Looks great, really nice. Minor point, I have a feeling (and can't find evidence to the contrary) that Twitter's stack is actually Java, not Ruby [1]. They may have changed back since then, but I can't find anything about it. Maybe I'm totally off though, and other parts of their stack are rails. I don't know - I'm not really a webdev guy...
[EDIT] - any reason for the downvote? I'm totally fine with being wrong, or have I just completely missed something?
The reason I brought it up was because when you select Ruby, one of the motivational messages opens with, "Twitter uses Ruby to power 400M incredible tweets every day."

- jitl 14y agoTwitter runs a whole range of different technologies, as you can see from their Github page [1]. Much of their performance-sensitive code is Scala, but they also run Python, Ruby, C, and Javascript tools. Their front-end, however, remains Ruby. The link you posted is just about search infrastructure. [1]: http://twitter.github.com/ http://twitter.github.com/
