Congrats: Jason Fried & Jeff Bezos On 37Signals Funding

Hats off to Jason Fried for finding the right investor in Jeff Bezos, for all the right reasons. A few weeks ago when I spoke with Jason regarding all things 37 Signals and learned first hand what made him tick, I was surprised at how laid back he was and non-salesish during our conversation. Fried is extremely set in his ways and for good reason. He's built a highly successful, yet nimble development shop out of a remote workforce and has consistently hit the ball out of the park when with every product he and his team have launched.

On a related note, kudos for Rob Hof at BusinessWeek on actually linking to the 37Signals product lineup (external sites) and not just Business Week stories in the post - Fried would be proud of you as well ;). I'm not sure how many of the major media / news outlets are doing that right now but that's a huge step for a major publication and that deserves a pat on the back. Good job!
