Today many companies are providing analytics based on social media data. In order to do that every company has to get the data from different social networks like twitter, facebook, etc. It would be nice if we could go to one single data provider that would provide us with data of all social networking sites. That way every company doesn't have to build their own data infrastructure and can concentrate on analytics only and not on data fetching. http://www.gnip.com is one such data provider. Does anyone know of any more such data providers?
I can actually think of quite a few data providers like that. Gnip is obviously the big kid in the room...but a few others are:
http://www.datasift.com
http://www.collectiveintellect.com
http://www.spinn3r.com/ (Not as much of an all-encompassing aggregator, but should still work for the purposes you describe)
I'm sure there are others out there, but Gnip & these three (Datasift & Gnip in particular) seem like the biggest data providers of this sort.

I'm new to web developing and I want to make a web where the user fill in a few info and then get an answer from the backend. The info filled in is sent to the backend; the backend then process the info and send the answer back for display.
My question is how can I do it with the simplest possible framework? LAMP and GAE both seem ok to me in the long run, but is there any simpler framework good for my needs? I have also looked into LAMP provider like bitnami, however I can't find the application I need in the list of applications. If needed, I can program in Java.
Thanks! and please let me know if I need to clarify my question. I think what I'm asking is general guidance on setting up such a simple web.
Google AppEngine will work fine for your needs. You will need to program it, and Java works on GAE. Start with Java Tutorial and then gradually add your own server side processing. Of course many other web server platforms are possible, but users of GAE generally consider it to be very capable and easy enough to use. LAMP is likely to take you longer to learn.

We have analytics coming from several different services and need a place to combine all the data in a single display. Does anyone have experience with other services besides leftronic.com?
There are tons of options. Try InfoCaptor, it is free https://my.infocaptor.com
huge visualization library and connects to social analytics as well as databases
PS: I am the developer
We've used Leftronic and were quite satisfied with the product, but have since moved onto Geckoboard because the UI is much more elegant. You might also want to checkout Boarrd.

I am new to database schema design and I want to learn more about how a well-designed database scheme is implemented in the real world?
Is there any places to find those schemes? Or is there any book focused on explanation over examples.
DatabaseAnswers.org (unfortunately now defunct) but well-preserved in the Wayback Machine is a great source of example database schemas.
I can also recommend Beginning Database Design, published by Apress. I own this book and can confirm that it is of high quality. The book looks at a number of real world scenarios and explains the impact a certain design decision could have on the way the database works and the quality of the data and its output.
Finally I would advise building some small databases (E.G. contact management, Task list etc). Start by specifying some basic requirements and create some tables and queries. You WILL make some mistakes which is the best way of learning.
Here is a nice library of schemas to browse through.

I am relatively new in the field of Data Mining. I am currently doing Some Data preprocessing algorithms such as PCA and min max Normalization. Our professor said we could download the data sets available over the web. But at initial level I want a simple data set with relatively small number of attributes for my algorithm, and would then switch to various complex data sets.
Can anyone provide a link for simple data sets which you must have used in your data mining algorithms? e.g. something pertaining to marks of students, age, height etc or employee data of a company. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Researchpipeline.com
More and many more links here: Some Datasets Available on the Web
I used stackoverflow's data for my data mining class.
I am not sure this is going to help or not, but I gathered some websites that provided useful Data when I was working with recommender systems.
Here it is

I'm storing a variety of variables containing statistics, items weapons, etc in a flash based game. Currently I'm using PHP and AMFPHP as a backend, calling services to pull the data. This is fine for my own machine, even my own website, however if I want to deploy the game to a site such as Kongregate or ArmorGames, what storage method can I use at that point?
I have a small preference of continuing to use a database such as MySQL because I spent some time designing the ER diagram and schema, but if I have to store in a flat file, I can do that too. I'm especially interested in others who have deployed games which have data storage (such as inventory, characters, classes, items, mobs) external to their game.
Edit: Looking for answers as to whether people use remote services or another solution for deploying their games to sites such as this.
Perhaps you should peruse the documentation of the respective providers:
http://www.kongregate.com/developer_center/docs/shared-content-api
Not sure if armor games has any of that type.
I asked within Kongregate's developers, the answer is yes, I can use remote web services. The API unfortunately had nothing in it dealing with this issue.
You could use our backend Flox http://gamua.com/flox/. It allows you to store your inventories, characters, etc. It's not MySQL but based on a NoSQL database. However, since you'd be using the AS3 SDK, you would not get in touch with the DB anyway.
Also, I should mention that I am the lead developer of Flox, which may make me a bit biased. ;-)
