We’re big fans of the whole coworking movement and enjoyed a recent visit to some of the more popular San Francisco coworking spaces.\u00a0The coworking movement is growing fast. They even have their own unconference<\/a>–set for March, 2011 in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n

The philosophy behind this movement sounds pretty utopian: a global community dedicated to the values of collaboration, openness, community, accessibility, and sustainability. But, when these values are put into practice, they manifest as a great hybrid between workspace, community center, event space, education resource, and even support group. And, for independent contractors or small startups, a coworking space can provide a professional environment and liberation from the isolation of working from home or the local coffee shop.<\/p>\n

Some of the spaces we recently checked out include NextSpace<\/a>,\u00a0Rocket Space<\/a>. From our view, the best spaces are close to public transportation and have great perks like free coffee (or espresso!), extracurricular events, and mixers and meetups for member networking.<\/p>\n
