From my limited exposure to research code, it would take a long time to turn most of it into something other people could run, but maybe if it was a requirement that would encourage more re-usable code?

Most people imported their address book from their webmail when they signed up to Facebook, and while a bit different from auto-analysing emails, has been a lot less controversial.

It required headless x-windows and QT the last time I used it.

This makes it impossible to browse for documents unless somebody has shared the URL with you. My application doesn't need any searching capabilities luckily!

Almost.

You and the Datastax team are a big part of why I chose Cassandra, you're the backbone of the community.

It looks like ASTER would be essential for any kind of open-source Google Earth, I'll include it in my next roundup.

I checked out your blog by the way, loved the writing, and the puppy rescuing! Mon, 22 Aug 2011 18:23:48 +0000 http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2011/06/green-tea-kit-kats.html#IDComment185555339 http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2011/05/using-hadoop-with-external-api-calls.html#IDComment175275164 I don't have any public examples I can point you to unfortunately. One way to approach it is to pass the access keys as part of the input data, or to have a central proxy server that figures out how to allocate user keys to maximize your use of the rate limits.

I'll include that in my next roundup post.

That does make it a lot more palatable. Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:27:05 +0000 http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2011/07/five-belated-links.html#IDComment174856719 http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2008/07/try-out-opencal.html#IDComment168441904 Sorry, I haven't looked at that for a while so I'm not sure what's going on. I think that the OpenCalais site might have some better demos now. Thu, 30 Jun 2011 20:53:37 +0000 http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2008/07/try-out-opencal.html#IDComment168441904 http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2011/06/my-introduction-to-mapreduce-video-is-now-available.html#IDComment166245422 I go through one example in the video, where I analyze public Facebook information, and I've used it extensively in my work on Twitter and public web crawls. I chose Python because it's the most common teaching language, and a lot of people know it. The great thing about the Hadoop streaming model for MapReduce is that you can use any language that can read from stdin and write to stdout, so in fact I've used all sorts of different languages in production, including PHP!

Part of the reason I decided to shut it down was when I realized I didn't have time to do that experimentation, with the other projects I'm running. I have had a sponsorship offer come through though, so the site may yet still live!

I'll be including it in an upcoming five short links. Tue, 24 May 2011 23:31:57 +0000 http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2010/09/the-missing-tool-for-data-scientists.html#IDComment155791565
