Earthlik to close SF office: ---- Shares of EarthLink Inc. surged almost 8 percent Tuesday after the Internet service provider said it would cut 900 jobs — or about half its work force — and close four offices in an effort to reduce operating costs. The company will close offices in Orlando, Fla., Knoxville, Tenn., Harrisburg, Penn. and San Francisco. Earthlink also said it will "substantially reduce its presence" in Atlanta and Pasadena, Calif. EarthLink said it expects to save between $25 million and $35 million through the rest of the year due to the restructuring. The company currently employs about 1,900 people. </p> http://sfist.com/2007/08/27/day_around_the_91.php#comment-1183308 http://sfist.com/2007/08/27/day_around_the_91.php#comment-1183308 Comments Mon, 27 Aug 2007 22:32:51 -0800 <p>There was a problem with the overhead MUNI power lines at Van Ness and McAllister today around 7 pm. Both directions of traffic (except buses) were being forced to turn off Van Ness and all trolley coaches were having to dewire and slowly glide down Van Ness past the trouble spot.</p>
