It's in the pipeline! Thanks.

Scoopler is written in Python. We use Cloudant (YC s08) for storing our data. I'm planning to write a blog post about this on soon on our Posterous.

For the most recent trends you can check out the hot topics. We also want to do news updates regularly - follow @scoopler and you'll get updates soon!
