Dipsie: Web crawler gets deep pages

[mandy]

In a world where everyone is waiting for the next Google, Dipsie has to be one of the most-anticipated Internet search companies in some time.

Its founder Jason Weiner -- a self-taught programmer -- has been written up in several publications. And the Dipsie bot has been crawling the Web for more than a year.

So it might surprise some people to realize that Dipsie has finally launched not as a search engine, but as a company that helps Web sites get crawled by search engines.

Dipsie announces dCloakTM BETA

Dipsie dCloakTM enables Web site owners, content publishers, search engine optimization companies and marketers to make "deep web" pages visible to GoogleTM, Yahoo!TM and MSNTM.

Once dCloak has made a web site's pages visible, site publishers can maximize the position of a site's pages, build keyword marketing campaigns compatible with Google AdWordsTM and OvertureTM and keep tabs on competitors.

Shit, I was going to sign up!  :angry017:

The Beta program is currently closed to new user registration; current Beta users may continue to use their existing login. We are modifying dCloak based on user feedback and plan to launch the official v1.0 product in the first quarter of 2006. No new modifications or maintenance releases will be made to the existing Beta product during this period.
