It's not hard, but how many people will really spend the time reading about it? In my experience, customers with a non tech background don't care about the details, but rather if it will be better or not. If it will, great. But I agree, it'

Not a groundbreaking idea, but definitely takes the pain out of creating your own framework :)

Does it matter which one it is in the end? If they used the first line, I feel like the customers would be less inclined to upgrade and be averse to the idea of upgrading. "We're the customers, you should make life easier for us." The new b

While, yes, it probably is more convenient for 37signals than it is for the customers, it would be beneficial for the customer going forward. There are a lot of CSS hacks that need to be done for IE6, which makes developing annoying and ted

I agree. They customer base (I think) is mostly small businesses, which have the luxury of upgrading browsers. Any effort to push the web forward (away from old browsers) gets a thumbs up in my book.

If done right, I don't think the API would be hard to add in. The real challenge is making sure that it can scale out to the number of updates and users as twitter has. Making something that looks like twitter isn't that hard.

Personally, I don't think I NEED to be comfortable, as long as I like what I'm doing. But sitting in a cafe with good music never hurts :) (I do wish I had cmos' debugging cat.)

Personally, I disagree. It's more of a form of self defense to prevent ourselves from getting hurt. I feel like a lot of shyness comes from being afraid showing people our true selves and being ridiculed or criticized for it.

Yes, 100-200 is a small company, but do you think they even have that many? For a site that went live in March, I'd be surprised if they had anywhere close to that many employees. I don't think any of those companies would have had that man

I completely agree. Their reason for releasing this isn't to allow people to look into their SWFs, but for the two largest search engines to be able index them. This is an attempt to bump up the number of flash sites because now "not indexa
