What is Coworking?

Freelancers and small businesses are starting to learn the benefits of "Coworking." Coworking is the word that's been invented to describe situations where people get together to rent office space as a group. It's similar to a co-op but based more on the idea that people inside the coworking facility are more likely to be renters for a relatively short term instead of the long term and contractual obligations that are part of the co-op model.

There was recently a review of iBiz on MacWorld. Anita seemed to like the idea.

iBiz is out for me since it only runs on Mac.

I've tried out QuickBooks and found a homegrown spreadsheet to be more than sufficient for my needs.

What works for you?

Here's a good blog entry that will help us freelancers get back to why we're in this in the first place, as well as reminding us of some tips to keep things going. Although the title is "7 Habits of a Highly Successful Freelance Web Designer", us print folks can get the message as well.
