npm-used is like the most depended on list except you can limit the
search to certain authors grouped by named categories.
This is useful for module discovery.
For example you may want to find out what the popular modules are among the unix-style nodesters.
After looking at the list you can clearly see you should check out tap.

npm-used comes with the following preloaded categories
- unix (people like substack)
- ruby (people like TJ)
- nodejitsu (nodejitsu folk)

I could use help finding better default categories. PR Welcome
