Sure there's overlap, but it seems to me the ideal time at a coworking space would be quiet crunching on your business, with some interesting people to chat to in the kitchen. The best times at a hackspace are when someone gets an idea, and someone else gets excited, and before you know it you're learning how to cast something in resin. The hackspace is the ideal "Third Space", whereas a coworking space is still ... work. Cool work, and hopefully pleasant and fulfilling to be at, but still work.

#16Is this really a hackspace? I know it's a woolly word, but a hackspace seems like a different thing to a coworking space - less focused on building businesses, and more on making cool shit and the sense of community.

#19Coworking is really gaining a head of steam. I use a coworking space in Seattle that I can't say enough good things about: http://officenomads.com . Great space, great community. Indispensable for those who could work at home, but don't want to.
Do the people from similar disciples give each other help much? I like the idea of being around other programmers that I could query, but I'd feel guilty about wasting their Work time.
