Wikipedia Makes Move to SF
Currently with six full-time employees on staff (whoa), according to the Chronicle, Wikipedia wants to expand its talent base while increasing its presence in developing countries (i.e., Asia), so it's making the move to hedonistic and wonderful San Francisco. Yay.
How exciting. After throwing its junk into garbage bags in its St. Petersburg, Florida HQ (ew), they're sure to find San Francisco the perfect town for finding drunk assholes yammering on about widgets at launch parties, and hipsters nerds saying things like, "old-school" and "that's so gay."
Welcome, Wikipedia! Please invite us to all of your (open-bar) parties.

OMFG a tech company that doesn't want to move to Austin, Texas?
As usual, U-Haul-conomics tell all (rates for 17-footer, 2 or 3 bedroom apt, from the web site):
SF to Austin, Texas: $2493
Austin, Texas to SF: $477
SF to San Antonio, Texas: $2122
San Antonio to SF: $300
San Antonio chosen not because anyone would want to live there, but it's only 60 mi from Austin and thus show the "coolness" premium for Austin itself..
