IMDB Data Exposed
While playing with the Oracle of Bacon, I realized that the game “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” is just a graph traversal problem. Schools are using it as such, and while poking around I managed to stumble upon IMDB’s FTP Site which happens to have text files of their raw data. How long until someone slaps a web service in front of this? Cause apparently IMDB isn’t about to :) Perhaps I need to write an IMDBGenerator for Cocoon…
