Funny thing happened last weekend. I was watching SciFi last weekend when they showed new promotional code on TV. All I had to do is go to there website and enter the code. Well having a laptop on hand, I hit the url immediately. I knew what would happen next. Well, the website was not available for next half an hour. What surprised me, was a channel like SciFi doing a promotional would have not know or would be incapable of operating such traffic. Old media still doesn’t get new media.

AOL Research Data

AOL released its search data for 3 month, complete with unique Ids for brief amount of time. However it retracted and removed its data from the website after it drew sever criticism from the internet community and privacy folks. This data is valuable gold mine for data miners like me. If you are looking for the files and can’t find them, don’t worry. I am putting links to mirrors where you can download. The cat is already out of the bag and I believe open community. The files is about 500 MB in size but its well worth a copy. Please post any other mirrors you know about.
