Twitter’s New Office Has Skee Ball
A few years ago we took a look at the impressive offices of some of your favorite websites. The highlights? Google had a fun looking slide and an entire wall of free snacks; YouTube dedicated a room to Star Wars and placed a mini golf course right in the middle of things; and… Read More
What Do You Think of Twitter’s New Bird Logo?
TechCrunch thinks the “sharper, aerodynamic 3-feather design” is meant ot represent the obliteration of the fail whale. CNET insists that this new blue bird looks happier. Betabeat jests that it’s all part of a misguided attempt to win over Jonathan Franzen. But the best explanation of Twitter’s newly redesigned… Read More

Watch Louis CK, Roseanne, Joel McHale and More Read Their Followers' Meanest Tweets
Twitter is freaking weird. Where else can you share your thoughts on celebrities with the knowledge that they may actually read them — or even respond?
