Interesting: Cyveillance's 'bot ignores robots.txt (it hasn't accessed that file on gulker.com in nearly 1000 visits), but Cyveillance publishes a robots.txt on their site. Hmmm... so what's good for the goose is not good for us ganders? Comments [ ] 11:55:16 PM

Cyveillance will analyze your online brand for free: go to this page and enter a brand that you want to analyze (I tried my name) and it will tell you how many domains you have, how many pages you show up on (and breaks them out by conventional, violence, porn etc.), how often you turn up in links, etc.
Interesting... but I sense something's missing... here are the results of 3 searches on names in both Cyveillance and Google and the number of hits they return:
Hilary Rosen is CEO of RIAA, and much in the news lateley. Dave Winer is a Berkman Fellow at Harvard, and a much-read observer of technology. So, I'm either misunderstanding what Cyveillance means by 'home pages' or the universe that Cyveillancebot crawls is miniscule compared to Googlebot's. Googlebot touches gulker.com about 1000 times more often than Cyveillancebot: if that's any measure of the relative crawl-power of the two 'bots, then you'd expect to see 1000x fewer hits on a given name on Cyveillance, which is very roughly the case... |

Another interesting (and amusing) referrer:
209.86.105.35 - - [07/May/2003:11:50:41 -0700] "GET /graphics/left_bg.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 15741 "http://www.gulker.com/graphics/left_bg.jpg" "Mozilla/8.0 (compatible; If trivial copyright encryption is a digital electrical fence, the DMCA is digital piss.)"
Amazing the media people use to communicate these days.... |

Be very interesting to see what it does next... it still hasn't found the full site... |
