What is ANT.COM? Internet search is controlled by billion-dollars, publicly-traded companies such as Google and Microsoft. If you run a website and are not in their indexes, people can't find you. Even if their service is generally good, the way they index the web has many flaws. They are causing significant collateral damages to many sites regularly. Their indexes are largely exploited too : spammers and entities with sufficient funds alike can manipulate the results easily. Yet we don't really see any other techniques being used. We think that this specific field (internet search) is of major importance and needs more protagonists, who are not money-driven share holders, for the benefit of all.
Who are we? We are a group of webmasters and programmers from USA and France. We started to work on the 'ant project' in 2005.
