Customized Ruby on Rails search engine

By Ritu

Accessing the full advantage of Google’s efforts on providing better life to web surfers, I have created a Ruby On Rails Search Engine using the Custom Search engine tool by Google.Its in initial stage i will explore and try to put it in some new form later sometime.

It searches in some listed blogs and famous sites on ruby and ruby on rails.Currently the list includes …

weblog.rubyonrails.org
wiki.rubyonrails.com
rituonrails.wordpress.com
webonrails.wordpress.com
fromdelhi.com
vinsol.com
rubyonrails.org
ajaxonrails.wordpress.com
del.icio.us/
http://www.rubycentral.org
http://www.rubycentral.com
http://www.ruby-lang.org
http://www.rubyonrails.com
nubyonrails.com
rubyforge.org
sitekreator.com/satishtalim/index.html
dec.orat.in/
den1jay.blogs.assembla.com/

If you are a ROR developer and have a blog that can be included in the list please feel free to contribute to this search engine. Although the contribution is open to all right now but i have to block it in some time if somebody try to use it in “a not so appropiate way “.As google still havnt given any way to moderate the list of contributions. I just hope Google will listen to our cries soon and respond to it

Till then Happy Googling for rails

Online Forms By Wufoo (Beta)

By Ritu

Wufoo is a web-based tool to help you build and host amazing online forms. In only a few minutes, you can create a mailing list, survey, or even a customer management system.

For now in the beta version of Wufoo, Beta Accounts can create 10 forms, use 25MB of disk space for file upload, utilize all field types in their forms, and collect an unlimited amount of entries. If you need more, let us know and we’ll work something out. For those worried about what’s going to happen to your stuff when Wufoo goes live, don’t worry. They will not delete any of your forms or entries (you’ll always get to keep what you collected and used during beta), but you will lose the ability to create some forms and be limited by the features of the plan you settle on. So, for example, if you decide that you just want to use the free plan after beta, you won’t be allowed to use file upload anymore.

I think its very usefule for Indian Organisations which doesnt have any chance yet to host their sites online and needs window form submission.
