Neo is the first Yahoo! 360° bot and is written in Java. It crawls Yahoo! 360° using Breadth-first search method, In the beta testing it was programmed to post a comment in each page it passes. Neo saves everything in the top page and separates them into different fields like Name, Birth date, Study Place, Living place, Yahoo! ID and etc. It also can find the nationality of people even if there isn't any sign of it in their page using their friends page and fuzzy logic [1].
