Ruby on Rails author doesn’t like Google’s Web Accelerator

    He doesn’t really say what’s his problem with the accelerator. Is it the fact that it screws up badly designed sites and web apps?

    Naw…his problem is that his company started an ad service (pay per influence) and competes with Google’s pay-per-click. So he’s a little edgy.
