After reviewing our post "Tech's top 10 workspaces" commenter Dweezil complained that our choices were full of "to much modernism bullshit." Commenter Web2PointOhShit tore at everybody:
Six Apart's offices seem pretty ordinary to me. Their meeting space is *tiny*. Googleplex's niceties are all about enticing their workers to stay at work longer — yeah, that's real HAWT!. Valleywag offices look like a dump to me.So, OK, not everybody goes for our taste in brick, exposed ceilings and Googley amenities. Let's find out who's in the minority. Below, vote for your favorites and help us rank tech's 10 best workspaces.

Netflix... but only because *I* want to hold meetings in the Dr. Strangelove conference room...
Milk it! Milk those pageviews!
I wish I'd thought of it.
@Jordan Golson: Hey, you two place nice. Don't make me come back there.
@Jordan Golson: Er, "play" nice. Or I'm putting away all your trains.
Yes, I forgot an o. Maybe instead of creating social cool internet people ratings or whatever the fuck your tech people are doing they can use their arcane magics to conjure up an edit feature that's on a timer.
Also, whatever Microsoft building that was you put on the wrong list. It's better than everything on here but IAC.
I anyone else less than impressed by the modern furniture in the top (even before Tocquigny) photo? It just never really looks comfortable, and that's why I sit in a chair.
Though I suppose it would be hipster-ironic to sit in a chair because it's uncomfortable.
@sample032: I->Is (s/^I/Is/ for the unix geeks)
I still have no idea how "Tocquigny" is supposed to be pronounced. I tried phonetically, but ended up with a sprained tongue.
So, with the exception of Google and maybe Netflix, are ANY of these companies actually profitable?
Jordan - why not go find a cow for your milk... the animal variety ;-)
@eericson: All of them are profitable except for Digg. I don't know about tocquincoyorcqoy or whatever the fuck it's called.
uuummm, excuse me, why isn't ADOBE on the list?
I have wanted to work at the Googleplex ever since they started.
Web2PointOhShit is right. Come on, if you work at any of these places you should expect that to become your life. Of coarse these companies want you to work 24/7. They need to make money and if you are salary even better! So get back to work.
@xint: um, because Adobe actually makes money? Plus, they don't want to hire idiots whose only source of motivation is wannabe-hip furniture.
just visited the UGO Networks offices in the east village, coooooooooooool.
