Great, maybe they'll fire their president and COO Jason Hoffman for calling customers "dicks" then cancelling their accounts (for no other reason than the customer voicing displeasure in the forums).

300? How dare you underestimate us!

300 is too much ;) I think 37sigs would be happy with 3. It is less.

Seriously, the Joyent+TextDrive deal doesn't represent anything but a combination of two companies and two great teams that have big ambitions and want to have all the pieces together so that we can achieve our vision. What's the vision? Ah, that's what pops, on the first day...

I've always been impressed by the TextDrive support, community, and CMS hosting. The Joyen acquisition gives me even more confidence in TextDrive.
