I’ve almost gotten my whole publications department using Basecamp. What a great production booster.

Thanks!

Congrats!

Congratulations on making life simple :) You guys rock!

So thats what the party was for… you guys rock!

party!

congrats.

basecamp is no longer a tiny app. i mean, you have messages, comments, to-do lists, time tracking, files, milestones, documents/writeboards, and campfire integration. it’s not overkill by any means, but basecamp is definitely no longer the very small app it once was.

1,000,000 users, paid or not, is seriously impressive.

It would be cool to write a blog entry about the progression of Basecamp over the last 3 years.

Hey it’s my birthday too! What a great day to celebrate!

Congrats!

Happy Birthday Basecamp.

Thanks for changing the way we manage projects (not to mention the way we develop them).

Congrats and thanks for a fantastic product. Basecamp has done wonders for our design studio!

We’ve just started to use Basecamp to manage our projects and totally love it, keep up the awesome work!

I think it would also be a good idea if you accepted payments from Paypal, you’d probably get A LOT more users signing up.

Congrats!

Congratulations to you and your customers!

I remember emailing Jason, 3.2 years ago and wondering if 37 Signals (back when they still did client work) could give my company some advice related to our web-based software development for real estate companies.

Jason was good enough to call me, listen to what I was dealing with (old-school Microsoft oriented programmers) and tell me he couldn’t help me as they were not going to be continuing with client work. He also indicated that our whole development environment was based on the wrong set of tools—he was so right! He told me to watch for some developments that they were working on that might be useful.

A few months later, I saw the first iteration of BaseCamp and then the release of the secret behind its development, Ruby on Rails. The boys at 37s deserve a great deal more than kudos for BaseCamp. BaseCamp is the genesis of the most exciting web-based applications still to come. We should all be hoping BaseCamp continues to be the leader in this category.

How many of us are paying customers…just curious :)

Happy Birthday to Basecamp! It’s made my life so much easier!! Easier to manage clients, projects, etc. Some of my clients loved it so much, they started using it internally for their own projects unrelated to ours. Maybe we should have a birthday cake in the kitchen :-)

@carson i use basecamp profesionally . but the free version one. i know a lot of people who do it. and i have to say it s not cheap. actually having a couple of accounts help you separate projects.

My consulting company wouldn’t be as organized nor efficient as it is today without Basecamp, and I’ve had alot of fun programming with the Basecamp API .

Thanks for a great product!

Yeah! Happy Birthday Basecamp.

But, now, I have no Basecamp :( I can’t pay the plan :’(.

Congratz! You guys have given me the inspiration to launch my own hosted service coming up in the next couple of months.

I can only hope it’ll be half as successful as BC. Hard to think I’ve been a paying customer for almost 3 years now! Damn time flies….......

Happy Birthday to u…....May All Users bless U….

My Tivo recorded Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy. Oh joy!

Happy Birthday Basecamp!
