Which blogs do you read and why? I don’t want to miss anyone obvious. This post is also a good way for you to show appreciation to any Ruby developers / companies who’ve had a positive effect on you. Please post the name of the blogger / company, the name of the blog, the URL, the language (English, Japanese etc.) of the blog and why you like the blog. Thanks in advance.

Nice list!
We are a rails company in London and have a blog here: blog.dynamic50.com
Thanks, I was missing some of those in my reader.
OPML list would be very useful.
ELC Technologies is an international Rails company with an excellent blog.
Thanks. Good idea to publish it as an OPML list too.
Hi Satish,
thanks for the inclusion. Could you also include DB2 on Rails (http://db2onrails.com) in there?
Cheers,
Antonio
Giant Robots is actually the company blog of thoughtbot, not my personal blog. Thanks for the link, though!
Thanks, but I’ve got some difficulties to import your opml on some plateforms (netvibes, google reader, …).
I’ve created 3 tabs to centralize this feeds maybe it can help someone :

Satish,
Really appreciate the link. Unfortunately I’m just wrapping up the launch of a new blog that will be more code/development focused and was wondering if you could update my link above with the new address at simplifi.es
– Eldon
Great list…
I had most of them RSS fed… but good to have them altogether…
Thanks!
Will accept the complement bestowed in behalf of the team, Satish! And going through the lists, ourselves to learn more ..
Best.
Alain Yap
Morph Labs
Another two really useful blogs for me:
RailsTips by John Nunemaker – http://railstips.org
A Fresh Cup by Mike Gunderloy – http://afreshcup.com
Did I miss Ryan Bates? http://railscasts.com/ , or did that not qualify?
Nice list. Thanks.
Tim Kadom
Atlanta Ruby User Group (http://atlrug.org)
excellent list
This OPML file is truly invaluable! There’s a lot on here not in my reader (yet). Thanks Satish.
This is awesome
Thanks for your work.
Damn you!
I have a hard enough time keeping up with all my feeds as it is, and now I have more to add…
Would you mind adding OddThesis.org to the list? We’re all about building a JRuby-based solid Ruby/Rails/Rack deployment & runtime environment.
Great efforts! I have some of them. But i will add more now.
Thanks
Nice! Don’t forget about the Heroku Blog, Adam Wiggins, and Giles Bowkett.
Sorry, that’s Giles Bowkett.
This is a great list; a veritable gold mine for a Ruby newbie like me.
But let me pose a question to the readers and those who post here: How many hours (on average) per day, or per week do you spend reading blogs? Which ones do you focus on, and why?
Great list!
We are a rails company (WyeWorks) in Uruguay and our blog (The team’s voice) is http://blog.wyeworks.com.
I have a blog
. Although it isn’t updated all that often. http://blog.zerosum.org #shamelessselfpromotion
