In today's Wall Street Journal...

<snip>
The market for personal data about Internet users is booming, and in
the vanguard is the practice of "scraping." Firms offer to harvest
online conversations and collect personal details from
social-networking sites, résumé sites and online forums where people
might discuss their lives.

The emerging business of web scraping provides some of the raw
material for a rapidly expanding data economy. Marketers spent $7.8
billion on online and offline data in 2009, according to the New York
management consulting firm Winterberry Group LLC. Spending on data
from online sources is set to more than double, to $840 million in
2012 from $410 million in 2009.
