Blogs

Hey all,

In the .NET world, there is blogs.msdn.com, in the Mono world, there
is monologue. Is there a gathering place for ruby bloggers to code
about what they are working on or just blog in general? There are
several individual blogs I subscribe to (redhanded, loudthinking,
yombar), but I know I'm missing some. google blog search isn't really
that helpful. If there isn't a central aggragator, can I get some
suggestions about who to watch?

I don't think there is a planet-type site run by anyone in the community
yet (that I know of). I subscribe to a few of my favorite Ruby bloggers
and also to this:

For Rails, we have:

Someone in Japan owns planetruby.org,but doesn't appear to be using it
for anything.

Cheers,

The Internet.

Artima's RubyBuzz aggregates numerous feeds from sites that are self-described as Ruby-related, though from many sites you're just as likely to get a review of Babylon 5 as you will a description of some neat Ruby hack.

Follow this newsgroup/mailing list, see who writes things you find interesting, then go see if they have a Web site.

Try to avoid the herd mentality or you'll miss the avant garde.

The default search is for blogs, and I've heard it's quite excellent
for this purpose.
