Yahoo!'s Hotjobs bot

Continuing from [webmasterworld.com...]

Yahoo! announced on their blog today that they are now using their index to "organically discover job listings on the web".

The user agent doing the crawling for this appears to be different from the standard Slurp:

"YahooSeeker/CafeKelsa-dev (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; FreeBSD ;[e-mail] )

Yep, I was just tracing the i.p. for this one. It took the index and the contact etc. 5 pages total.

On traceroute it resolves here: lsa08.hj.ny1.yahoo.com.
