Serious Business is home of the #1 social game on Facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/friendsforsale/?s=sidenav).

Most recently, our gaming application, Friends for Sale, was featured in San Francisco Chronicle. Click here to read: http://tinyurl.com/yw3m5w.

Tired of people questioning Rails scalability? We're one of the largest Rails clusters in the world and with your help, in the next few months, we intend to make it the world's largest.
