Is there an interesting database to download?

Question

I need a database of interests for the upcoming project. Speaking of "interests", I mean: Sports - football, basketball and so on ...

Does anyone know something like this? I just don't want to start writing thousands (or even millions) of interests.

Answer 1

Try google in your “list of interests” or “hobby list” and write a simple parser to extract everything (for example, based on neko-html). Examples of useful links:

http://www.notsoboringlife.com/list-of-hobbies/

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/list-types-of-hobbies/

You can also ask administrators of any dating sites to make a simple DB query to get the appropriate result.

Answer 2

There is an API from Google called Freebase. I allow you to offer the user what kind of input he should give just like a Google search, offers you what to look for.
