New Rails Site: Wordie

My latest stupid web trick, built, with love, in Rails:

Make lists of words. See who else likes the same words. Basically, it's a dating site. Built on thanksgiving while half-watching football and launched yesterday. In other words, half-baked, but I thought some of you might find it mildly amusing.

Exqueeze me? I thought you get that from A> including prototype.js, and

sticking a timestamp on it.

Or is the timestamp based on Ruby's unique Epoch or something? :wink:
