Is "co-working" the New Starbucks? Flexible Workspace for Programmers

Every wealthy programmer knows the importance of great work space. If you're working as a freelancer, you probably spend a lot of time at home, or in the closest wifi-enabled coffee shop. If you have a full-time job, you probably spend too much time dealing with interruptions and office politics. Either way, wouldn't it be nice to have another place to go, aside from your living space or Starbucks?

Here's an idea: Vancouver is home to one of Canada's first (and best) "co-working" facilities, Workspace. Here's a little video explaining the concept:

Pure brilliance!

There will be a new Austin co-working spot - Launchpad Coworking - this summer. Can't wait. I'm so sick of just getting settled into my work at Starbucks, then having to leave because of some loudmouth on their phone sitting next to me. So frustrating!
