Anyone see the Dipsie Bot in your log?
If I read Gregg Notes today on his blog, -- and others on the past few months--, it is supposed to be "The world's tenth wonder"!

For my part, I never saw that bot in any of my logs files. A big hoax? Or that bot spyder only the 10 billions sites *around* my hundred clients I monitor? ;-)

The PR (public relations, that is!) for this search engine has been working this month -- it even got mentioned in the MIT Technology newsletter about alternatives to Google. But as you said, I haven't see the bot and I can't imagine how they're going to launch a 10 billion page search engine this summer without getting the spidering part down pat.

MSN has been working on theirs for a long time, and if this newbie is going to be anything but a fluffy PR house-of-cards, you would think we'd being seeing them in the logs by now.
