A couple people have expressed an interest in seeing the breakdown of
     accesses to our Web server, so...
 
     1360+ Different sites. A site is a unique IP address (or hostname if
     reverse DNS was able to resolve it).
 
     297 of unknown origin (no reverse DNS info available. These are often
     people's workstations which are behind firewalls.
 
     Breaking down the rest by first level domain:
 
     342 EDU \
     300 COM  \
     72  NET   \
     49  GOV   / I assume these are probably all in the US.

     Our WWW server has never been announced publicly anywhere but here on
     HP3000-L/comp.sys.hp.mpe. It's been very interesting to see the Web
     expand and absorb us without any further action on our part. People
     have found information that they thought was interesting and put links
     to it in their own servers. From there, various webcrawling automatons
     came by and took away all text material and indexed it. Now people all
     over the world who use the WebCrawler and other search engines to do
     keyword searches on the entire contents of the Web can find our
     information as easily as anything else.
 
     See http://home.mcom.com/home/internet-search.html for a list of the
     most popular www searching facilities available. I find the WebCrawler
     to be the most impressive. It has a full text index of virtually every
     word on every page of every www server in the world. You can give it a
     couple keywords of interest and in only a second or so you are
     presented with a listing of URLs that match. A search for 'HP3000'
     comes back in 2 seconds with a list of 33 matches. Oddly, this does
     not seem to include Robelle's www server. So we search on 'Robelle'
     and get 19 matches, This includes their own Web pages, other pages
     that point to theirs, and even a web access statistics file from
     wright.edu apparently showing that someone at robelle.com accessed
     their server! This kind of indexing turns the Web into a distributed
     sort of encyclopedia as impressive as anything imagined in Science
     Fiction. Really amazing stuff.
