Who doesn’t love Fridays, it’s the end of the week, and time to kick back and relax. Finishing our 2007 roundup of blogs is our Happy Hour series, where we write about the funny, unusually and often offbeat stories.

HouseFront changes name to MoonFront

Following a slew of press releases regarding competitions to get to the moon, we decided it was only right to look towards the future of real estate and change our name.

HouseFront Acquires Facebook

In a move that stunned many, we at HouseFront decided that Facebook looked like a great investment. To see all the details of the acquisition check out our blog post.

The New Cubicle

You’ve all heard the rumors about the new age web 2.0 style offices, well I’m here to tell you HouseFront is no different. Just as our company innovated real estate search with our mobile text messaging service (text any address to ‘HOUSE’ or 46873), we are out innovating the office environment. Our first change was to get rid of all cubicles and create an open, friendly environment. Read our post on The New Cubicle to see exactly how we are changing the way our people work.

Better than Sliced Bread

While browsing the Internet I ran across this little gem of a company. They will/are totally revolutionizing the theme park experience. Instead of standing in line for three hours, you can simply use your cell phone and text message yourself into a virtual line. Brilliant, I know. The only problem…it’s only in the UK right now. I’ve got my fingers crossed that they’ll soon make it across the pond to a theme park near me.

Tanks, Tanks-A-Lot

What do you normally do at a company fun day, go to a park, have a potluck, maybe play paintball if you’re lucky? Well the folks over in the UK (yeah again the Brits get all the good stuff) get to drive over cars in a 56-ton military tank. If you’re looking for a fun weekend or company outing one company Tanks-A-Lot offers packages allowing regular civilians the opportunity to drive an assortment of different military vehicles. Nothing says teamwork like crushing metal beneath your tanks treads.

Don’t forget to check back at the end of every week for some other weird, funny or unusually story to kick back and relax with, in HouseFront’s Happy Hour Blog.
