For anyone else confused by the title, this is an alternative to you doing the crawling.
It's not some proposal to re-architect the web so that crawling isn't necessary. It's a data warehouse of the web as a service.
- fooyc 8y agoIt’s not even an alternative to crawling. It’s just a way to exploit the result of crawling. You have to crawl first. Very misleading title.
- adrianmonk 8y agoI don't think it's actually wrong to call it an alternative. If someone says that going to a restaurant is an alternative to cooking, you know exactly what they mean. It's not an alternative method, but it is an alternative choice. The problem is that there are two valid interpretations here, and it wasn't clear which was the right one.
- fooyc 8y agoAs long as Mixnode took care of the cooking for us, yes, using Mixnode’s SQL cutlery is kind of an alternative to cooking. Let’s hope that the food is varied enough and not too outdated, though.
- dang 8y agoOk, we've taken that bit out of the title above.
