Some friends and I did a twitter thing where we catch tweets with curse words and put them on twittertale.com. Its kind of funny. The backend twitter side is xmpp4r and xmpp4r-simple straight up ruby. And the web side is fresh rails 2.0 happiness.

On a side note, if you are doing ruby sans rails with mysql gem, you need to take care of the character encoding on the connection, which you can do by sending SET NAMES UTF8; after connect or I guess by setting the default on connection settings in my.cnf
