| Mar 1, 2011 at 21:02 | comment | added | user50049 | @Jeff except for the inordinately large number under his name, I never really knew much about Jon until watching Tony The Pony's public debut. I don't think it's inappropriate for SO to provide companies a venue to say "We're doing interesting stuff, this is what we're interested in and who works here" | |
| Mar 1, 2011 at 18:55 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood StaffMod | @michael that's fine for giant topics like "android" that are universally useful to devs, and happen organically. Except now it's a pay-for-play payola scheme and every company in the world will want their piece of the pie, in an artificial "we give you money, you make this work" way. That's simply not what Stack Overflow is about, and never has been. I'm not necessarily opposed to making the employer field more structured (right now there is no employer field just general about me) but pretty violently opposed to everything else listed. | |

| Mar 1, 2011 at 13:43 | comment | added | Michael Pryor Mod | I disagree about not being a support forum for those companies technologies. Besides the obvious that .NET makes up the majority of our questions, we gladly welcomed Google pointing their Android devs at stackoverflow: android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/12/… | |
| Mar 1, 2011 at 13:35 | comment | added | Michael Pryor Mod | Unfortunately the About Me field has zero visibility unless you know the specific user you want to see. For example if I'm looking at a job posting on Careers, there's no way for me to see all of the other people from SO who already work there so I know the caliber of people at the company. | |
