There is now some buzz about this "over there" and I never got a straight answer from the Overture people above CS.
Is it still out there?

It was the Cadabra Spider

"When I called Overture customer service on 7/17/02 it took quite a bit of coaxing, but they did tell me that cadabra.com was purchased by them, and that the spider was used to verify their partners SERP's, and that the spidering would continue."
Then Crazy_Fool found this
"PASADENA, California, November 22, 1999 - GoTo.com (NASDAQ: GOTO), the company that pioneered an online marketplace introducing consumers and advertisers, today announced its intent to acquire Cadabra Inc., a leading Internet-based provider of comparison-shopping services. The $250 million deal, comprised of $8 million in cash and the balance in GoTo stock, is expected to be completed as early as January 2000."
In the press release (under Affiliates) it also states:
That Cadabra developed technology for finding matching categories, this might be very valuable for Overture when it comes to there "Match Driver"
Is it still out there?
Haven't seen it since 7/25/02. Anyone else?
