Yahoo!: What does fast mean?
When I worked at Yahoo! during the bubble burst of 2002/3, there was much made of the outward positioning of the company as an innovator. Privately, however, key personnel would declare that, while Yahoo! was crammed with innovation (blah, blah… but defensible then), it was just as valuable to be a fast follower.
I agree.
So when I read this story over on ClickZ just now I had to go to dictionary.com and check out the definition of ‘fast’. Turns out ‘fast’ can also mean “…held or caught firmly, so as to be unable to escape or be extricated.”
I wonder if that’s what they meant… It’s certainly how they’ve looked to me this past year or two.
