data mining for good

There's been some press about data privacy, and these do revolve around large issues such as national ID cards, but data mining has it's uses. Consider this, I use last.fm to scrobble my music through my music player on my PC (also available for iPods when sync'd through iTunes).

From this data along with my location, I just got an email with gig listing of music I might like coming up in my location.

Awesome.
