  1. @msinia @thomasfuchs Working on breaking down the stats!
  2. @thomasfuchs That's a good idea. We should be able to trace all that.
  3. @msinia Well, we also have designers, supporters, and a few others (office manager). Total is 33 people w/ Jason + me.
  4. @msinia We have 6 people working in operations: basecamp.com/uptime
  5. @lucho870601 You gotta support your local economy one way or the other!
  6. @BrandonWatson You could look at, you know, how much money a company makes and expects to make. I know, kinda crazy!
  7. We have 8 programmers working at 37signals. That feels like a good number. So does not being in the WE'RE HIRING!!! tech chorus.
  8. @BrandonWatson You're basing your "true valuation" off other valuations. Not intrinsic value (biz fundamentals). Uninteresting exercise imo.
  9. @sriramk I think it's a shit sandwich of epic proportions.
  10. @pdcawley Yeah, the market surely works best when companies treat their investors as suckers not participants. TAKE THE MONEY & RUN!
  11. One valley IPO still holding up is LinkedIn. Still trading at close to double IPO price, but that's a steal for a 609 p/e stock! #not
  12. @pdcawley Yeah, the Facebook idea definitely worked out for them and shit for their investors. Fuck those pension funds!
  13. @vivekian NASDAQ is down 0.5%. So not that brutal.
  14. Since IPO pops, Facebook has lost ~$50 billion (1/2) and Groupon ~$15 billion (3/4) in market cap. Aren't you sorry you missed getting in?
  15. @jm It's not deflated nearly enough to be in touch with reality yet.
  16. Another brutal day for bubble stocks: $GRPN dipped into ~$8 (down 8% today alone), $FB now in ~$26 (down another 4% today).
  17. @michaelboutros Ha, fuck no. What I have can hardly be called a CS degree (even if it's in the title).
  18. @claeseiken can't wait!
  19. @billmcneely As I'm sure the US backing of the Sha, the Iran-Contra scandal, the Iraq invasion, are sensitive subjects for Iranians.
