It's nice to see builtwith on the HN homepage, thanks for submitting this page Alex. I'm reading through everyone's feedback and will make changes accordingly, thanks everyone for commenting. A few notes and things I will clean up - * The pie charts I admit appear misleading thanks for affirming this, for widgets and technologies they show the leading tool but for document based technologies like CSS/JS they don't look right. 15% of sites aren't using CSS, > 85% are, and I suspect the rest are either dead sites or some other issue. I'll look at swapping to bar graphs which some of you have mentioned might be a good alternative * PHP usage is based on server side implementation so a server might support PHP it doesn't necessarily mean the site is written in PHP * The source of the list is yclist.com from about 3 months ago You can lookup individual sites at http://builtwith.com http://builtwith.com such as http://builtwith.com/lanyrd.com http://builtwith.com/lanyrd.com Thanks again! Gary

I think the pie charts aren't just broken for document based technologies, they are wrong for anything where a user can have more than one of the tools. For example on our site we are using multiple types of advertising (including our own), multiple types of widgets, etc. That being said, very cool that you were able to pull this together - the raw data here is very neat and it would be cool if we could even dive in more and end users could play with it in different charts, etc.

  Thanks I've added a link to a CSV with the domains and technologies found in the run (Which was a few months ago now). http://trends.builtwith.com/Y-Combinator.txt http://trends.builtwith.com/Y-Combinator.txt

Put up a copy of the categories and the technologies in each please. I want to go through and use d3 to make it look prettier and convey more information.
