vahkimetru Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 I just checked the online list, it says google.com is using PM?
vahkimetru Posted April 10, 2006 Author Posted April 10, 2006 No, I know google can go here to EB, but how does it use PM?
Hobbes Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 It doesn't "use" it literally. It's a bot that is programmed to crawl all accessible areas of a board. And as a member (human or not) PMs are accessible. So it crawls there, too.
vahkimetru Posted April 10, 2006 Author Posted April 10, 2006 I see, this topic can be closed now. Thanks Hobbes.
jonfett Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 Just thought I would point out that Googles friend Jeeves popped up today as well! So before anyone starts asking about them as well.. I will point out that it is a bot just like google, only it got jealous of google so came scouting around here to see what it was missing. Poor old bots :sleep: Jon.
xwingyoda Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 Also I wish to point out that there are 4 bots total as of now browsing through EB: *Google.com *Ask Jeeves *Archive.com *Lycos.com *yoda*
