Twitter's Roof Deck
- tubbo 14y agothat's cute :)
- guynamedloren 14y agoNeat, but I can't handle the swiping motion of the photos. Really disorienting.
- 0cool 14y agoyes that's true, made me feel like beeing drunk
- spolu 14y agoReally? Which transition would you prefer? Isn't sliding fairly standard?
- rdl 14y agoIt 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).
- damncabbage 14y agoI agree; watching it gives me a headache. Unfortunately the row of thumbnails moving as well at a different rate seems to make it worse. It's like a parallax effect, but looks more incongruous than natural.
- cliveholloway 14y agoTrying to work out why this is on HN. What next, "Google's Bathrooms"?
- indiecore 14y agoI 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?
- tathagatadg 14y agoHaha just reminded me of that old video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrontojPWEE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrontojPWEE ...
- ry0ohki 14y agoUsed to work at a place with a roof deck, it's one of the best perks a startup can have IMO.
- noarchy 14y agoA 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.
- rdl 14y agoInterior looks interesting (http://mashable.com/2012/06/21/twitter-new-san-francisco-headquarters-pics 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.
- bricestacey 14y agoDoes the Mashable piece include any pictures of the work environment? I don't see anything but common space for eating and hanging out.
- sneak 14y agoAm I the only one that doesn't want my workplace to look like a boutique hotel? Less Standard, more Starfleet.
- PhrosTT 14y agoSee what "modern" looks like in 10 years.
- sneak 14y agoI have always preferred the future of the past to the future of the present.
- cpeterso 14y agoMozilla'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). :)
- antidaily 14y agoTwitter's roof? Boring. Teleportd? Interesting - Storify for pics.
- sthatipamala 14y agoInteresting 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"
- RobotCaleb 14y agoHow do they pay for it?
- vamsee 14y agoOkay, maybe an irrelevant question - do they move all those sofas when it rains?
