Google Spider?

[katcarasella]

:eek: O.K. Who are Goggle Spider, and Google AdSense Spider! When I went to see who's online, they were both there. They're not on the members list.
One of them was looking at one of my threads earlier. Am I just being paranoid?
Oh, maybe they're related to Spiderman.:rolleyes: OMG, now their's a Yahoo, Slurp Slider on:eek:
Are they Lurkers?

[Janet]

I forget what they are called, but they are harmless. They gather information as to what people are interested in or something like that. I know there has to be someone that can explain it way better than me.

That's probably how Google knows where to send people when they do searches. Sometimes 4WT threads come up when you search for something we've talked about. Actually, I think it's kinda creepy.

[katcarasella]

Yes, it is creepy, I just looked and he's on there again. I'm gonna ask Admin.
about it tomorrow.

[Marilyn]

You might consider seraching the threads. We've talked about so much on here, it's hard to remember, but I think this issue came up before. If not, your plan to ask admin sounds great.

[toodles]

it is a little creepy. oye

[Janet]

Make you want to put a cloth over the video cam doesn't it...LOL

[AngieDoogles]

Marilyn is right, it's a search bot. It comes here and copies all of the text for a database which Google uses for its search engines. It is pretty scary, but sometimes it can be really helpful for others to know what we're typing/talking about. For example, if we talk about depression, someone might search google for "depression" and be directed here and then our threads might really help that person. You never know.

Just be careful. Anything you type on the internet can be found by anyone.

I always wondered what they were too. I had guessed that they were some kind of searches but I didn't know for sure. I don't think that I'm too crazy about them either.

Wanna see something really scary? I just googled my 4WT and YT name and these are 2 things that came up on the google search:

Be careful what you say online if you don't want it known.

:angel: Being the absolute angel I am I have nothing to worry about! Or, at least not according to the cyberworld.

Seriously, whatever you put in writing can be used in a court of law. Whatever you put online can be seen by the whole world.

I'm basically convinced that my SS#, bank accounts, credit card#'s, etc; are already available for anyone who cares to bother. My secrets are kind of boring, and my life is an open book for the cyberworld to do whatever they want with it.

Having made peace with that fact, I decided I don't really care, and if there is anything I really don't want known, it doesn't go online. (I wish I had a couple of juicy secrets to keep to myself!)

[Janet]

Guess I'm gonna have to really watch it huh?

[judy]

Really? Do you have juicy little secrets? Somehow, I don't think you have a lot to hide - not that you couldn't get some juicy things going - but you're too good!

[Gina]

This internet seems to be an open book.. Yes no posting personal information you have to be real careful. As far as juicy secrets who cares no one I know, knows that I belong ont these websites. So they wont go searching for gossip..

[DianaB]

I typed in my user name and a lot of Princess Diana stuff came up. When I typed in my real name a lot of other Diana's came up and when I went over a few pages I finally found a 4WT posting that was mine. I'm like Judy. I'm not too worried about it. I think that if someone wants information on me they'll find it somewhere.
