+Ruby blogs have exploded over the past year and, given sufficient
+hunting, you can unearth hundreds of blogs sharing bits of Ruby code,
+describing new techniques, or speculating on Ruby’s future.
+
+### Mining for Ruby Blogs
+
+[**Ruby on del.icio.us**][1]\: Ruby and Rails are consistently one of
+the top fifty tags on del.icio.us, a popular link sharing site. Watch
+the [ruby][1] tag for incoming obscure links and its [popularity
+chart][2] for recent upcomers in the Ruby community.
+
+[**Ruby on Technorati**][3]\: Technorati’s search for *“Ruby”* yields
+the most recent posts across the blogs covered in its index.
+
+**Planets**\: some planets (online specialized feeds agregators) have been
+running for years now. A few of them providing convenient content:
+
+* [Ruby Corner][4]
+* [Planet Ruby][5]
+* [PlanetRubyOnRails.org][6]
+* [PlanetRubyOnRails.com][7]
+* [ruby-blogs][8]
+
+### Blogs of Note
+
+A few notable blogs stand out for the frequency and immediacy of their
+updates.
+
+* [**O’Reilly Ruby**][9] is a group blog with pertinent Ruby tutorials
+  and interviews with interesting folks from around the community.
+* [**Riding Rails**][10] is the official group blog of the Ruby on Rails
+  team. If you are running Rails, this blog is essential for
+  notification of security updates and an overall view of the wide Rails
+  community.
+* [**Ruby Inside**][11] announces interesting applications and libraries
+  from throughout the world, both Ruby and Rails.
+* [**Matz’ Blog**][12] is a Japanese blog written by Ruby’s creator.
+  Even if you can’t read all of it, it’s good to know he’s right there!
+
+### Spreading the Word
+
+If you’ve got a Ruby blog you’ve started, it’s wise to link the blog on
+[del.icio.us][13] with the *ruby* tag. You might also contact the
+weblogs above, if you are covering a topic they’d be interested in.
+(Obviously, if it’s not Rails-related, then the *Riding Rails* crew may
+not be as interested—but you never know.)
+
+Ruby is also a common topic on [Digg][14], [Slashdot][15], [reddit][16],
+and [Hacker News][17], in their respective programming news. If you find
+some brilliant code out there, be sure to let them know!
