Technorati's Ironic Lack of Community Focus

I occasionally point out that there's a lack of representation in technology-based communities of a non-upper-middle-class-male life experience. I mention that this leads to many problems, including structures that instantiate a specific type of young-male worldview and style of interpersonal interaction.

Another example for the heap: the blog categories for Technorati.  I'm not exactly sure where a blog about volunteerism would go, since there actually is no category -- ironically -- for community activities.
