What the heck are spiders showing as online???

LOL I wondered that last night!

ooooh here was me thinking you were super smart and had an answer for me!!! LOL maybe they're like little bots or something

too busy sitting on the fence to create a witty answer :P

Search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, and Ask, use computer programs referred to as spiders (also called "crawlers" or “robots”) to investigate the Web for new and updates sites, in order to keep their databases up-to-date. The findings of these spiders are then are integrated into each search engine’s database of archived sites to provide results to visitors that use its search query function.

no no no they are giant spiders that make pretty webs in the world wide web looking for tasty bugs....

hmmmm

aaaah there you go. spiders sounds creepier than bots LOL, I like it

LOL! I love your comment Jody...sounds much more fanciful!

Spiders are robot crawlers that index websites for search engines such as google etc.
