When did you start your website and why?
I started Zim Crawler mid June this year (2007).
There are alot of news sources on Zimbabwe around the world. However, most Zimbabweans are not even aware of them because it's getting harder and harder to pinpoint the information you want via search engines due to search engine spamming by some webmasters.
Those that are aware of these various sources find it hard to synchronise this information because of the number of links they would have to follow. This website tries to make it easier for news readers by putting all the latest news headlines on one source.
Please give us a short summary of your website, business model, etc
Zim Crawler is a news aggregator and search engine. It displays all the latest Zimbabwean news headlines from various sources
What has been the most difficult part of creating and running your website?
I have not yet encountered any difficulties since this website is still relatively new :)
What has been the easist part of operating your website?
Updating the news ;) I have automated this process so everything runs on autopilot! All I have to do is add a source and it will search for news updates every now and then.
What was your biggest mistake?
Ask me that in six months or so, then I will have an answer.
Who maintains your website and why?
I do. I love messing around with web sites.
