how meebo got its office space

like a lot of hot start-ups today, Meebo had trouble finding office space.

Meebo (www.meebo.com) just got funded by Sequoia and went from three to six people and had to move out of the founders' living room and into an office.   They had a hard time finding an office so they posted a "anyone know of any good office space in

palo alto

?" on their blog and the landlord of a cool office saw the post and replied.   And Meebo just moved in last week.

This is a really cool anecdote and part of a larger trend in corp blogs.  Companies are using their blog as a tool to help them accomplish more than just marketing -- they are using it to find people, office, and more.   of course, that's what Edgeio has tapped into.
