Every year we have a company party at AddThis called the Carlos Classic. This year Dullah hosted the party and it was pretty sweet hanging with everyone. I couldn’t stay that long because I pathetically hurt my back playing volleyball Friday evening. Here’s the gang tasting some of the roasted pig.
We just did a big release today. After 6 months, we’ve released a product called “Smart Layers”. Check out the new AddThis homepage.
While over the past few years, some people have started shifting over to a standing desk versus a sitting desk, a select few have opted to ditch their desks all together. Meetup CEO Scott Heiferman is one.
Heiferman doesn’t have a desk or a traditional private office. He works on his laptop or iPad in any available spot in the Meetup headquarters – a temporarily empty seat of another employee, or in the lounge area. He also spends a lot of time in meetings.
The one challenge about forgoing a desk is receiving any mail or messages, Heiferman’s team says. At one point, the staff arranged to have a cart for his mail that would follow him around the office, but that didn’t last. –Business Insider
I can agree with this. I like the idea of a nomadic CEO. Reminds me of some folks like Hooman and Fahad. There are huge benefits to this approach. CEO’s can have a more intimate pulse of what’s happening at ground level. I see Ramsey, our CEO at AddThis, doing this in the VA office as well. Thumbs up.

Pretty epic battle between the CEO and lead engineers.
We just got some summer towels as a part of celebrating our 1 year anniversary since the AddThis rebrand. Here’s a photo of our data team putting them to use.
