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.

Ric Roberts March 12, 2009 at 4:30 pm

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

Did I miss Ryan Bates? http://railscasts.com/ , or did that not qualify? :)

Nice list. Thanks.

This OPML file is truly invaluable! There’s a lot on here not in my reader (yet). Thanks Satish.

Damn you! :) I have a hard enough time keeping up with all my feeds as it is, and now I have more to add…

Bob McWhirter March 20, 2009 at 9:25 pm

Would you mind adding OddThesis.org to the list? We’re all about building a JRuby-based solid Ruby/Rails/Rack deployment & runtime environment.

Reply

Rimpy March 21, 2009 at 5:39 am

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.

Tom April 23, 2009 at 11:18 am

Sorry, that’s Giles Bowkett.

Jeff April 28, 2009 at 8:35 pm

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?

Reply

Santiago Pastorino June 9, 2009 at 4:43 am

Great list!

We are a rails company (WyeWorks) in Uruguay and our blog (The team’s voice) is http://blog.wyeworks.com.
