After an increase in the number of neg­a­tive responses to blog entries on Signal vs. Noise, the guys at 37Signals decided to ask their read­ers if they had jumped the shark.

Well, I don’t want to spoil the sur­prise, but a lot of people said yes. I know I did. So what did a com­pany that has cham­pi­oned doing the right thing for cus­tomers and clients do?

They turned off com­ments. Next they’ll take their ball and go home.

37Signals used to be syn­ony­mous with small teams, great web appli­ca­tions, doing less with more and inno­va­tion. Now they’ll be known for not being able to take crit­i­cism. Nice.
