why?

I think it'd be kind of annoying if you post a job request and all you get is commentary on your company :)



I'd mind less if the job requests weren't mixed in with everything else. Put job postings over to the right there or something if they're "non interactive" adverts.

Surely it'd be nice to be able to ask the company some questions though? Like "Do you have a wii console?" "Do any hot girls work there?" etc


Or more importantly, what's your plan for profit? Do you make any? Do you ever plan on making any? Will I be boxing up my stuff in 6 months? Why take founder risks with drone pay?


I have to admit the first thing I thought when I saw that scribd advert was to post a comment expressing my opinion on scribd :>


heh ok, ok same here...

To be honest, I'm surprised they didn't take the text

"Scribd is on pace for 70M uniques this month with just 5 Rails developers. Come join us!", and wrap it in a 250Kb flash file, and 'stream' it over to the front page.


Heh.

Irrespective of their project -- the devs are great guys (or the ones I've conversed with) I'd love to work there.


If they have good pirated content then it could be a PDF streamed over an original Macintosh keyboard cord attached to a rusty can for all I care.


I've posted jobs here and would love to have comments turned on. People could ask questions that might be interesting to other folks on the site.

If people posted commentary on the company, I imagine they'd be downvoted if it wasn't interesting. ;-)
