After launching Rubytu.be a short 8 months ago, it's now indexing over 500 videos, covering almost every topic a Rubyist could need. Thank you to the community for your contributions! I'm also opening up to some advertising. Please feel free to e-mail me, rates are cheap and space is available on the homepage and in the RSS feed!
