What’s the best part about moving into new digs? Well, decorating it and showing off the space to your friends, of course. That’s the thrill Twitter employees are feeling right now. According to Tech Crunch, the company moved into its new, massive San Francisco office space, which had previously housed Bebo, on Monday. Employees are posting online photos more quickly than we can click through them.
Here’s a peek of what we’ve seen so far: The design is super sleek and modern — from the furniture to the art. According to the Huffington Post, it’s the brainchild of Sara Morishige Williams, wife of CEO Evan Williams. There are plenty of birds and ‘@’ symbols plastered around the office. There’s a shot of a vanity mirror placed in a spacious bathroom stall (which is a little creepy). And just to prove its own hipness, the company installed a DJ booth for employees to spin records and unwind after long hours of coding. In keeping with Web 2.0 style, there’s a kitchen/break room worthy of its own cooking show.
While the micro-blogging service has an estimated worth of $1 billion, it might be a good idea for it to work on a proper business model before splurging on a new crib. You know, the kind where your company makes a profit. We’re not economists, but isn’t this the kind of reckless behavior that got us into our current financial mess?
