What is this?

This is the work blog of Pete Ashton in his capacity as an online communications consultant, though it's often about more than that. If it's to do with people talking online and it interests me it'll be covered here.

If you're interested in working with me get in touch.

Coworking and Internet Culture

At Moseley Barcamp last week I did a short talk about the Coworking movement, specifically looking at how it differs from similar notions of collective activity by being informed my Internet culture. My aim was to take a snapshot of a larger thing I’ve been thinking about – how the supercharged networked nature of online communication informs the collectives that emerge from it.

Rhubarb Radio recorded all the audio from the Barcamp (you can find mp3s of each talk here) so I took my slides and recreated the talk as a movie.

If you’d rather you can download the mp3 or just look at the slides in isolation.

Here are the links from the last slide:
moseleyexchange.com
indyhall.org
citizenspace.us
nwcny.com
workatjelly.com
refreshingcities.org
coworking.info

I didn’t include the questions in the video because I didn’t have any slides for them and wanted to keep the talk as a discrete object but you can find them about 15 minutes into the mp3. I might do something with them later.

I’d welcome your thoughts on this either in the comments or on your own blogs (leave a link below).

Here’s a photo of me during the talk taken by Casper, probably during one of the pauses since I appear be looking at a slide and wondering what I meant to say about it.
