As I said before, the idea is promoting Ruby, I am Ok with other
programming languages, particulary Java, the world I come from. I don't

agree with the "one size fits all" theory.

I am sure not every  blog is a gem, but actually I am surprised by the
quality of many of the blogs that registered since monday, when
RubyCorner launched.

Today there are more than 40 blogs registered and about 60 users, the
firrst day they were only 10.

We hope to provide soon a tagging facilty, allowing people to tag with
labes as "spanish". We are trying hard to promote Ruby and Rails in the
spanish and latin american community, so I hope there will be a lot
more blogs about this topics not written in english ;-)

Thanks!

We hope that people used to feedreaders will discover new valuable
blogs through RubyCorner and add them to their services. We suppose
other people will do fine with their favorites of updated lists at
RubyCorner.

Thanks for you comments, as I said before "any feedback will be
appreciated"
