FC Now's second anniversary is but a week away, and already, about 65 Fast Company readers have responded to our call to action to participate in our annual collaborative blogging project. Volunteers include Resource Center contributors Margaret Heffernan, Tim Manners, and Richard Watson, as well as Web notables John Moore, Ross Mayfield, and Robert Scoble.

Next week Monday, Aug. 8, and Tuesday, Aug. 9, FC team members and readers will once again collaborate to collectively explore the state of business, leadership, and innovation -- and celebrate FC Now's second anniversary. If you'd like to participate, email me to volunteer. We'll be lining up the roster in the weeks to come. (Caveat volunteer: We cannot involve everyone, so please don't be offended if the headcount maxes out.)
