What's a "stunt title"? You mean they reference Highrise/37signals too much to get attention?
I found their profile page more interesting: http://grabass.ecquire.com/NerdAlert They sound crazy, fun, and crazy smart.
Although, I think the market for wasting time online is bigger than the market for people who want to be productive. Look at all the people who pay money to Tencent and Zynga, compared to 37signals. People want to consume media, not produce :( They should compete against those companies.

I can attest that all of these facts are true. Tal and Paul are great guys - I've had the pleasure of getting to know them over the past 4 months as my cohort mates in GrowLab.
A lot of people will pay for fun, but other people will pay more for productivity crap that works for them, that gets them more wealth (time, money) to have fun.
