Jason,

Cool write up. I was reflecting on this ... you probably don't even need the

require 'exceptional'

line ... since you're loading Rails, if you have the plugin installed, you'll have access to everything the gem provides.

Great, objective writeup, Dennis. Thanks for the link to Exceptional, even if it's a sidenote.

We're obsessed with keeping things simple and your comments are definitely a reality check.

If you'd like to give Exceptional a spin, don't hesitate to get in touch.

@John Kennedy Was thinking that over the weekend. I think facebook are a bit more strict on the usage of their API. Probably worth a punt though!

Nice write up. The emotional response we've gotten from people using Qwitter has been amazing for an app that we made just because we could. I compare it to a scary movie — it's certainly an emotional journey, and it's definitely not for everyone!

@Mark — We actually have whitelist API status ... You'd be suprised by the number of concurrent requests + polltimes we achieve! There are still a few bugs in the system, but your numbers are way off.

Deadly news. We really are in a powerful position, with Google, Amazon, eBay/Paypal and now Facebook. So much potential for community building.
