Bots vs Browsers - database of 185,406 user agents and growing

2006.12.12 - 50,000 User Agents!
This month we spent putting a new backend on the site, as well as migrating to a new server.
In the meantime, we were visited by 39 new bots, so here's some quick catchup.
Oh, by the way, we also passed the 50,000 user agent milestone this month - hurray!
-
GurujiBot/1.0 stopped by, and in following their URL in the user agent, I found out that
"GurujiBot is the user-agent for Guruji's web crawler. Guruji is crawling the web to build a Next Generation Search Engine.". According to their site, they obey the robots.txt exclusion standard.

Blog Conversation Project has been reading up on our sites working on a project for Harvard.
According to their site, "The Blog Conversation Project is a research study seeking to develop methods of automatically reading and coding a large sample of blogs so that we might be able to measure the views expressed in this national or international conversation."
The URL they provide is an interesting read and has more information about their project, so you should follow it and read more about them.

lanshanbot/1.0 passed by and included the MSN bot URL for their own.
Upon following their URL, there is no mention of lanshanbot, so we are not sure if they are posing or legit.

Sunrise/0.42i hit our logs - this agent is used by an open source project called "Sunrise" that "converts websites and newsfeeds for offline reading on your handheld".

Straight from Hungaria, the LapozzBot/1.4 has been poking around our sites this month.
They also have a website, but none of us read hungarian, so we'll leave it up to you to read up on their intentions.
