Neat, but I can't handle the swiping motion of the photos. Really disorienting.

yes that's true, made me feel like beeing drunk

Really? Which transition would you prefer? Isn't sliding fairly standard?

rdl2• 14 years ago

It hits the uncanny valley of slide speed -- too fast to follow, too slow to ignore.

A simpler transition is better, like the mashable gallery (I think just a quick black between frames).

Used to work at a place with a roof deck, it's one of the best perks a startup can have IMO.

noarchy• 14 years ago

A nice perk for a startup, indeed. But Twitter isn't something that we can call a startup at this point. I'm sure that the real estate that they're using is well beyond the financial means of almost all startups.

Interior looks interesting (http://mashable.com/2012/06/21/twitter-new-san-francisco-hea...)

I think I prefer Google's HQ to this, but it might be an issue of scale. I'd still take a private office in a boring building over a desk in an open-plan -- getting work done at work is more important to me than having a pretty place to do it.

Does the Mashable piece include any pictures of the work environment? I don't see anything but common space for eating and hanging out.

Am I the only one that doesn't want my workplace to look like a boutique hotel?

Less Standard, more Starfleet.

See what "modern" looks like in 10 years.

I have always preferred the future of the past to the future of the present.

Mozilla's Mountain View office has conference rooms named after locations on the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D). The boardroom is the Bridge and the main meeting area/kitchen is Ten Forward. There's also Sickbay and Warp Core (though I feel a little uneasy about attending meetings in the Warp Core). :)

Trying to work out why this is on HN. What next, "Google's Bathrooms"?

indiecore• 14 years ago

I hear google has whiteboard bathrooms. I mean who hasn't come up with an idea they need to write down right away while on the throne?

Haha just reminded me of that old video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrontojPWEE ...

Twitter's roof? Boring. Teleportd? Interesting - Storify for pics.

sthatipamala• 14 years ago

Interesting site but the description on the homepage is horrifically hard to parse: "Find and use in real-time relevant crowd-sourced photos from the smartphone generation"

How do they pay for it?

vamsee• 14 years ago

Okay, maybe an irrelevant question - do they move all those sofas when it rains?
