In viewing who is online

Post by tiltbillings »

In viewing who is online, this was displayed:
Google Adsense [Bot] Replying to message in The Dhammic free-for-all

I cannot wait to see what the Google Adsense [Bot] has to say.

It would probably be depressing Tiltbillings, he is a cousin of Marvin The Paranoid Android from The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Sometimes the bots do more crawling late at night (at least late for here in the states) to put less load on websites. Typically less people are on at those times, at least if the majority of your visitors are US-based.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.

And then there's Baidu, who is more of the quiet, artistic type:
Many people have asked about the meaning of our name. 'Baidu' was inspired by a poem written more than 800 years ago during the Song Dynasty. The poem compared the search for a retreating beauty amid chaotic glamour with the search for one's dream while confronted by life's many obstacles. '...hundreds and thousands of times, for her I searched in chaos, suddenly, I turned by chance, to where the lights were waning, and there she stood.' (Chinese: 众里寻他千百度,蓦然回首,那人却在灯火阑珊处;) Baidu, whose literal meaning is hundreds of times, represents persistent search for the ideal.

Also, the more content you add to a website the more frequent bot visits you get. More threads and more posts means more content for them to crawl. They're hungry little critters and will consume all the content you make available to them.
