Maximum Starbucks Density
"I've got 43 Starbucks locations within a five-mile radius of my apartment. First of all, what the fuck? Second of all, and I can't help but to get competitive here, can anyone beat that?" --Justin
We've been trying to write/create original content on the blog, (as opposed to just linking to cool slashdot articles or whatever), but every once in a while you just have to link to something.
Depending on your perspective, this is either totally amazing, totally hysterical, or totally depressing. For Jambo, its totally amazing, because as a matter of fact, Starbucks happens to be our office. What's not to like? 100% WiFi, decent coffee, good music. Instead of one dinky office, Jambo has 4400 (and growing) offices around the country. We have the chance to have random wifi encounters (Jambo Moments!) with customers. We don't have to pay rent for an office. I personally think Starbucks rocks! So I guess ideally, I would live at the corner of 55th and Broadway in NYC - then I would have 165 Jambo offices in my five mile radius. What a hoot.

If Starbucks is Microsoft, startups are The Mud Truck [ http://themudtruck.com ] which has carved out a niche in between the Starbucks on the corner at Astor Place and, well, the other Starbucks on the other corner at Astor Place...
