If you missed our inaugural day of coworking last week at Venue222, you missed a bustling, energetic day of activity.  If you attended, you saw:

• some people working with their headphones on all day long.
• periods of networking and long conversation.
• a group of coworkers grab the big table in the back room and fill the whiteboard with notes.
• at least three ping pong games break out.
• a couple instances of people sneaking away upstairs for conference calls.

And that doesn’t include all the coffee-drinking, tweeting, and the walk to Iris Book Cafe for lunch in their courtyard.

If you missed it, we’ll be doing it again, with some changes based on feedback.  Follow all our developments via any of the means below.

Gee, it’s hard to tell from the 9 SXSW Interactive panel submissions (8 on the search results plus this one).  But that’s just one conference.  Todd Sundsted has taken the time to give us a graph tracking the number of tweets that mention "coworking."  You can see the growth for yourself.

And of course there’s James Bentley’s manually curated map of coworking places around the world.
