Ask HN: Resources on bots, spiders

4 pointsahold18y ago1 comments

Hi guys, are there some resources and mainly IDEAS for usage of bots, spiders and other software agents to help your business (ex. competitive inteligence)? I already read book Webbots spiders and screenscrapers from Starch press and I really like it. Could you recommend other interesting resources?

Regarding "competitive intelligence" you could check out RivalMap for some ideas, which is a cool looking service.
