    Default What the heck is a "Yahoo Slurp Spider"?

    I was viewing who's online and along with the usual suspects and a few guests, were several "Yahoo! Slurp Spiders".

    What the heck is that?
    A spider is a search-engine program that collects data on the web
    and adds it to the database of the search-engine.
    On very popular sites their numbers might add to a few hundred spiders.
    Google is also using this technique. They usually come in waves that
    subside after a few days.
