MyPunchblog

Those that live and breathe Web 2.0 know the guys at 37 Signals write a blog about design and simplicity. It’s called “Signal to Noise” and it’s read by tens of thousands of bleeding edge designers and web programmers every day.

37 Signals is a company that does some neat office productivity apps — including Campfire (groupchat) and Basecamp (project management) — both of which we use at Punchbowl Software. The designers at 37 Signals believe in simple web apps that get the job done rather than over-complicated apps that have lots of features. The “Signal to Noise” blog is about simplicity in design, and they seek submissions from the community at large.

A few months ago, I sent them a screenshot of our new theme picker. I didn’t hear anything back from them, so I assumed it fell into the black hole. But just last week, a few of these bleeding edge folks emailed me to let me know that we had been featured on the 37 Signals blog. I don’t expect tons of traffic on our site as a result of this mention, but it is neat to be featured on the cool kids blog. Here’s a screenshot from the blog post (click on the picture to see the actual blog entry):

Thanks to 37 Signals for including MyPunchbowl — it’s nice to have our design work recognized by people “in the know.”
