Clickable link to the startup I'm discussing in this blog post: http://www.visualwebsiteoptimizer.com

For my full opinions, see the blog post. I think most HNers would be better served by the best A/B testing library available for your platform of choice, but if your Aunt Cindy runs a business with a website, then Visual Website Optimizer will let her A/B test it without having to spend a few years in learning to speak geek first.

hmm I've seen that design somewhere before... Oh yeah: http://basecamphq.com . At least they uploaded the background images to their own server and didn't direct link them

What do you think is the best A/B testing for rails?

The wholesale ripoff of the Basecamp UI is just unforgivable. I can't believe they thought they'd get away with that.

It does say "Design inspiration: Basecamp" at the bottom, but at this point, is not called inspiration anymore. When you actually use the exact images used in the original, it's definitely either "ripoff" or "theft".
