FastCompany.com Site Acts Like Porn Site

fastcompany.jpgThis is a comment that I tried to leave at fastcompany.com, but couldn’t because I am not allowed to post comments. It would have been a comment below a blog entry about how Corel has started a new service called Virtual Garage. It is an endeavor to give voice to those who have a good idea for Corel, but with no place to share it, and no one who will listen.

While on their site, I was continually bombarded with a pop-up window asking me to take a survey. I said no, and then I said no again and again and again.

So, I thought I would post it to my blog.

Here is some user-experience for fastcompany.com. Please, please remove that exceedingly annoying pop-up that asks me to fill out a survey. I was trying to watch the slideshow about Wal-Mart and their new sustainability initiatives, and I had to kill that window at least 4 or 5 times. How many times do I have to say no. No means no.

Great site though. It seems to be very forward looking and in-touch with tomorrows leaders. You really seem to have a moistened finger extended in search of wind direction… Why then are you using porn site tactics?

Keep up the good work, but keep your content in the one window I opened on purpose!
