I caught a google bot (66.249.XX.XX) trying to register as a member.

How common is this??

No shit?
I did not know they were that sophisticated. Is it even possible for a bot to get around the email activation?

Apparently not. it failed to register. At first i thought we were getting another Californian since the IP traced to Mountian View,Ca in Silicon Valley. but I did a little google search and found that that's the home of google.


Is it possible that it's simply a person AT google?  They allow personal surfing.

i doubt it. anyway, the googlebots will follow the links here as far as they can, and that includes login/register pages.

I see, so, it wasn't really trying to register. All it was doing was following its nose, as it's supposed to do. That makes a lot more sense.

exactly. the bots have no idea of what they're "looking at". they're here to index our pages.

The whole idea of self-awareness is
unimportant though. Bots could probably
made, which can handle registration, soon
enough. Language processing's gone a long
way, recently.
