9 Easy Ways To Use Dark Paint In Your Home
The fairly new company is experiencing rapid growth, reminiscent of many other social networking platforms like Facebook and MySpace. The office space, while feeling a bit dark, seems to be a good reflection of their brand, but at times feels like it's trying a bit too hard to be sophisticated and cool. Perhaps their new target market is corporations? Let's take an in-depth look at their space.
Twitter Settles Into New Digs
Twitter's new office space is located in San Francisco, just a few blocks from their old space. The interiors are very "Twitter" with birds and lots of the site's signature blue. In the lobby area, the Twitter logo is the only focal feature on the large wall. The logo marks the beginning of a black and wood theme that follows throughout the space.
The @ symbol, which is a large part of Twitter culture, makes a glowing statement on the wall. Did you know that the average age of a Twitter user is 31? Older than we expected.
Remember Facebook's offices with the turntables? Well, Twitter has a DJ booth too! it must be one of those interactive/internet/social media company must-haves.
Seating arrangement in the main community area. I'm not sure that these look very comfortable.
Simple white chairs pop out from the striped carpet tiles and dark wood tables. There are currently about 49 people employed at the company, so it looks like there's room for guests at lunchtime. Source: Read Write Web
The wall art reads "Tell Your Stories Here," which may reference Twitter's original tagline, "What are you doing?" As of today, the most popular users on Twitter are Ashton Kutcher, Britney Spears and Ellen DeGeneres. Twitter itself is #6. Source: Twitterholic
The dark floor makes the white furniture and signature Twitter blue really pop -- do you think that they had that paint color custom made?
The bird motif has been in Twitter's logo since the company was formed back in 2006.
Twitter's concept is easy: Answer the question "What are you doing?" in 140 characters or less. Send this information via mobile texting, instant message or the web.
Twitter's bright green wall is a little something unexpected, considering they don't use green in their branding. It really livens up the space. Love that little cuckoo clock!
