No, he refers to the latest swarm technology - a swarm (like, of  
crows) has a better overview and can check several spots (files) for  
changes. A crowser is made from a configurable number of software  
agents ("crows") that communicate like a swarm of crows - i.e.  
democratically: if a majority of crows gets bored (no file changes),  
the whole swarm flies to another location. That's probably the reason  
why crowsers aren't that widespread, so that you never heard of them.  
The best known crowser implementation, a Firefox spin-off named "Crow  
& Fox" by Lab Fontaine is famed for its "drag & drop the cheese"  
feature.
