They are doing the same thing, and his task was to come up with a way of finding out which sites in the world were Australian. (It's not really enough just to look for the .au suffix.) I've forgotten his name, but he was supervised by Paul Thomas, now at CSIRO and a VUW alumni. The approach was a machine-learning kind of thing looking at word frequencies.
