So for years, smokers within an office have had to go outside to smoke. I've heard it said that within a given worksite, smokers are often the most informed employees within a company. Why? Because they know what's going on in many other areas of the company - they get the info from their smoking buddies. The informal network. Hi Julien,

Nice post. The challenge? The connectors in the organization inevitably have a lot of power...and power in the wrong hands can be dangerous. I've seen ego destroy more than a few gifted connectors.

By having a community-forward coworking space, the friction to getting things done is always approaching zero. Geoff and I talked about this at SXSW earlier this year, and caught a video. http://www.indyhall.org/blog/2009/04/18/indyhall-201-communities-of-trust/ Great post, man!
