MeasureMap just got bought out by Google. I believe that's the first Ruby on Rails application to be picked up in a Web 2.0'ish buyout. And it didn't even have to launch, take that Yahoo! Speaking of, I'm now having a sale of futures in ideas for apps that I haven't even thought of. Who's bidding?

No seriously, congratulations to the MeasureMap team, which includes Rails core member Nicholas Seckar and always interesting Jeffrey Veen. I've been in on the beta for a while and there's definitely some interesting ideas and thoughts going on there. Statistics that goes beyond the numbers^TM. Mighty nice.

Now let's see some Getting Real and a launch!
