37signals is a web app company. Some of their applications:

basecamp, to manage projects
highrise, to manage contacts
backpack, like a wiki

they use different domains for each application (basecamphq.com, highrisehq.com, etc)

in basecamp, this is the address of a particular comment for a post in a project of my company (acme) https://acme.basecamphq.com/projects/431678/posts/2964581/comments#5854236

if 37signals had chosen to host all the applications under their domain using folders (eg 37signals.com/basecamp/..., how would you design the paths RESTfully?

Um, how about something like

Not quite sure what you're asking, really.

but is it RESTful?

You didn't ask that to begin with.Whether it is RESTful is subjective, I guess, given that REST is an architecture rather than a protocol.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer#RESTful_web_services
