If you're looking to "fake" web services I can recommend webmock, as ashley mentioned, http://github.com/bblimke/webmock, which can replay recorded responses... or... ShamRack, http://github.com/mdub/sham_rack, which allows you to ""mount"" rack apps, so you can then write micro apps to fake out said service if you desire.
