The interior of Mark Little-founded, Murdoch-purchased news gathering whatsit Storyful’s new offices/European HQ/Death Star on Lower Baggot Street, Dublin..

Carpets.

Chairs.

Wooden ‘cubby hole’ shelving.

A facsimile machine.

What the fupping fupp are we doing wrong for pity’s sake?

    Possible the very out-dated WordPress template and the poor commenting system (and the commenters) don’t help much…

        It’s true though, we’re poo. When I started perusing this website ages ago, loads of comments were an awful lot better than my own. Now… Well, they still are, but they’re not as sharp, smart and/or funny as they used to be. Or they’re in the minority*. No offence.
        *(I’m sure you reading this are part of said minority.)

          Comments decrying the drop in quality of the comments are as old as broadsheet itself almost.

          There was no golden age.

          Although, I liked Mani. He is presumably doing more productive things.

            I disagree with that, although I don’t think there was a golden age either. The comments were just more sharp, smart and/or funny.
            Not all of them, but there is a significantly noticeable difference.

    The low ceilings and sterilised, sanitised yellow carpets would give anyone a headache. Much better for Bodger and co to be stuck in a windowless room lit only by the constant stream of consciousness flowing from it’s eminent readership.

      I was kinda hoping that they’d also have light from the joss-sticks they’d have to light to cover up the schmell from the chinese takeaway downstairs.

    What exactly do they do (to justify the fancy office space)? I had a quick look at their website and all I could gather is that they regurgitate youtube videos.Great, just what the world needs. Murdoch you say, no thanks!

      Dude, are you talking about Storyful or Broadsheet?

    I don’t think I saw one woman in those pics.. even the receptionist is a man.
    Is it a gay club or something?

    Just reading through your “Previously” link. That one Soundings in the comments section reads like a total News Corp plant.

    Someone forgot to put in ceilings.

    Also, the real question about how cool a place it is to work is, what’s in the vending machine, and is it free?
