Livetribune to be launched at the beginning of October 2007

Wondering what's livetribune? Heard somewhere about it on the Internet?
Well Livetribune is a revolutionary web site that will allow people to share opinions about open issues in a new effective way. Livetribune is the very first site that will allow you to get the big picture at real time about people opinions even if lots of people are participating to the debate. But more importantly, Livetribune is totally fair, there is absolutely no spinning under the cover. We aim to be as fair and independent as Google is when providing you search results and that's why Livetribune also uses some of of the concepts Google uses in its search engine (Markov chains).

Are you some web developper? So keep in touch cause we will also deal a bit about the Livetribune implementation secrets in this blog. Indeed Livetribune has only be made possible by the emergence of new programming technologies allowing to rapidly build both effective and sexy web2.0 applications. Livetribune is indeed built on Ruby on Rails using also a bunch of AJAX goodies. Our client side rendering also features JSViz, a new Graph DHTML library. But Livetribune would never have been fast enough if it were all pure Ruby on the server side. It would also never have been achieved using native extensions either. That's why Livetribune is actually the very first public website built on the top of JRuby on Rails.

But before entering to that new area, you'll have to be patient. I, the main developper will now catch a few waves in Portugal before finishing Livetribune. So currently, livetribune.com is only a preview. So be patient and keep in touch cause October is going to be hot.
