    It’d be nice if you could post http://shareyourstuff.r08.railsrumble.com under educational. I’ll be moving over the database for the main page/etc to be correct after I get some sleep, but it’s definitely an educational app.

    Ok: http://www.feedmatcher.com/

    We had one last-second glitch that got frozen at the deadline (see if you can find it :-/). But otherwise, cool. You can upload your feed list, or not; regardless you get a weighted multi-tag search for feeds of interest. We wrote it and I’ve already found a few feeds I didn’t know about.

    Hi. This is our two-day rails rumble attempt to make rdoc browsing of favorite ruby projects less painful.
    Currently we support gems form both rubyforge and github and public SVN/GIT repositories.
    We’re going to publish RDocker sources after some additional polishing, so you’ll be able to use it locally.

    I was really thinking of our app (CouldYa) as more in the Projects/Tasks section than the Entertainment/Leisure/Social, even though it will eventually have more social features. It is primarily for getting real-world stuff done.

    Hi,

    Just thought you’d want to know that your webpage is broken. All links on your page are infected with a pop-up virus. Whenever I hover over a link a super-annoying pop-up is displayed.
    I hear this is easy to fix so it shouldn’t be a problem.

    regards/j

  69. Melvin Ram | October 26, 2008 at 6:26 pm | Reply

    Jens,

    I just tested it in FireFox, Chrome & IE7 and none of these popped up any ads. The only thing that shows up when you hover over a link is a preview of the webpage you are about to visit. Is that’s what you’re referring to? If not, it could also be possible that your browser has a spyware that is adding the links & popups to random webpages as you visit them.

  70. jens | October 27, 2008 at 6:24 am | Reply

    I am indeed refering to the spot.com page previews. It might be just me but I find them super annoying.

    Anyho, have fun and enjoy life.

    May I just say nice to read a help to search out somebody who essentially understands just what they’re discussing on the internet. You certainly find out how to bring a problem to light and enable it to be valuable. Even more people should read it and understand it aspect of the story. I cannot believe you’re not very popular because you certainly have the gift.
