Search marketing in the new media era.

Wiki-Based Search Engine Claims To Be Web's Biggest
Eric Ward takes an in-depth look at the wiki-based search engine, modestly named, Web's Biggest.

One curious snippet...

Web’s Biggest is unique in that they have created a virtually replica of the whois database. This enables them to search almost every website in the English-speaking world. Other search engines rely on hyperlinks and manual submissions to find websites and miss more than half of them as a result.

Doesn't that violate whois guidelines or something? I know I've seen notices at most places similar to NetSol's...

"...The compilation, repackaging, dissemination or other use of this Data is expressly prohibited without the prior written consent of Network Solutions. You agree not to use high-volume, automated, electronic processes to access or query the WHOIS database."

I'm not on one of my normal "witch-hunts", just curious. ;-)
