[uf-discuss] Pingerati

[Benjamin West]

As far as services/crawling go, I would suggest AWSP (Alexa Web Search
Platform).  Alexa opens their crawl data for other to sift through so
you don't have to do the crawling.  If you are concerned about your
resources' preparedness, consider using Amazon's S3 (simple storage
service) for storage.


(Disclaimer: I work for Alexa, but AWSP really is a useful service for
mining data out of the web.)
