Over 3,000,000 people around the
world use 37signals products to get work done the simple way. 37signals' blog, Signal vs. Noise, is read by over 100,000 people a day. Their self-published book, "Getting Real", sold over 40,000 copies in PDF format and thousands more in paperback. The next book, "Rework", published by Crown, will be out on March 9, 2010. Jason believes there's real value and beauty in the basics. Elegance, respect for people's desire to simply get stuff done, and honest ease of use are the hallmarks of 37signals products.
