Came across this very interesting site which provide a (free) service that tells you the technologies that is behind any webpage that you happen to surf to.

BuiltWith.com

Something about BuiltWith

BuiltWith is a web site profiler tool. Upon looking up a page, BuiltWith returns all the technologies it can find on the page. BuiltWith’s goal is to help developers, researchers and designers find out what technologies pages are using which may help them to decide what technologies to implement themselves.

BuiltWith technology tracking includes widgets (snap preview), analytics (Google, Nielsen), frameworks (.NET, Java), publishing (WordPress, Blogger), advertising (DoubleClick, AdSense), CDNs (Amazon S3, Limelight), standards (XHTML,RSS), hosting software (Apache, IIS, CentOS, Debian) .

I think it is a very interesting concept and service. It allows webmaster to know what are the techonologies behind the sites which they surf to. Very useful.

Also, the service seems to be very new, just becoming public on the 13th of August 2007. So just hope over and get to know your favourite site even better now.
