Palo Alto already is a suburb. So their current offices are in a suburb of a suburb.

So with Van Natta at the helm of MySpace, is he going to turn them around and trounce FB? That would be poetic, I think.

who gives a fuck about kara swisher or anyones cafeteria?

why don't you give us something juicy (intended) like why facebook had to hide all the hotties in their old lytton street office, and where said hotties are residing in the new digs?

What I took away from all of this:

Now that Arianna is auctioning off her virginity she's going to have to get a handle on how to operate some genitals.

So ... Yahoo is news and groups and Google isn't? This is so? Has she researched her opposition? Next she'll tell us Yahoo has free messages and Google doesn't.

@Tremonius: Totally... "you don't go to google for financial news", really? That's the primary place I go.

I like that she's standing up for her company, but she should pick examples that aren't completely fictitious.

I don't find it endearing at all that this woman cannot make it through a Q&A or a speech without saying "fuck." It really doesn't take that much control to not say bad words.

@m4ximusprim3: Yes, Ballmer, who like all of them uses the "I" word incessantly. The reason they are parrots spouting Innovation is that they've never exhibited any. They didn't invent DOS, they retailed it. They didn't invent GUI, they copied it. They didn't invent the word processing, spreadsheet, browser, music, search, gaming market, they ran over it with a great big rig with Windows on the side. The F word would be much more honest for a softie.

"As to those filthy Yahoos, although there were few greater lovers of mankind, at that time, than myself, yet I confess I never saw any sensitive being so detestable on all accounts; and the more I came near them, the more hateful they grew, while I stayed in that country."

I don't normally use Gawker comments to complain about content on the site, but really, this is the fifth Twitter story today alone.

Julia Allison drank a glass of water today, and twatted it. Do I smell a sixth story?

Hate to blow the the trumpet.

This ancient bastard is about 5 years too late.

People care more about writing themselves than reading. It's not logical to have a "Tribune" or "Times" company.

This luddite paper fetish bullshit has to stop.

"fair use" is a doctrine of copyright law that applies to both web and print, and it allows for multiple sentences of copyright material to be used without permission of the copyright owner. specifically for "review."

like book reviews in newspapers, criticize is what blogs do. if the intent of the blogger is to supersede the work that they are excerpting (by re-publishing paragraphs upon paragraphs of unoriginal copy, as owen points out), well, that's not "fair use." i would say the WSJ crossed a line.

Sahmoononon: Oh, I wouldn't lose any sleep over that.

When I blew into my twitter-phone, the feedback squeal nearly deafened me.

I probably won't be trying that again anytime soon.
