Does anyone else find 37signals competitor comparison dishonest/disingenuous?
For example, when 37signals compares Breeze to Google Group [1], Google Group steps #3-6 are all the same "step" but 37signals breaks it out to multiple artificial steps to give the illusion there's more work in the sign-up process for Google Groups (when there's not).
What 37signals did was make each form field on the same sign-up page into multiple "steps".
If this same logic was applied to 37signals Breeze sign-up process, then their process would in fact be nearly 10 steps as well since a "step" is required to input your List Name, another "step" for credit card info, etc.
This seems a bit shady ... just saying.

- sktrdie 14y agoAbsolutely. Also I usually have to get up and search in my pocket for my credit card, and then type it in. Time wise that counts for at least 3-4 steps on basecamp's "timescale". Only companies with really good reputation can pull off such a simple product and make some money out of it - and I'm not even sure they'll be successful at it.
