One thing this graph can't account for is the quality of submissions. A technology article about 8051 assembly language is a lot different than a technology art

  That's absolutely true. When this is all done I'll make all the data available so that people can mine it for what it is worth. A fair amount of work went in to this little project, not all of it automated (unfortunately), a lot of time went in to making sure the tags would be somewhat relevant. If there would be any major trends that I could not explain by looking at samples of the data I would have certainly investigated. I hope that if there are such trends that I missed that they will come out in the follow up (weighted by votes, see above), if not then the analysis will have to be much more detailed, and that will probably mean a lot more handwork than what went in to making this graph. The 'good news' for me is that there is no unbounded growth of the 'unspecified' category, that would be a fairly large indicator of trouble.

  To me top 10 SEO tips for bloggers is not about technology at all, it's about marketing. This is the category I feel is growing and it makes HN less interesting to me.
