This one was spotted by chance. As it features 'Mozilla' in the User Agent string it was being treated as traffic. However, it visited a site that only I ever go to, (www.matthewriter.co.uk), and it didn't take long to discover that the mystery guest was a darn bot.
I expect you must be wondering how I cope with such excitment in my life as seeing another new content gathering device. Indeed, and this one even feature images. Ever wondered who generates the thumbnails used by MSN search et al? No, me neither.
