I am looking in Google Street view at what I believe is Linden Lab's address: 1100 Sansome St. in San Francisco. I'm looking at the intersection of Sansome and Green.

Which building is it?

Is it this one?

There's a link near the top left to see a demo of street view: http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/index.html .

Put 1100 Sansome San Francisco in as the search term.
When it finds it and zooms in there is a box to click on for street view .



Click on that and then drag the avatar to a street that has a blue outline.

They are also on MS's street view thingy too (their pictures are closer to the building and you can see the numbers on the building as the camera passes). It's the building on the corner.

I put in a review of Linden Lab that reads:

From: someone
Second Life is a virtual world created by Linden Reseach, Inc.,, Linden Research is more commonly known by its nickname Linden Lab. Second Life is the brainchild of Philip Rosedale and Cory Ondrejka, among others.

Second Life is the world's best free-form virtual world.

Hi and best wishes to Jeska, Sean, Torley, Philip, Cory, Teeple, Pathfinder, and all the gang at LL.


I gave LL five stars.

you can see these with Google street view too. drag the image and the camera will rotate, allowing you to face doorways,. zoom controls then appear allowing you to get a closer view. LL also has a premises on 945 Battery Street. if you rotate the cam to face that building, you can clearly see the number above the door. I wonder if they acquired that building recently though because it looks pretty shabby and has a big piece of paper marked 'NOTICE' stuck to the door. it looks suspiciously like the notices i've seen stuck to doors of repossessed homes in the UK.

and by the way, if you rotate the camera to face the door of the sansome street building, you can see somebody entering. anybody recognise the guy? can only see the back of him annoyingly.

(google seems to indicate the building above is 1120 Sansome Street but it could be wrong i guess.)

edit: yeah, it's 1100 Sansome. A street sign next to the building says so. and the number is on an embossed sign above the door, only partially visible when you zoom from one of the Google street pics. it's painted in black so is difficult to see unless the sun hits it at the correct angle.

more trivia: Linden Lab's old offices are directly opposite.
