You have a market share in the Orient?

Those entire regions were the initial that I denied access to my websites to when I began with htaccess.

Don,

You have a market share in the Orient?

They responded to me - gist of that email:

NTT Resonant, Inc - Multimedia file web search. Formerly the crawler known as gazz/x.0 - tech info and the search portal will be announced in February.

[volatilegx]

Did they mention the name of the portal?

[bcolflesh]

Nope - if you look up the company name, they have all sorts of interesting irons in the fire, like:

[japancorp.net...]

I'll ask the guy who emailed me if he can give out more info.

[bcolflesh]

From another email - the portal is:

[goo.ne.jp...]

The search service will appear in February.

The bot seems to have normal behavior. It come in on one of my topics and crawled this intense and did later some other sites too.

Also it seems interested in images.
