Something new among the spiders

 kw: blogs, blogging, spider scanning

Look what I saw when I checked my blog stats:

This is about 350 hits per hour for most of the past nine hours. Almost all from Safari on Mackintosh computer(s). It looks like it was a full-site scan, because that's about all the posts I have, going back to 2005.

I'd be curious to hear from the spider-wrangler, just what is the purpose of all this?
