> What are the implications of the general public having a Webcrawler?
There are many initiatives underway to give the user the ability
of crawling, both in a directed fashion (ala agents) and in an
undirected one as well.
What are the implications? Ummm... heavy usage hit on major
web sites with little or no value to the site to support it.
Extrapolation from here is easy.
