Mozilla’s New Mountain View Office

Jose Ramirez — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 13:00:33 +0000

It’s been a couple years since we last visited Mozilla, so we thought we’d check in again. Good thing we did, cos they’ve got a new place in downtown Mountain View. Not that their old place was bad, but this one is nicer and quite a bit more spacious. And with Firefox’s huge growth over the past few years, I’m sure they need it.

There are a couple things I really love about this office. First of all, they have a Speakers Room, where, yes, speakers can come in to, yes, speak to the company. Seems like a really cool way to keep everyone in the office engaged and constantly learning. Anyways, secondly, they have an enormous assortment of snacks, including, but not limited to, Pirate’s Booty, Pop Chips, and Kettle Chips.

Sorry about all those commas.

Tellme Office Remodel

Stephen Searer — Tue, 05 May 2009 13:30:29 +0000

Jose wrote about Tellme a while back, and it just so happened that they have remodeled their office since those pictures were taken. So Dug from Tellme was nice enough to send over some updated images of the space.

While we didn’t have the best pictures before, these new ones really show the space off well. Very open feel with the high ceiling, and a LOT of natural light. The floorplan looks to be very long, but with partitions to make the space a bit smaller. An of course, the company is owned by Microsoft, so they naturally have a large Master Chief and huge gaming area.

Meebo HQ

Stephen Searer — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:30:34 +0000

If you haven’t used Meebo yet, and you love talking with your friends and/or enemies online, then you should check them out. Meebo allows it’s users to connect with any IM network id, video chat, group chat, and has recently began to power community chat on sites throughout the web. Learn more here.

Meebo is another great company that I was able to visit during my last visit to the bay area. We previously showed their space while it was under construction a while back, and my has the company grown. Examining the differences, the company could possibly need a new space soon.

Each employee has a hefty amount of screen real estate, which I assume is for the hundreds of chat windows they all have open at all times. While Meebo has a good amount of fun-making equipment, they also have a lot of beer in their fridge. If I were voting on my favorite office innovation of all time, I’d definitely vote for Meebo’s paper-ream monitor stands. Lastly, I’d like to thank the Meebo crew for letting me creepily lurk around the office to take pictures.

Appcelerator Office

Jose Ramirez — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:00:15 +0000

People seem to like Appcelerator, and with good cause. Appcelerator is an open source software company that develops products and services for developing rapid rich Internet applications. They like to make make it easier for you to develop sweet apps. They’re nice like that.

Today, we’re taking a look at Appcelator’s new office in Mountain View, CA. They have a pretty nice view of the trees of Silicon Valley. They also have freshly painted red walls. That’s about it, really. I’m guessing they’ll have computers in there, at some point, if they’re serious about this whole “Internet” thing.

Tellme Office

Jose Ramirez — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:00:05 +0000

Let me tell you about Tellme. Tellme is somewhere between your own personal concierge and calling (the permanently useless) 411. You call Tellme on your phone and ask something — sport scores, movie times, stock quotes, local businesses, etc. — and you can either hear the results or have them sent to you via text message.

In a world where the Internet is in most people’s pockets, this technology seems like it might be a little late. But then again, not everyone has an iPhone, and so using your voice to get information may just be a smidge faster for some. Plus, it’s backed by Microsoft, so it won’t go down without a fight.

Something else Microsoft is good for: buying you sweet red phone booths. If that isn’t an entrance to the Ministry of Magic, I’ll eat my hat.
