PRESS RELEASE: 37SIGNALS VALUATION TOPS $100 BILLION AFTER BOLD VC INVESTMENT
“37signals is now a $100 billion dollar company, according to a group of investors who have agreed to purchase 0.000000001% of the company in exchange for $1.”
If its a true improvement over the 37Signals suite I will immediately transition over.

One of the guys in DreamIt has a Wave account. My thoughts:
- This is an incredible collaboration platform for teams.
- No way will this replace email or other existing forms of communication.
- The federated platform nature of it will make companies much more comfortable. You can store your sensitive documents on your own servers, not Google’s.
- The robots concept is neat, but not much more intuitive than IRC bots.
- It’s buggy as hell.
The people who should be worried the most is the 37Signals team. This has the potential to be a fantastic improvement over Basecamp, Campfire, Backpack, Highrise. It’s real-time collaboration, version controlled like a wiki, great support for multimedia with smooth drag and drop.
If you don’t use IRC or 37Signals-style group productivity software, move on, there’s nothing to see here.
