Upon arrival at their shiny new goldfish bowl offices in Silicon Valley with their pockets bulging with used tenners Bluepulse found that the previous owners (some company called YouTube) hadn’t cleaned the fridge when they left.  Chad Hurley had left a half eaten sandwhich on the shelf which had devolved into something which could take on Geroge Bush in the next presidential elections and Steve Chen’s old desk was finally jemmied open to reveal a library of dirty magazines.  What’s more, when CEO Ben Keighran finally sat down in his big swivel chair, the only real reason the company had taken the offices, he found 3 years worth of Jawed Karim’s old chewing gum stuck on the underside.

The mobile social networking company have reportedly now spent $87 of their funding on a cleaner and have to decide what they want to do with the remaining $5999913. Rumour has it the employees have voted for a coffee machine and a tele in the staff room.
