What's the story behind the name '37signals'? I understand '42floors' since they are in real estate, but some of these names are just ridiculous.

ever have trouble recalling or typing either of those two?

basically they're branding two digits + a common word. why not.

Personally, I prefer to brand things that make slightly more sense, but to each their own. it works just as well as branding an "io" at the end of something.

it's just about repeating it a few times, until it can be recalled, and once it can it's quick to get to.

"The company is named after the 37 radio telescope signals identified by astronomer Paul Horowitz as potential messages from extraterrestrial intelligence."

Speaking of 37signals. I am looking for a good PM and CRM software. Either a piece of software that does both, or two separate that integrate nicely. Any suggestions?

We are a Web company that handles projects including Web, Film, Photography and design.

We might be developing one in house if we can't find one that meets our needs.
