Just wanted to make a point of clarification -- coworking is actually a movement to create an *alternative* to cafes... symbiotically I guess, but the hope is to create a worldwide network of spaces (like the Hat Factory and Citizen Space in San Francisco) that vagabond hackers can work out of as they (we) travel the world! Cafes are great, but they're not made for ongoing, productive working communities to form in... and hey, as a cafe coworking warrior myself, I'd like to be able to go to a cafe and enjoy it as a cafe for a change, instead of a workplace! ;) Hey, welcome to the club!
