Just a quick shout out to the rails community about my new Pick Your  
Own Destiny (or write a new one!) site I put together in rails :  
[http://www.wordfractal.com/](http://www.wordfractal.com/). I’ve recently tried to streamline it a  
bit to make it easier to use…

It’s a pretty straightforward rails app - the more interesting bits  
are in trying to prevent spam from getting in by using the defensio  
and recaptcha plugins. If it does, I can remove it quickly through the  
admin area I set up.

I was hoping some of you might check it out, contribute, or just offer  
some suggestions on making it better. In fact, one question I have is  
regarding authentication - I was figuring I should add OpenId, but  
what about Facebook Connect? Is it an either/or question, both?

Thanks for your time!

Hi Ben,

There’s no reason you can’t support both.
