It is easier to type a site name than it is to type out a regular expression, and although I don't need to access the hash directly yet, well, you nevva know.

In my case I wanted users to be able to embed videos in their comments, but they have no access to html, so I instead created this generic markup like (youtube:link) to accomplish the same ends. I figured allowing them the option of using real HTML code would be too risky. I don't know for sure whether or not there are malicious uses for but I imagined so. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
