Xobni Basic is crippled compared to Xobni Plus in a way that doesn't turn me off completely to the light version and has gotten me to convince the boss that Xobni Pro is worth them coughing up $29.95. Although the free version should at least allow search operators: AND, OR, "", etc.

I think we'd all agree that it's pretty difficult to get away with naked market segmentation -- why domnmod a guy for complimenting a successful implementation that worked on him?

Because it has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual article?

Neat post, but I would have loved to see full-res pics instead of the little ones. I enjoy seeing the small details in everyone's setup.

You can find a slightly better (although not full-res) set here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/xobni/sets/72157623087041573/

Thanks for the link, but I was talking more so about the earlier versions of their "office" and not so much about the most recent.

Understood. On a related note, you may enjoy Officeal - a showcase of creative workspaces: http://officeal.com/.

I usually go to Deskography.com :-)

Here's a link to pics of the last Xobni office (dated May 30, 2008) http://www.officesnapshots.com/companies/xobni/

If you are into office setups, you'll probably love Office Snapshots. Office pr0n.

Crystal Tower may be great, but it's a total eyesore for everyone else in the area. Anyone know why it was allowed to be 2-3x taller than the other buildings in the vicinity?

I had a meeting there when Twitter was still laying carpet. Never saw it completely finished - it's pretty sweet looking!

If you have lots of log files to manage and are open to squatters, give me a holler! ;)

time to update the career page then:

Located near Union Square in beautiful San Francisco. Our office occupies a full floor with a ton of windows at the corner of Kearny and Sutter St

congrats guys.

It would be funny if showing up at the correct place for an onsite interview was part of the weed-out process of candidates who don't read the company blog!

Why would you care if prospective employies read the blog?
