I can hardly contain my excitement with today's Nerd Alert Report. Photos inside the actual offices of Twitter?! YIPPEE! It's like Nerd Porn. Twitter is becoming so popular that the mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom figured it was time to pay the office a visit. I'm in love with Evan Williams' Cornhusker roots. No other new "news" to report from the company except that Ellen joined, oh and their offices are Getty-worthy.
