“Now I only wonder what this means for the dozens of “in-world search engines” like the ones I’ve listed on my blogroll, who use libSL and a pseudo-avatar-bot roaming the grid searching for content. I guess they will quickly become obsolete. Ah well…”

Are there any remaining ones? I abandoned mine during the alpha stage because I saw the writing on the wall, that LL homebrew their own, in a way I couldn't compete with.

Gwyn if I turn it off via the publish to the web option it does not stop my AV name appearing on the web, nor my key.

Facebook have better options for dealing with this.

Diva, sim, sou portuguesa

As for SLBrowser, I’m glad you’re still in the business of searching & indexing SL content!

Ciaran, it’s very easy to turn it off. Just log in with the Release Candidate, and uncheck the box “Publish on the Web”. And there you go — your Profile will vanish from Search! Now isn’t that wonderfully simple? I wish that the billion sites on the Web would work that way…

Just an interesting statistic: on the day I post a new article, half of the hits on my blog are from search engines (mostly Google and Yahoo, but also many others). When I don’t post any article at all, it’s about 90-95% of traffic generated just by ‘bots crawling the web pages. It’s scary. The Web’s traffic these days is only made by machines, not humans…

I don’t want to watch my profile on the web, it shouldn’t be available to be viewed either.

There’s potential in this new search for sure, there’s also the danger of spam city arriving at an IM box near you soon.

Here’s a useful little bit of HTML:

I couldn’t find any kind of entry point into their database of HTML pages from the outside world, so I made my own.

I heard about this through a little bird and figured it was time to abandon my efforts along these lines. Ah well — at least we finaly have useful metadata! ^___^
