Green Desk looks like an amazing new shared office/coworking space in Brooklyn. (DUMBO)
In addition to being carbon-neutral (solar panels, carbon credits, renewable energy), they’ve got some really unique features: fitness center with shower, shared bicycles, rooftop access and views of Manhattan, shared MP3 archive, etc.
Best of all, it’s an awesome location (just one stop into Brooklyn on the A/C and F) and prices start at only $300/month!
If I were in NYC, I’d love to work here.

UPDATE:
Thanks for the support and the blog post. We’re actually opening our first floor in the building on June 1 and we’re getting close to being sold out pre-opening. The response has been really amazing.

Opens in two weeks and they’re almost full!
That’s what I asked Friday morning, and below is what I got back. All these wonderful strangers from all over the world (and a few familiar faces) writing in about their passions.
Something about twitter is exciting in the same way email was exciting 10 years back. It really does feel like the world just shrunk.
I don’t know whether twitter is supposed to be about connecting you with your friends, or with the world, but there’s a really exciting sense of energy here that’s inescapable.
My friend Joe started this thing called AirBed & Breakfast for a San Francisco design conference when all the local hotel rooms were booked up. He and his roommate figured they could roll out some airbeds, charge way less than a hotel, and toss in some first-hand knowledge of the city and camaraderie from fellow conference attendees to boot. People loved it.
They launched a new site just in time for SXSW so anyone can offer up airbeds. It’s an idea very much in line with Jelly, bringing like-minded awesome people together.
If you’re gonna be there, you should sign up!

NYC-born Jelly’s been spreading right proper lately, with six events coming up in the next 6 days!
That includes Houston, TX (#1), Austin, TX (#2), Stockholm, Sweden (#2), New York City (#29), Boston (#2), and Cincinnati (#2). Whew!
Here’s the Jelly update email I just sent out, via Campaign Monitor, who’s sponsoring Jelly with free email lists for each city’s event. Thanks guys! (Thanks also to pbwiki, which sponsors with a premium wiki account.)
p.s. If anyone knows how we can get a copy of the Today show interview on Jelly on November 4th, please email me! (I haven’t seen it yet.)
