WhatsUpInRuby.com - Following the Conversation

What's up with Ruby is the first of a series of niche sites that gives you insight into the conversations going on within a specific context, and then takes you to where those conversations are taking place. They find the best sources, filter out the noise, tell you what's going on, and send you on your way. If you're curious about a certain topic go ahead and search for it. What's up in Ruby follows hundreds of Ruby and Ruby-related blogs to deliver you the latest in conversation from the Ruby world. No longer do you have to spend countless hours reading blogs and RSS feeds to keep up with the latest, they do that for you. Updated every four hours, what’s up in Ruby keeps you in the conversation. Today's search engines index the entire web. When you go to a search engine and type in a keyword you get billions of results. Results are ordered based on how many people are linking to those sources, the quality of those incoming links, and much more. Smaller niche sites with lower traffic get buried. That's a problem. It is those niche sites that have more value than some of the larger sites that may have an article or two on a popular subject.

“As online conversations grow we need a way to filter the noise, get to the heart of a subject, and find out what is really going on. We need to identify emerging trends and measure them over time. This new way of searching starts today. Try us out. It's just the beginning.”

Keeping up with anything in technology takes massive amounts of time and effort. With more people generating more content the fire hose of information from which we drink is quickly turning into a leaky dam ready to crumble. What's up in Ruby holds back the flood and keeps you informed.

How many other sites are competing for the same pool of people? How will the site advertise itself?
