Don’t open office in London,is one of the more stressful city in Europe,Dublin is much better and of course corporation tax more lower.

Please ,true voice from Dublin.I work and live in London and it was a tradegy.

Sales for what? #confused

(0.59p a Tweet?)

What about Zurich? As mentioned Google’s Zurich office is by far larger than the one in London..

Forget about Dublin or London. Cork is where they should locate!!! Seriously, the tax rate issue is misleading. When do you think Twitter is going to make a profit!! A good 5 years plus. While it will need some presence in the majour cities, an Irish base would be great for staff, tech (think Amazon AWS) and backoffice. That said, the lack of a direct air link between Dublin and the west coast might be an issue. Also, the IDA’s eye is off the ball now because of the General Election.

Lucky are those who will be hired.

Why oh why does Mike want Twitter in London so badly?

cool they’re looking for an expert sponsored tweet seller…

Thats the thing that first came to my mind as well? what is it that they sell any way? Adds?

Zurich sucks. When people open their mouths, you begin to realize they all suffer from a horrible throat condition… Somebody develop a medicine for that, please.

My guess is, they will set up shop in Rolle, Switzerland. Nice tax incentives, beautiful countryside, stable country, great quality of life.

Twitter London isn’t news. Twitter Bombay will be. Q4.

p.s.
call it what you will, Bombay sounds better than Mumbai any day of the week.
don’t get me started on Burma… apparently, like the rest of history, it is long and complicated.

Dublin also has all major advertising agents, highly skilled workforce, good transport, cheap high spec housing, convention centres, in 2005 the economist intellegence unit ranked Ireland no.1 for quality of life compared to UK @29. Times have changed in Ireland but largely for the better for an inward investing multinational. But of course it’s all about the tax rate. Have you ever been to Dublin Mr.Butcher?

Yes. Many times.

Of course! Cork! (Facepalm).

But zero agencies to sell ads to.

may be missing biggest point which is tax. May have a large office in UK but have central management in Switzerland or Lux for tax reasons.

London? Dublin? Pshaw!! If you want great living, low taxes, workforce superior to that of England or Ireland, you’ve got to open your office in Warsaw or Prague.

You will never see a post: Twitter hire sales people in China. Why? Because in China, you can’t access Twitter at all! But Groupon.com can enter the China. Why? It’s just business not any real time news. Anyone wants to do Groupon business? I have a friend create a Groupon Clone only sell for $299, if anyone interested please check http://www.joomabc.com

It looks like only two roles are for UK? The account exec and acc manager? The other 3 listed look like they’re in SF?

Saying it’ll be in “London” isn’t very useful considering the size of it.

For starters, they could go somewhere in zone 6 which would be a fair old slog outside of the city. However even if you consider it to (more realistically) be zone 1 or 2, that could still mean a commute of 40-50 minutes if you happen to live on the other side of the city.

As an example, commuting from Richmond to Farringdon (where last.fm are) would take you 56 minutes whereas commuting from Richmond to Victoria (where Google are) would only take you 26 minutes.

What is Twitter?
A) Link Sharing
B) Social Link Sharing
C) Link Sharing with Friends
D) All the above & recently came out from Microblogging.

European HQ (ie for tax purposes, perhaps data protection), does not have to be the sales hub – is unlikely to be.

good to hear abt twiiter also expanding there services through out the world… hope it will give competion to facebook///

Multinational tech companies don’t locate in Ireland due to low corporate tax rates. If that were the case then every company would have a brassplate headquarters in Zug in Switzerland (admittedly there are loads there!) Google just bought another building beside their existing one for $100M last week and are supposedly planning on developing another 2 larger ones in the same area. I don’t think they need that many accountants to tot up cash for the low tax rate.

Instead they locate in Ireland because actual work can be done in Ireland with the highly educated workforce etc. etc. but also because Ireland’s relatively straightforward corporate tax system allows for profits from other countries to be repatriated to Ireland. Other countries in the EU have much more complex tax systems which hamstring companies out of certain types of activities but also allow much more creative accounting to take place. Take France for example with it’s 33.3% headline corporate tax rate, but 1/3 of French companies paid 0% last year.

Seriously, I’m actually not bothered. It makes sense from a sales perspective but in practice I think they will do what Google and Facebook do – one in Dublin one in London.

Btw, Yahoo went to Rolle, too.

“though largely for the low corporation tax there.”

Yes, but also the well educated, hard-working, English speaking workforce. Please don’t make patronising assumptions.

@Ciara, @D Malone, get over the nationalistic hubris. That ended in September 2008. Google, Facebook, Intel, HP, Apple etc. None would be in Ireland to the extent they are without low corporation tax. And if I’m Twitter and I read Vanity Fair or any other piece of economic analysis over the past couple of years I’m not sure I go near Ireland. Its “hard working” workforce weren’t educated enough to avoid an epic recession, and will have to work even harder to pay off that negative equity.

Well James, maybe there is great living, low taxes and a far more superior workforce to that of England or Ireland but I think you are missing the crucial point that the workforce is ENGLISH speaking (regardless if people of Warsaw/ Prague are fluent) and also the cultural disposition of Twitter would be far more aligned to that of England and Ireland then Warsaw or Prague…
Also Twitter, like many of the other tech companies, will invest and commit to Countries that they know more about in terms of Political system, corruptions etc knowledge that you cannot read up on but can get from other companies that have already penetrated the country of choice….

Zurich is a fantastic city that manages to carry an international flair while remaining comparatively small in size. Most people there speak english pretty well.
Saying that a language or dialect sounds like a throat disease isn’t nice or witty.
It’s also would work for many english dialects as well, including some often heard in London and Dublin.

Despite the name I’m actually English, so won’t be getting nationalistic in Dublin anytime soon, or at least not till we play Ireland in the 6 Nations. I’d never deny the attractions of the tax system, but that simply can’t be the only reason, otherwise they’d be based in the Bahamas. If you read this week’s Economist there’s a very balanced, pragmatic piece on the situation in Ireland, which covers many of these points.

And could you please point out a Western country that was clever enough to avoid a recession?
