I discovered this data brokerage service from GNIP which offers complete access to data sets from Twitter, Tumblr, Foresquare, WordPress and more, it also offers a partial service for companies like Facebook, Flickr, Instagram. I am not sure of the pricing model however it looks promising for large scale data mining. Check it out here

Im wondering if anyone is interested in pulling together a team (or teams) for AngelHack London on the 10th and 11th of November.

A fantastic Ted Talk from Marc Goodman looking at how criminals and hackers were using technology to help their crimes and looks at ways this might evolve in the future.
