Visiting the Friendfeed Global International Headquarters ...

... and helping out with the move.

Since I was in Mountain View, CA for the first half of this passing week, I used the chance to make up for all the missed friendfeed open house and TGIFF invitations. On Monday afternoon I took a break from preparing my slides for EclipseDay at the Googleplex and dropped by the Friendfeed Global International Headquarters - new and old.
It was great to finally meet up with the team behind the service of which not only I think that it is excellent in scope, execution and promise.
After a warm welcome by Ana and a chat with Paul, I joined the team in moving from the old office to the new location, contributing my share to friendfeed's continued success ;)

Among the non-trivial tasks of relocating a global international headquarter was mounting a high-tech mailbox to the precise specifications laid out by Ana - that is "So that our short and chubby mailman can reach it". Paul and I had to make more than one attempt to get it right.

Over the course of my stay I was successively introduced to the rest of the team and I have to say you guys rock. I had a blast talking to you all and I am sure that my Monday afternoon friendfeed diversion helped with the success of the talk at Google the following day :D

P.S.: Ana thank you for the shirts. I took mine out for a walk in Munich today. My girlfriend says thank you for thinking of one for her too - since you and I could not find the girl cuts in the box, it looks like as if I'll get around to wear that one too though :)
