I'm not sure if platform reader is the official term for a program like this, but I need a program that can take a list of URLs and separate them into types like pligg/phpdugg/scuttle (in the case of social bookmarking) or into the different forum types (vbulletin, etc). Things like that.

I've been using Sick Platform Reader (by the people who make Sick Submitter, of course) but it sucks balls and I've always been pretty sure that this probably isn't the thing that most of you guys use for this task.

surely you guys scrape your own lists of URLs then divvy them up into categories somehow

Mike, I would suggest that you scrape the platforms with tight footprints that only would return the platform you're going after. This way, you do the scrapin' and don't even need to waste any more time with the platformin'. That's what I do and it works fucking fantastic.
