Hey look, my employer is getting some HN love..

Every time I turn my back on freemium, something makes me turn my head again..

Sadly, I feel the same :). The catch-22 is that if the site is able to grab a user base, we'll be in a far larger company. I feel so torn...

I've been thinking lately of (finally) pursuing graduate studies, and data mining is an area that I find drawn to. Obviously Stanford is doing some significant research in this area, but I've been out of academia for 4 years and I somehow doubt I'd be a competitive applicant. Does anybody have personal experience with other universities/programs that are doing extensive research that they'd like to share? It'd be greatly appreciated!
