Asked a little while back about “coolest startups” using Rails, I  
think it’d have been better had I asked “coolest software.” Besides  
the obvious (37Signals, Typo, Yakima Herald, Odeo, Measure Map, etc.),  
I’m just curious about other developments where people are using it to  
make nifty stuff.

I think [AreYouHiring.com](http://AreYouHiring.com) ([http://www.areyouhiring.com](http://www.areyouhiring.com)) is the coolest.

But I’m really biased. 😉
