Loosecubes!

Last week, I was getting a bit stir crazy working in the apartment all day, day after day.  Then I found out about Loosecubes!  Loosecubes is a service that connects people who want a change of scenery from working at home with companies who have extra, empty desks.  Simply sign-up for their service through Facebook or LinkedIn, and you are connected to dozens of co-working locations.  The service and co-working locations are free as companies enjoy having a steady stream of professionals with whom they can share ideas and collaborate.

I tried out the service last week by co-working at Loosecubes headquarters in Brooklyn.  The employees were friendly; the chairs were comfortable; and Brooklyn Roasting Company was right across the street for all of my coffee needs.  The internet speed was great, and they even had a tent where private calls and discussions could be had.  It was a great change from the four walls of my apartment!

The Loosecubes concept is a great one, but I do wonder how long it will remain a free service.  At some point, they will need to find a way generate revenue.  But until then, I’ll be checking out other Loosecubes locations to meet more people, learn about more companies, and enjoy the experience of co-working.
