Bots vs Browsers - database of 875,176 user agents and growing

2006.7.25 - 40,000 User Agents!!!
Today, Bots vs Browsers finally broke the big 40,000 user agent benchmark.
In the last few weeks leading up to this, we have seen quite a few new bots also (18 to be exact).
The most eventful visits were:
-
Gaisbot/3.0 paid us a visit, apparently from university affiliated with Global Area Information Servers.
They were also kind enough to disclose a URL and an email address in the user agent string, in case anyone has questions / complaints.

-
The Bloglines/3.1 bot came by to read up on our blog.

-
MyFamilyBot/1.0 appeared in our web logs also, apparently looking for family-related content.
related...
-
Crawler/1.0 made it's debut sporting a very creative and original name.
Crawler/1.0 comes from the land of http://elibron.com (which is ironically a literature site, yet names are scarce...)
related...
-
PediaSearch.com Crawler crawled by - I can't seem to find any information about this user agent, but I'd say it's safe to assume it's a crawler.

-
MQBot visited our sites also - this is a bot that aids in research and development at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.
related...
-
The yoono/1.0 web-crawler/1.0 (pronunciation anyone?) web crawler stopped by as well.
related...
-
Both Yahoo! Slurp and
Googlebot stepped up with new bots on our sites in the last three weeks.
related...
-
MojeekBot/2.0 crawled by looking for content for it's search engine at Mojeek.com.
related...
-
And, as always, a few new iterations of FindLinks came over.
Development efforts over at the FindLinks laboratories must be very fruitful, seeing that versions 1.1.3-beta2,
1.1.3-beta3,
and 1.1.3-beta4 have all been introduced this month.
