Some interesting mentions in the "50 Most Innovative Companies" Fast Company cover story.
Yea, Facebook, Google and Apple (among others) are all innovative and interesting companies, but the ones on the list that stood out to me weren't because of who they were, but because of what's described in the Fast Company writeup.
- Walmart and it's sustainability initiatives
- Cisco and it's efforts in sports
- Patients Like Me and the idea of social networking your own health care
- Sportvision and technology to measure the effectiveness of MLB players
- Twitter and mention of twitter using Daily Show correspondent (and author of "More Information Than You Require") John Hodgeman
