Google had a neat feature related to this in implementation but not goal since 2007ish. It was called Google Datasets and let you mail in a hard drive. Google would then host the data on the web. It's audience was purely academic, though... no money exchange involved.
Anyway, it got cut back last Fall. Cool to see it's still living on in some form.
- danw 17y agoOh that's a shame, I didn't know it had been cut. Amazon has a similar scheme "Public Datasets", that store data as an EBS rather than an S3 bucket http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/ http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/
