Collecting Nutch use cases for talk @BerlinBuzzwords

[Julien Nioche <li...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

The title says it all. I'm searching for interesting use cases for my Nutch
talk at Berlin. Do you use Nutch in an interesting way or on a particularly
large scale? If you think your use case could be a good illustration of what
Nutch does, please get in touch and I'll happily include it in my talk

Thanks

Julien

Hi Markus,

Thanks, I am sure this will be of interest for the list as a whole. The talk
will probably be recorded and accessible later.

Julien,

In Groningen (where i am) are at least three companies i know are using (or 
used) Nutch for their activities. I also know it has been or is being used by 
MSc' on our univsersity for research etc.

- Kalooga, using a heaviliy modified Nutch, to crawl the internet in search for 
photo galleries and albums. Their service provides a means to find relevant 
pictures and photo's for a set of given terms.

- Heeii, used Nutch to fetch pages visited by their users from the internet 
and indexed them in a modified Lucene index. This service, for which 
development has been suspended, provided users (using a browser side-bar) with 
links to pages that are relevant to the current page. Unfortunately, Heeii now 
puts the focus exclusively to Twitter.

- Openindex (how typical) uses Nutch to crawl subscribed domains. A tight 
coupling of a given site with Solr is expensive to build so we provide a 
cheap, easy to integrate (just a single Javascript file) service to give good 
search to sites. Using a tuned and specifically configured Nutch we can add more 
functionality than Google.

Maybe this can add some inspiration and maybe not ;) Do your thing and i'd 
love to see your presentation somewhere online!!
