Alexa & AWSP

[john_loch]

AWSP is an acronym for Alexa Web Search Platform.

I've just signed up for the beta because in my view, it's the ultimate search resource. This thing basically gives you access to its over 300 Terrabytes of crawled data. It costs (not much considering), but in my view no longer being limited to the mundane queries G.Y. & M afford us is a jewel.

In fact - If I'm not mistaken, Alexa just TOTALLY eclipsed the Dev offerings of Yahoo, Google, & MSN combined.

Imagine - all those things about not just content, but raw on-page code that you wanted to address in search - now at my eager little fingertips.

Anyone using AWSP right now ?
What do you think of it ?

PS: At this moment, Alexas is almost unreachable - seems I'm not the only one interested in this..:rolleyes:

Cheers,

JL

I have not really heard of this but seems very interesting. Seems like we can customize it to our own needs. Cool. Let us know if you find something more.

I received the usual canned response.. sorry, the beta program is at capacity.. we'll let you know... etc.

Oh well, looks like I'll have to wait in line like most everyone else :)
