While trying to update all icons in Piwik (https://github.com/piwik/piwik/pull/11063), I realized that many of the urls in the list don't exist anymore.

I don't have a IPv6 Connection

At least identi.ca works now - but the error was connection refused and not connect timeout.

I don't know much about other items, but com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox has origin in Android (is it legit?), other domains had only temporary problems. How about historic value of search engines for statistics purposes?

Findus23 commented 7 years ago

@istana You are right, identica.ca is online again. com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox is an error of my script as is not a domain but an android app.

I didn't mean, that these domains should be removed from piwik. It was just a side effect of my attempt of updating all piwik icons, that I didn't want to keep to myself.

thanks for sharing your findings, it's certainly useful to know that so many search engines or bots are probably dead

sgiehl commented 7 years ago

I'm not sure if we should remove those "dead" ones from the list, as they might still be relevant when analyzing historical data.

Now that all pages have icons, this doesn't really matter any more.
