Technorati uses and contributes to open source software. Technorati has an active software developer community, many of them from open-source culture. Sifry is a major open-source advocate, and was a founder of LinuxCare and later of Wi-Fi access point software developer Sputnik. Technorati includes a public developer's wiki, where developers and contributors collaborate, as well as various open APIs.

The site won the SXSW 2006 awards for Best Technical Achievement and also Best of Show. It has also been nominated for a 2006 Webby award for Best Practices.

technocrat

adj; noun;

an elite group of electronic music enthusiasts, who have refined their techno music tastes through concerts and sharing music. Technocrats appreciate mainstream beats and timeless techno classics, but they believe in the evolution of this rhythmic music genre. They avoid stagnant and tired songs and sounds. They believe the envelope is meant to be pushed, not to continuously rehash the same bullshit.

Yes, I am a technocrat. And yes, I thought the Deadmau5 set at EDC 2010 was slow and boring.
