Carrboro Creative Coworking

The sixth video in the journey to build a coworking space in Carrboro, North Carolina. We've been open six months. See all the videos at carrborocoworking.blip.tv and carrborocoworking.com.

This morning I got to start my day by listening to a wonderful story about CCC called Sharing an office can be a good thing. It was on the nationally syndicated radio show Marketplace Morning from American Public Media. Thank you WUNC for carrying this show!

The piece is by Janet Babin. She's the Marketplace innovation desk reporter based here in Chapel Hill. The State of North Carolina is so lucky to have her here. I love it when we get to show the country and the world how great this state is. Especially the technology stuff going on. Because this story is about ALL the people here at CCC. Its about the importance of community.

There's a good story in The Herald Sun newspaper today by Sarah Scott called Carrboro Creative Coworking fills niche (registration required). This article does a good job of describing our community atmosphere and what we offer. It has wonderful quotes from two CCC coworkers Sean Cribbs and Kathleen Kearns.

We have space for you! Even though we are doing well and lots of people are working here there is room for you. If not today tomorrow. Right now we have a Full Time Desk and many Part Time seats available. In the future even more opportunities will open up. So keep an eye on the right column block called Space Availability for the latest info. :)

The very energetic and talented Wayne Sutton came over the other day to interview me about CCC. As always it was fun to talk with Wayne and show off the brand new space. I hope he comes back and does another video when we have more art on the walls and people working. Yesterday was busy!

Check out this well edited video from 30Threads.com. I am increasingly impressed with the content they make. Keep it up!

The Carrboro Citizen, our local town newspaper, has published the article Creative Coworking offers a new dynamic. I wrote about it earlier when it first appeared in the student online mag The Carrboro Commons. I really like this article. So its nice to see this in print form reaching a bigger and different audience.

Another good article is out that covers some more of the philosophy of CCC and local economics. The best writing about this new business so far has been from students. I'm impressed. This one is by Caroline McMillan at the Carrboro Commons, a project of the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communications. Its called Creative Coworking offers a new dynamic.
