Photos of Twitter’s New Headquarters

twitter-hq

Check out Twitter’s new digs in the SoMa district of San Francisco. Not too shabby. Mostly designed by co-founder Ev Williams and his wife Sara, Twitter’s new headquarters is focused on minimalism, modernism and an odd fascination with deer.

These photos and many more were lovingly uploaded at the official Twitter photostream on Flickr. Head over there to see the complete set.

Obama is a Twitter Fraud

obama-twitter

I am shocked… SHOCKED about the recent revelation that Obama has not authored any of his 418 tweets posted to his Twitter account, @BarackObama. Doesn’t he have a free second between ruling the free world and meeting with world leaders to fill us in about… oh I don’t know… what he’s eating for lunch, maybe?

While in China, Obama was quoted as saying “I have never used Twitter but I’m an advocate of technology and not restricting internet access.” Right, right, net neutrality, blah blah. But you’ve NEVER USED TWITTER?! And I voted for this guy?

Twitter “Follow Me” Tattoo Socks

tweetsock1

It’s understandable that some of you are hesitant to get something as permanent as a tattoo. Especially with a fad site like Twitter. Who knows how long the novelty will last? A massive “follow me” tattoo isn’t for everyone.

These “Follow Me” Tattoo Socks give you that temporary ink look, just in case you’re not ready to take the leap into permanence. If you love showing off a little leg, this is a great way to gain some new follwers, and perhaps a stalker to two.

Google Street View Spies on LARPing Nerds

googlemapslarpers

A globe-trotting Twitter user discovered this Google Street View image of a bunch of nerds LARPing it up for the cameras. They’re prepared for dragon slaying, princess slaying and immortality, but are they prepared for eternal embarrassment? Next, on “LARPing to the Oldies”.

I live right across the PA border, but I haven’t seen anything like this around here. Those cats in Pittsburgh know what’s going down.

Is This Screenshot Proof of iTunes 9 Social Networking Integration?

itunes-9-facebook1

According to BGR, this screenshot taken from Facebook shows the upcoming social networking interaction offered by iTunes 9, expected to be announced at Apple’s September 9, 2009 special event.

While the screenshot clearly shows notifications for new songs added to the iTunes library and the creation of a playlist, I wonder how far Apple has gone with the social interaction. Will we be able to share the tracks we are currently listening too?
