Big In Japan Releases Source Code
The Big in Japan team is releasing the source code for the suite of Ruby on Rails web services: elfURL, FrankenFeed, FeedVault, InstantFeed, QwikPing and SocialMail.
"Why give away the code? The simple answer is that the company’s efforts are being focused on building and managing social tools for paying clients instead of the free web services developed over the last year. It is too hard to keep a suite of tools relevant if you are not constantly working to improve them. What was hot a year ago may be worthless tomorrow if you are not careful. So instead of letting the tools die a lonely death, the company decided to let them run free. Hopefully each of them will find a new, more relevant home.
Big in Japan will still keep the current tools running so enjoy the code or the service. The option is yours.”
