Desks Near Me - find great coworking places to work at

Price would be useful to have. It looks like the front page asks non-free spaces to mention that clearly in the description, but browsing through, the descriptions are pretty vague on that. Clicking through to the sites, it looks like they range from a person or small company with some spare desks they're willing to let you use free, to dedicated commercial spaces charging $20-30/day to rent. Those are pretty different categories, and I doubt I'd normally be looking for both simultaneously.

Just a note to anyone visiting the site. We are currently having issues with the mass demand of visits and going over our Google API request limit.<p>Currently in a team Skype call trying to resolve the issue. You can still see all the workplaces available via the "Workplaces" link. Search and creating workplaces are the pages that are affected.<p>Thanks to everyone for checking us out. We will keep @desksnearme updated with the progress.<p>Cheers.

I like it. Actually, I'm looking for a desk to work at in Buenos Aires for the next 3 weeks. The cafes here are very busy and noisy.<p>I wonder if AirBnB will enter this category since they are a "marketplace for space".

There's one location listed in Hollywood, CA, with an address listing of 'hollywood': <a href="http://desksnear.me/workplaces/7-fortress-of-solitude" rel="nofollow">http://desksnear.me/workplaces/7-fortress-of-solitude</a><p>The idea is cute, but I assume there's some kind of QC available for verifying links? Otherwise you're literally begging to be overwhelmed by griefers at this stage.

The search function does not work for me. I typed in 'Baltimore' and received zero results. But when I browsed the listings I came upon Beehive Baltimore ( <a href="http://desksnear.me/workplaces/32-beehive-baltimore" rel="nofollow">http://desksnear.me/workplaces/32-beehive-baltimore</a>).

Little known secret: libraries and hotel lobbies are great coworking locations for little to no cost.

Great! As someone who floats from cafe to bedroom to cafe throughout the week, this is a service i have been looking for. Impressed that you already have a location in Melbourne, Australia in your database, i'll probably go check them out.

We've been getting a lot of really great feedback from this site and twitter and we've been taking it all under consideration. Feel free to check out <a href="http://blog.desksnear.me" rel="nofollow">http://blog.desksnear.me</a> for some updates.<p>And guys, if you love the idea and want to see the site around, please vote for us at <a href="http://railsrumble.com/teams/the-rad-warlike-annex" rel="nofollow">http://railsrumble.com/teams/the-rad-warlike-annex</a> when public voting opens on Oct 21! The prizes will keep us alive for a long type!

Would it be beyond the scope of this to list temporary coworking spaces? For example there's a couple of places in my area that run an open office either weekly or monthly and it might be good to have a listing of those sorts of spaces.<p>It'd also be good to link in with the coworking visa that a number of coworking spaces are members of. And in fact it'd be good to work more closely with coworking spaces in general via the coworking wiki.

Great initiative! AirBnB for desks is really needed. Would be great to choose one day where I'd like to work :)<p>I think a lot of works needs to be done on UI. You don't need location from browser, you can just show desks within my city (get that from ip). And no facebook connect?<p>Watch how AirBnB did it. Start slow and from few cities then generalize it to other.<p>Good Luck!

Please please please, let me create an account without having to jump through silly hoops like OpenID or Twitter. Your little website just isn't compelling enough for me to do that.<p>I want to try it though, just to give you some feedback. Please let me create a simple login so that I can do so.

OK, this web site has a terrible terrible interface. It uses these nonstandard recessed ovaloids and SOME of them are text fields and others are buttons that take you to other pages. It also tries to establish a HTML5 database without letting me know why.

It's almost unusable on my G1, I think because of this:<p><pre><code> &#60;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0;"&#62; </code></pre> I can't zoom out to properly see the page.

There's already a pretty good directory here: <a href="http://wiki.coworking.info/Directory" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.coworking.info/Directory</a><p>It has none of the comfort features that desknear.me is attempting, though.

Nice work guys - this is excellent. Site feels awesome, and I will definitely be using it rather than having to put a shoutout on Twitter to find coworking spaces.<p>Great idea. Excellent execution.

I've added Gridspy (be fun to have a companion) <a href="http://desksnear.me/workplaces/87-gridspy-office" rel="nofollow">http://desksnear.me/workplaces/87-gridspy-office</a>

Like the application? Head on over to <a href="http://railsrumble.com/entries" rel="nofollow">http://railsrumble.com/entries</a> and vote for us!

Nice site, and I'd like to add the coworking space I work at, but...I don't own it. It looks like adding it presupposes ownership of the space.

I was confused by the button "workplaces". Maybe something more explicit like "completely workplace listing" or "all workplaces"?

I don't think the Rails Rumble is actually in Earth, Texas (as the map shows) ;-)

Great idea and nice execution! I can't wait til there is some desks in my area.

one thing, it did take me a second to figure out where i could upload a picture.<p>i kept naturally thinking it would be someone in the workplace edit page. Maybe a link from that page would be nice.

Also see loosecubes.com.

great idea for a site. good luck in the rumble!
