Fast Company sounds attractive

The self description of Fast Company is quite attractive. Straight to business.

First off, here’s what it’s not: It’s not a pure social network. . . . You go to Facebook or MySpace and find the friends and co-workers you already know. The real world gets reproduced virtually. Maybe you meet a friend of a friend.

We’re not that.

We’re an entirely new community of people brought together because we want to share ideas about business. We like business. We think it’s important. Work gives more meaning to our lives. We believe business profoundly helps define our culture.

Two very big problems

  1. Google. Every time I think of joining into a conversation online I can't because I know GOOG is going to index it and when I apply to co-op jobs everyone will get to read all about it. If I can't be openly critical, half the attractiveness fades quickly.
  2. My Employer. Whoever that may be. Coincidentally this point is also number two in the three taboos of blogging. The topic I'd be most inclined to talk about on Fast Company is mobile software. That's also the topic most forbidden.

Without being critical and talking phones, I can't much contribute.
