Bublup Bot

Verifiable

Bublup's content-discovery bot. It fetches pages to build the database behind Bublup's suggestion engine, reading page title, description and related images. Bublup states its crawling IPs are not fixed and documents reverse-DNS verification against the bublup.com domain instead.
