What we all too often forget is that co-working can be extended far beyond the tech startup space.

  I've been using a co-working space in Toronto called Camaraderie (http://camaraderie.ca/ http://camaraderie.ca/) - Just as you mentioned, the variety of people coming in is of a wide range. We have some tech startups renting desks/rooms, but also a woman who runs a Beer marketing company, life coaches, event organizers, and more. Although I love talking code/tech, it's interesting to see the variety coming through.

    I pop into Camaraderie frequently. I'm organizing Freelance camp with Rachel / Wayne.

  This is true. I just moved from Boston to Columbus, Ohio. Stopped by Sandbox the other day (which has an amazing building). It was really different than what I'm used to for coworking (betahouse in Cambridge). The most shocking thing was that it was much more 'small business' focused than 'startup/tech' focused. At betahouse 75% of people are developers of some type. At Sandbox, they seemed to have less than 10% of the people there as developers. Potentially not my thing, but very cool and I was happy to see them pulling in the larger small business community into the coworking idea.
