You’re reading Signal v. Noise, a publication about the web by Basecamp since 1999. Happy !

on 16 Aug 10I always laugh when I see pictures of tech companies (especially “virtual” ones) having face-to-face meet ups—everyone sitting around on their phones instead of actually talking to each other. ;) Of the ten or eleven people visible in that picture, at least five or six are intent on a mobile device or laptop.
(Full disclosure: this often happens when we meet at the Mashable offices, too—so I’m totally not above this behavior.)

on 16 Aug 10It feels weird not being there with you all. Hope you have a great meetup.

on 16 Aug 10Good thing everyone got together to look at their iPhones :)

on 16 Aug 10Most of the people using their phones were adding the code to our office door to their contact info so they could get in and out easily. Our face to face time is pretty cherished in reality, so we don’t spend a lot of time mobilizing.

2000 – # of hours I’ve spent reading this blog
..........
PRICELESS – Company who wrote REWORK has unproductive meetings.

on 17 Aug 10“lot of time mobilizing”
Boo to this. Boo. Boo!

on 17 Aug 10Considering Sarah a friend as I do (and, I believe, she feels the same way toward me), I think I can safely say that Sarah can handle herself.
Congratulations, Jason … and All The Best,

on 17 Aug 10Yes, I’m the only female at 37signals. Usually I’m the only one who wears a dress to work.
(Usually.)

on 17 Aug 10Big office space, meetings (or “meetups”), more people – it’s just not the same 37s.
In next few years they will change from “local shop” to “Wal-Mart”. So obvious and natural.
Anyway, congratulations!

on 19 Aug 10I think there should be “no texting” around the friend zone. Seems like at least 3 or 4 people are looking at their phones.
