There is a really cool slide show of a group of SF coworking facilities at Lion Photography. The photographs were taken during a coworking tour and the group got around SF on Biodiesel Betty's renewable fuels bus. The Civic Actions blog describes the tour.
On a related topic Fortune has an article on coworking that does a nice job explaining what coworking is.
Coworking as a work concept has grown quite a bit since we first starting following this trend several years ago. While coworking for office working gets most of the attention, we are seeing a growing trend of "coworking like" shared resources in other areas.
We posted earlier on TechShop, which is a coworking facility for hard core DIYers, and on the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network which consist of coworking facilities for nanotech companies. The shared resource concept is part of a much broader trend of high cost facilities and equipment becoming "rentable".
