Participants Wanted in Alexa Beta Project
Alexa, one of the leading search engine companies of the past decade, is currently seeking participants in a beta crawling project.This is potentially a great to way to get insight at the inner workings of Alexa's search nuisances, especially since they have provided the search results for various Internet search engines for many years. In fact, Alexa was hailed as a pioneer in the search technology field during the early days of the search engine craze, roughly 1996 to 2000 when the infamous dot com bust happened.
(Note: Does anyone remember oldskool MetaCrawler, Altavista, Excite, LookSmart, InfoSeek, Northern Light? Some also provide updates on the current top searches. For example, today they include Radioactive Spy, Google Pizza, Gift Cards, Unique Gifts, Target.)
