Now that is great rebranding.

All it needs now is 'try Racket in your browser' and a video of some dude making a blog in 15 minutes using Racket. Then it will be the new hotness.

You're using it now. Arc was built on top of PLT and news.arc ships with it. So,you are using the killer app / example that you are looking for right now.

Not quite a video, and I think it will take a bit longer than 15 minutes, but here's their tutorial on making a blog.

Almost, you need a twitter client these days, blogs are passe.

What good is a language if you can't make yet another twitter client in 15 minutes.
