Rude found it linked from the glasshaus blog.
"userati" derives from "literati" - a community of literary people.
Similarly, see http://www.cliterati.co.uk (NOT AT ALL suitable for work
viewing!) run by John's missus.
I had the same questions about how the listing was derived so did a lot of
clicking through on the links until I came up with a hypothesis.
Cheers
