MAXOMObot Video Search rides the 'Net.

( Another Nutch. )

69.31.4.167 - - [07/Dec/2004:14:59:08 -0800] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" 200 1705 "-" "maxomobot/dev-20041201 (maxomo; [67.102.134.34:4047...] ; maxomobot'at'maxomo.com)"

They say: "What, you ask, is this MAXOMO? It's a Video Search Engine that will launch shortly . We're working to become a major resource for users searching for video on the net."

Since I have no video for them to dine upon and they do mention respecting robots.txt...so they be banned.

Oh no, not another Nutch :(

Thanks for the note Glenn.

I've chosen to deny the backbone range as well.
It doesn't appear to me as if they offer retail internet services. As a result (at least from my point of view) they fall into the colocation category.

A ARIN on William Lu (Thread pending)
Will provide some insight and additional

Nlayer ip ranges as well.
Suggest Nlayer at ARIN as well.

Sure enough. :)

Since I banned via robots.txt MAXOMObot has checked it each of three times and left, post haste.

As for another Nutch. <heavy sigh> I don't think we are any where near seeing saturation levels yet and that's what has me concerned.

I'd be interested to see what the relationship between spiders/bots and webmasters in ten years, or so. ;)
