Data Mining Amazon
An intrepid soul searched and indexed Amazon wishlists and retreieved over 260000 wish lists all neatly listed with location information.

Maybe I Should Submit My Resume to Amazon
Homeland Security starts at your web server.
Data Mining would've been stopped dead in it's tracks with a simple scraper stopper.
People doing crap like this will cause more bots to be blocked, more scrapers stopped.
Thanks for proving a point there jocko.
