As we've hinted at in a few of our recent posts, we participated in this year's
[Rails Rumble](http://railsrumble.com).  Three teams had thoughtbot team members
on them, and we had another team working in our office.  Since voting has now
started, we encourage you to sign up to vote and check out all the apps.

## [Wheres the Milk At?](http://wheresthemilk.at)

A site that helps you find the cheapest place to buy groceries near you, based
on your past buying habits.

## [Petticoat](http://bootleggers.r08.railsrumble.com/)

Pulls in tweets & tubes based on search terms defined in channels.

## [Jot.ly](http://jotlyapp.com)

Dead simple blogging that sits nicely between micro-blogging and full blogging.

We weren't just participants in the Rails Rumble though, we're also [a
sponsor](http://blog.railsrumble.com/prizes), and we [offered up our Boston
office](http://blog.railsrumble.com/workshare) for any developers in Boston to
use for the weekend.  We provided food and drink throughout the weekend, and by
the end had thoroughly abused the office to the point of desperately needing our
cleaners to come.  Both the Wheres the Milk At team and the Petticoat team
worked in the office, and so did the Flockup.com team.

## [Flockup](http://flockup.com)

Groups for twitter.

Over the course of the weekend we consumed lots of donuts, bagels, pizzas,
Chinese food, and more than a dozen hits of
[cocaine](http://www.drinkcocaine.com/default.php).

We'd really appreciate you checking out all these apps and voting in the [Rails
Rumble](http://railsrumble.com).
