After reading this and seeing some of the comments I am a bit shocked. I've been in a coworking space for about 1.5 years and we survive with a lot of these things happening. People take calls where they are sitting on phones and on skype. People have meetings in shared spaces. People eat all over the place in the shared space (beyond just the kitchen). We're perfectly able to complain about what perceived wrongs have occurred to us lately. Nobody is live tweeting other people's shit. And I've basically seen basically zero issues with all this. Why? I suspect it's because we're respectful of one another and act like professionals. The mere fact you're threatening to live tweet about other people in the office says to me you aren't ready to share space with other people. If you can't handle normal human behaviors such as eating near you, you probably don't belong in a shared space. I think some introspection is needed on the part of the author. I think the real secret to working well in a shared space is being mature and actually talking to people to resolve any issues you might have. We all make mistakes, but most are very easily corrected with a simple 'excuse me, would you mind <suggested solution to problem>'. Yeah, that's about all it takes. A screening process for who can join also isn't a bad idea.
