      It's your lucky day. There are two data sets you can purchase for a decent price:

      - 30M news headlines and 500K web sources, 30gb of JSON data ($300)

      - 15K news domains that are the most popular in US market ($100)

      These were gathered by Andrew Montalenti, co-founder of Parse.ly. See more info here: http://pixelmonkey.org/pub/python-crawling-slides/

      The submitter included a link to a launch announcement, but the text field doesn't get posted when there's a url. Here's the link: http://www.pixelmonkey.org/2014/05/04/streamparse

      It gets worse:

      http://www.pixelmonkey.org/2009/08/21/chase-insecure

      Chase sent me this, too. If you visit the site in Chrome, it tells you it's a suspected phishing site.
