This is a turn off.
I just wanted to read an article that showed up on Friend Feed, that was all, didn’t want to take a survey, and just wanted to read the article. Everyone wondered what would happen when Fast Company got hold of Roberts’s site, and this is definitely a down side issue.
I understand marketing, I understand why someone would want to do this, but I usually boycott sites that do this popup survey stuff. People honestly wondered if he sold out. With the appearance of the “survey” well maybe, this might be truer. The question is going to be with Fast Company doing layoff’s will their control of the web site be more intrusive as economic conditions falter, or will Robert take back the site, and ask that surveys and other crap just not be used.
