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. http://www.kalooga.com/ http://www.heeii.com/ Maybe this can add some inspiration and maybe not ;) Do your thing and i'd love to see your presentation somewhere online!!
