WebCrawler Turns 10 Today

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the young-at-art dept.

Brian Pinkerton writes "WebCrawler, one of the first search engines on the 'Net, turns 10 today. You can read a short history of WebCrawler. When I wrote WebCrawler, one could do a credible job of crawling, indexing, and searching the Web from a single desktop PC. Today, the reality is a little bit different."
