"If you look back just one year, you’ll see over 110 local efforts to get coworking spaces set up around the world. This isn’t an accident and this isn’t just the work of Silicon Valley types. This is the work of turned on, smart and destiny-shaping independents." - Chris Messina, http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2007/09/07/on-exporting-the-culture-of-silicon-valley/

Hmm...
I'm familiar with coworker (or co-worker--&, at one yahoogroup I used to read, cow-orker, which started as a humble typo, but so amused the regular readership it became a running joke, adopted by all.)--but I never before saw the "cowork" root used either by itself, or with any other ending but "__er" or "__ers."

Hi folks; I started the coworking stuff, and it has since been adopted around the world in a grassroots way. The word is "coworking" without a dash; vernacular words like coworking tend to drop dashes since dashes are akward to constantly use in common words.
Best,

But if you say coworking, how do you know if it is co-working or cow-orking?
