Tired of the coffeeshop but allergic to the cubicle? Our friends over at Shareable have assembled 5 handy online resources for getting a coworking space up and running. Writes Beth Buczynski:

Finding a way to draw independent professionals with introverted tendencies out of their home offices and into a coworking space can be tricky. Whether you want to know if your community's ready for coworking, or are looking for tips about how to choose the right permanent location, veteran space owners and current coworkers are the best people to ask. These online resources will help you tap into the experience of the global coworking movement, and build a vibrant space in your community.
