On September 8th and 9th, over 100 teams of between 1 and 4 programmers and designers got together to compete in a 48 hour programming competition called the Rails Rumble. The idea was to create the best web application possible in just 48 hours, start to finish....
The Winners
- First place - TastyPlanner
- A rather simple recipe sharing site. - Second place - Checkbook - An online checking account management app. I thought this one might win.
- Third place - Admiteer - Event management and ticket sales. Something like Eventbrite.
Rails Rumble also had a number of category winners.
- Appearance - Elf List - Online gift list registry.

- Most Complete - Invent-A-Story - Collaborative story writing, one sentence at a time.
