It’s a new season, and you know what that means, Twitter migrated to new offices. We’ve seen their space a number of times (version 1, version 1 video, version 2), and the company has just kept exploding in size. So naturally, they would need to step up their offices space to meet whatever needs they come upon.
This new space is extremely roomy and open compared to their last couple offices. And by roomy, I mean very roomy, with the different areas being a good 30 feet apart. I’d assume that each one is assigned to a different task, so that spacing could definitely minimize the sounds coming from other work areas. Unless of course, they have one of those loud laughers that keeps getting knee-slappers retweeted to him.
The wall colors and decoration are fun, the carpet is what I imagine carpet looks like when we are all wearing foil for clothes, and the windows are great. Surely, lots of natural light too! The kitchen area looks well stocked, and the common area is so large, all of Oprah’s followers could have a tweetup and have some seats left over. All that said, the space is very plain, which I know for a fact will be the downside people talk about. However, that could easily be because the space is so new, it doesn’t have any of those ‘been worked in’ touches to it yet. As you can tell in a few photos, it looks like it is still being worked on.
I’ll bet you haven’t heard of Foodzie before. If you love food as much as I do, though, you’ll be thanking me later. Foodzie is a marketplace for finding and buying all sorts of delicious and/or interesting food directly from the people who made it. They have some pretty awesome sounding stuff, including Organic Whoopie Pies, Sweet n Sassy Mama’s Backwoods BBQ Sauce, and Organic Bacon Caramel(!).
Foodzie’s office is located in beautiful San Francisco. They have two fantastic winning features: red brick walls and a dog. Their office puppy must be the most well behaved dog in the world, because they have food all over the place and he doesn’t seem to be jumping on the tables and pulling a Christmas Story.

Do you cut the red wire? Do you cut the blue wire? Well, I always forget, and instead of being either stressed out or dead, I usually just book a trip on using Hotwire. Hotwire is a travel booking company that, in addition to having extremely small prices on tickets, they have tiny offices and tiny people.
As you can see, this is just a quick peek into their office, but it gives a good picture is what the space is like. Cubicles, natural light (not the beer), and a good amount of screen real estate.
Does television for dummies have your self-esteem down in the dumps? Well, Fora.tv has arrived to make you feel smart again. Instead of keeping your mind in the doldrums, you can watch their intellectually stimulating programming. They cover topics ranging from the economy and culture, to politics and science.
The Fora.tv office is located in San Francisco, in what used to be a pollution creation machine. The space is pretty young, but has great views of the city, albeit from a distance. The roof access is also a great amenity to have so employees can get fresh air without having to get much exercise.
We haven’t featured any fashion design companies before, but oda seems like a great place to start. oda is based in San Francisco and specializes in using socially sound materials and practices to make their clothing, ensuring that their pieces both aesthetically and environmentally pleasing.
oda’s office is pretty. Very pretty. It’s the kind of office you would be afraid to use because you don’t want to mess it up. Not the best place to be productive, perhaps, but definitely a great place to be inspired. And isn’t that the most important part of creating art?
