I'm looking to find a tool for the web that would allow me to search for
new sites in apprx. 300 distinct topical areas. I need this tool to
autonomously search, and categorize the information such that a human
could rifle through it in a timely fashion to find appropriate new links.

Am I looking for *a* robot? many robots? a spider? where can i go to
find the information that i'm looking for? does this technology exist in
the commercial market, or in research circles?

I'd really appreciate any help that anyone can give.
