Doxory?

gugod has decided What's a good lightning talk topic for me to talk on Ruby Kaigi 2008.

Asked 186 days ago

I picked something else

"Those 40 Rails plugins I use for my website X.com". (So that I can promote X.com)

coolworld, Ian, jtu, Yoyo, jesse, Latty, rnayir1

"Learning Perl with Ruby" (Need to funny or people will be boo me off stage.)

Both of them seem kind of asinine - but if you're going to plug X.com, plug it shamelessly and openly, not as part of a talk nominally about something else.

x.com is ephemeral - do things that get them to remember *you* for the *next* big thing...

Any brilliant advice would certainly be appreciated. Shameless advocacy is often good, too.

Maybe something in between... maybe not so plain but not so long, either.

If you make a stupid choice because a website tells you to, it's your own damn fault.
