Whats a bot ?

[Epsilon]

Often if one looks at the "who's online " at the bottom of the index it lists google bot or yahoo bot ...What is that ?

[FlyByNite]

A bot is a program that surfs the web cataloging everything it finds. Bot is short for robot.
That is how Google and Yahoo find out what is out there. On a site
like this that has almost constant change, you will see bots regularly.
