I’m writing an article about the Rails events of the past year. I have  
all the obvious stuff (1.2 and 2.0 releases, etc.), and I’m looking  
for suggestions about key site launches and so forth.

What are the most notable Rails sites launched in 2007? So far I have  
on my list:

- [yellowpages.com](http://yellowpages.com)
- [twitter.com](http://twitter.com)
- [revolutionhealth.com](http://revolutionhealth.com)
- [highrise.com](http://highrise.com)

What else should be on this list? (highest traffic sites, or most  
significant in some way)

ebay and yahoo both launched some Rails projects, right? What are  
they?

were cnet’s Rails projects (chowhound, etc.) launched before 2007?

As far as significant new (in 2007) Rails-focused hosting companies,  
the only one that comes to mind is Engine Y… Are the others?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Michael,

Don’t miss out BlogBlogs.com.br, the largest Rails site in Brazil and  
with more traffic than both revolutionhealth and highrise. Also, take  
a look at [Joyent.com](http://Joyent.com), a great Rails hosting and overall supporter.

Cheers, Sazima
