Holy smokes, are you sitting down for this one? Are you sure? Because: SF Chronicle is renting out space to tech companies. Did we just blow your damn mind? Didn't think so. Since it's not really news. But, in an exhaustive article, SF Chron notes that "[t]hree technology companies have agreed to lease the lower floors of The Chronicle building, the first steps in a broader plan to create what the developers and city are portraying as an 'innovation incubation hub' in the Mid-Market district."

So, yeah, there you have it. The only interesting thing about this story is that Square, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey side project, that lets you swipes debit/credit cards on your smart phone, will be using the Chron digs.

On a positive note, at least there will be some innovation in that building. (Oh, we kid. Sort of.)
