Workling
This little library lets you take code outside of your request/response cycle. You can configure how it should be run. Currently,
there is a Spawn runner and a Starling (twitters queue server) runner.
This kind of sidesteps the issue of not knowing which Asynchronous code running method is the best for your rails app. Potentially,
you could swap in any mechanism you like.

Graceful Mailto Obfuscator
gracefully obfuscates emails as described in a list apart: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/gracefulemailobfuscation
calling mail_to(“me@mail.com”, “mail me”) will generate a link with the href /contactto/new/zr+znvy+pbz, and the classname “obfuscated”.
for users who do not have javascript turned on, /contactto/new collects a message which can be submitted to an action which sends the email, without it ever being divulged.
when javascript is turned on, a behaviour converts the obfuscated anchor into a normal mailto: link with the orignal email address. spam bots will now bounce off your site like frustrated popcorn.
