I created a ripple account ... what next? (how do I start?) I have a ripple client set up, but I can't do anything useful such as viewing the order book etc.  Since the site is in beta, BTC and other currencies are not supported... only ripples.

Basically I know I need to give people my address of rPZhwqx7kQdssJD6i3cnEpd9kQ1Tofzjkx to get ripples, but I don't know who to contact or how to get started.

The teaser website and hype around the Ripple technology hasn't gotten me to pour over every detail of the Ripple wiki, so please forgive me if I missed it.

So how do I get started?
