What did its first-ever office look like, back when it was a tiny startup in a crammed space?

The Huffington Post dug up an old video interview with Mark Zuckerberg from June 2005. The interview took place in the company's first Palo Alto office on a day when Facebook was celebrating its 3 millionth user (now it has has 750 million).

The office was in downtown Palo Alto on Emerson Street. It had 5 or 6 offices, one conference room, and a large common area.

Zuckerberg was interviewed in the designated office "lounge." He was barefoot, sipping a beer.
