MSNBot Sighted
Jeremy was wondering if anyone else has sighted the MSNBot… It first arrived on jimohalloran.com at 19/Jun/2003 14:14:55 and has generated 246 hits since then. I also seem to have been blessed with a visit from what I’m guessing is the beta of MSNBot, a beastie reporting itself as “MicrosoftPrototypeCrawler (How’s my crawling? mailto:newbiecrawler@hot
mail.com)”. The prototype first visited here on 19/Apr/2003:00:03:31 and generated 664 hits before its last visit on 05/May/2003 23:05:14.
Jon Says
Yup. I seen it and I think it was tagged as a ‘grabber’. Dunno what it was looking for because I always use the phrase Microslosh instead of the other word to avoid people finding me when searching for the other word. (Hope that made sense).
