An excerpt from Fortune about the early “office” of facebook:<p>“The house at 819 La Jennifer Way, with a resident population of seven guys, felt like a dorm. Some people — female and male — stopped by for days and just hung around. Stanford University was only a mile away, so the housemates would announce parties using a Facebook feature that enabled them to target specific schools. They were mobbed by Stanford students and townies.”<p>After a month with 7 of us living in a 1 bedroom apartment in Palo Alto, we have decided to upgrade. We are recreating the atmosphere described above of high energy openness and are inviting brilliant hackers, designers, ideators… you name it… to drop by and work, hangout, and live with us (seriously, we are only using 2 of the 5 bedrooms in this place so let me know if you are looking for a sweet place to live).<p>The house is in Midtown Palo Alto (walking distance to anything you will ever need) and has a huge open working space for whomever wants to come. We work 18+ hours a day (somebody is always awake), have a constant supply of snacks and beverages, and invite hackers around the world to drop by anytime, 24/7 to work, live for a bit, hack with us, play a game of ping pong or just hangout. Email me anytime to get the address and drop by or say hello. evan dot reas at gmail
I am very disappointed that I live all the way on the East Coast. I miss out on opportunities like these constantly.<p>You guys are really great to offer this; I would really like to visit at some point.
I really want to do something like this when I (hopefully) head over there for a few months later in the year. I'm stuck in the UK and desperate to get over to Silicon Valley to experience the optimistic and fail-fast attitude, since I've been acting like that here in the UK (with some success) and it's not easy to find like-minded people.<p>Hope you're still looking for people in a few months!
