Here is how to bring Data Mining to the mainstream: 1. Put big data (static or streaming) on the cloud (AWS, Google Base, ...) 2. Create beautiful/simple exploration and query interface 3. Fix query semantic ("cluster these objects", "find most similar picture", "continue sequence"), while working on better and better algorithms at the backend Examples of this approach: http://wolframalpha.com http://wolframalpha.com, http://viewer.opencalais.com http://viewer.opencalais.com, http://labs.google.com/sets http://labs.google.com/sets

As some one who actively works in this area. the problem with queries is that most of the algorithms that work require deep learning and not simple sql like syntax. I would love the data in simple csv format hosted on a cloud such as Amazon EC2 [for safety] rather than some beautiful interface by a latte sipping ruby hippy.
