After seeing this big moves Facebook decided to do something similar and according to Los Angeles Business Journal: “Facebook has quietly shopped for space and last week signed a letter of intent to lease several thousand square feet in an office complex developed by Tishman Speyer Properties in Playa Vista”. Playa vista it´s right after Venice Beach to the southeast, however on their website Facebook says Venice Beach to be a little cooler. Silicon Beach is how Los Angeles Business Journal called Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Playa del Rey and Playa Vista.

For the residents of Venice Beach, I´d like say that rent will start rising and traffic getting worse, just imagine the new aprox 700 hundred employees from Google coming to the area and the unconfirmed number of Facebookers.

It´s time to start looking for that old bike that you have in your storage or to start skateboarding, although check if you can renew your leases for a two or three years period before the wave of new techies approach our cost.

I´m glad that we are in a completely different business than Google and Facebook, but as them, it´s clear that RESULTS.com is moving their entire industry forward.

For those who are interested in reading how Facebook and Google are competing, this is what it has happend lately:

Facebook launched a super energy efficient data center trying to commoditized one of Google’s most important assets: its data centers.

Facebook created a data center 38% more energy efficient than the standard data center and cost 24% less, but what is best is that they specs are open and on open compute project.

Super exciting times to be in!

Los Angeles is a crazy city, there are more than 14 million people and almost one car per person, there is traffic all around the city and the public transportation is the worst of the country. A high percentage of the population is Latina and there are lot of people who moved to Los Angeles to became part of the ¨entertainment industry” what means lot of cultural activates but a little of superficiality in some of those people.

Venice of America was a neighborhood created by Abbot Kinney, who was an influential businessman and politician, who was fluent in 6 languages. His purpose to create Venice was to share his interest in art and culture and he had the dream of creating a great cultural Mecca in America. Walking the channels is a must to do if you stop by.
