This is a dollar bill taped to the floor of FriendFeed's headquarters. It's a bit of social engineering. They figured out it kept people from tripping on the cord cover because people noticed the money on the floor. - Robert Scoble

Hahaha, now that is brilliant stuff. Awesome. - James Mowery from twhirl

This is a fantastic idea. - Jeremy Botter

Wouldn't last long in my office. - Ralph Whitbeck

Amazing.. think I could use this idea in a few places. - Roberto Bonini

Clever! i love it. - Kurai (ff) from twhirl

Simple, clever, great idea. That FriendFeed crew is a bunch of smart fellers! - Brandon Wood

My employer is too frugal to do that. - Jonathon

Inexpensive risk management. - Dave Pelland

Ha! Very clever. - Brent Newhall

brilliant - mjc

Wow! I'm speechless. - directeur from NoiseRiver

nice - Mike Collett

The dollar bill trick doesn’t work with strippers though ;) - Moved to Facebook

@Earl: Consider it a stripper-filter, then. You know someone's a stripper if they trip over it. - April Buchheit

for some reason i expect a "stripper filter" to be something coded using regular expressions. sad, i know. - Karim

The message here is that Web 2.0 companies are so ignorant of money and revenue that they even step over a dollar on the floor - Jason Carreira from twhirl

Genius!!! - Joe Dawson

Interesting. The photo has been viewed more than 500 times, but has only earned 62 likes and 19 comments. So, for every 1 thing we can see here there's another 9 people hanging out lurking in the shadows. - Robert Scoble

@Scoble the old 90-9-1 rule :) (well almost) - Naor Mark

You could always just superglue some road kill to those things. Nothing gets people's attention more than a dead opossum. - Andrew Leyden

wow, that's funny smart! - Susan Beebe

I stubbed my toe on that dollar. - Michael Muller

Heath And Safety in the UK would not approve....but I do! - Toby Graham

"but has only earned 62 likes". This currently stands as the most-liked Flickr photo of all time. - Vezquex: God of FF

I forgot about that photo. It does work, though. Everytime I visit friendfeed's offices I see the dollar and I'm careful not to trip over it. :-) - Robert Scoble

That's dumb. Why couldn't they afford to run the cord somewhere where it wouldn't be in the way in the first place? - Robert Peña

As an IE I can state that's definitely not something to publicize. Definitely not OSHA Kosher. - Adi

Great idea will have to remember this. - Laura Gonzalez

Reminds me of the deli counter in grocery store in Scotts Valley across the street from NorCal offices of MetaCreations (the Fractal Design arm of it). Local companies'd go there for lunch daily. PROBLEM: Deli counter pencils (for marking your sandwich menu) disappeared at frightful rate. SOLUTION: Deli affixed pencils with price label. Price: $100.00. Pencils stayed at store. :) - Susan A. Kitchens

Haha I like that trick for keeping Pens from going missing Susan! - Garin Kilpatrick
