Wow, there's an entire subsection on that page about me.. except, well, it isn't, despite being named as such. Laugh out loud bad, just like Cuil. This is more nefarious than Mahalo. It's spam wrapped up in poorly summarised, chopped up content they have no right to be using.

  Hello Peter, since you have one of the most widely read Ruby sites, I am not surprised that you showed up. Makes sense if you think abut how they implemented this. I agree with your comments.

Wow, yeah. The first section is Merb ... ok. Then there's a ROR subsection of Merb. Um, what? And the first paragraph of the ROR subsection clearly was copied and pasted from some consultancy's "Our decicated RoR developers can create web 2.0 applications using latest Ruby on Rails web services." (Ok, not quite copied and pasted. They managed to work in a typo ("decicated").) And then the paragraph immediately after that doesn't follow at all. It starts: >When he [Brian Mastenbrook] was able to reproduce the glitch at Basecamp, he began to suspect that the flaw was inherent to Ruby on Rails, the popular Web framework used by both websites. Did they do QA before launching this thing?

I find out things I should have known but didn’t. I’ve noticed productivity has slowed in the company since we have had it up for internal testing, as people ask each other about stranger and stranger trivia, or exclaim, “I didn’t know your middle name was Hector?”
