  1. Comment - Twitter developer hints it may not be hot on Ruby on Rails after all

    (May 31, 2008 - 2:13 PM)

    I find the obsession with Twitter as a proxy for the success of Rails to be rather bizarre. Take a look at YellowPages.com -- a RoR site doing something like 200 million page views a month. Or the Friends for Sale Facebook app, doing more than 300 million page views a month using RoR. The health of RoR is proven by the hundreds of significant sites running it. Twitter is an oddity, well out of the RoR sweet-spot.
