I love this idea. I'm always curious about which technologies web applications that I come across in the wild are using.
I just hope they improve their algorithms a bit. For example, they weren't able to tell me that Cork'd uses Ruby on Rails.
I'll be keeping an eye on them.
Hi Matt,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback, the reason it can't find out your site is using rubyonrails is because there's no identifiers for it. RoR can only be detected by _session_id as a session key which I think might be the default setup for it, or if you use mongrel.
I may be looking at providing a feature to allow site owners to identify themselves and update the details of a page although this doesn't really help for lookups.
Thanks for blogging about it
