Showing samples of recent technology changesPosted by Sam Soltano on 13 January 2011 in NewsSummary: We start to show samples of sites that have recently changes some technology.
A new sidebar on the site information page shows a selection of sites, on which we have discovered one or more changes in technology usage. For example, we would show messages like that:
Microsoft.com switched from Microsoft-IIS to Nginx
That particular example might be unlikely, but you get the idea.
We show these messages in "real time", as our spider discovers them. Of course, the actual change might have been deployed a few weeks earlier, any time between our last two visits of that site.
We hope you like that new feature, not because we consider it to be terribly useful, but it's fun to watch how the web changes, and sometimes examples of changes are more illustrative than raw figures.
