Love this idea. Staying in business isn't easy.

The company writing this blog seems to do well though :-)

(In case anyobe wonder: basecamp, formerly known as 37 signals, most known for basecamp project management and ROR framework. )

Even tho this may be a content-marketing play, these guys seem a bit all over the place. They just "dropped" everything else to focus full-time on Basecamp and here we go with another new side business.

"However, because we've released so many products over the years, we've become a bit scattered, a bit diluted. Nobody does their best work when they're spread too thin. We certainly don't. We do our best work when we're all focused on one thing." "Moving forward, we will be a one product company. That product will be Basecamp. Our entire company will rally around Basecamp."

Id say this is more in line with a signalvnoise than a highrise. Not quite a side business.

Maybe, it still is quite a bit of work.

+1 this was also my first reaction.

One story a month though is not so bad - that's my second reaction.

I much prefer the idea of the Bootstrapped, Profitable and Proud series, which seems to be on indefinite hiatus. That being said, it should be interesting.

I hope this is a Cake reference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Distance_(song)

More likely a Rocky reference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_distance_(boxing)
