You need to first trigger the export from the website, THEN the zip will be available for download.

It definitely still works. The user has to have requested the link for the file to exist.
I requested mine, so as you can guess it is downloadable by anyone.

alright this is just sloppy then ಠ_ಠ
Re: Download Public User Data with Oink's Export Tool
#35Whether or not it's public content and the privacy policy says it is, Oink botched it.
If they were going to release all the data they should have said so.
The archives not being generated until a user triggers the export indicates to me that it's just sloppy coding.

#36Relevant piece for those who can't access the page: So, curiously, I tried replacing my username with Kevin Rose’s: http://oink-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/kevinrose-export.zip (go ahead, click it). You’ll get a zip file of every item he has ever added, rated or reviewed. You’ll also get every photo he has ever uploaded to Oink.
Looking at all the pics that Kevin has uploaded made me incredibly hungry. He has eaten some nice looking meals.

#37All the data is public. You could probably get it in a less concise form from Google.
There is no story here, other than "Oink allows the public to download public data".
Re: Download Public User Data with Oink's Export Tool
#38Whichever "pg" they have (not the real PG it seems) likes thai, vegan, vegetarian, indian including: Vegetable Delight, Tacos, Special Vegetable Curry, Pasta Primavera, and Damascus Hummus. Also noted a book "Notes from Underground". And provided a picture of some food labelled "Amazing".
Four square ids in the export's contained csv can be mapped to real locations via Google by searching for: https://foursquare.com/ put_id_here
All of the pg reviewed items were from restaurants in Columbia, SC.
They should probably close this hole.
BTW- Kevin Rose's favorite food is Filet Mignon at Switch Steak, 3121 Las Vegas Blvd. S (Inside Encore), Las Vegas, NV 89109 and he eats fries he likes frequently at Zuni Cafe, 1658 Market St (at Rose St), San Francisco, CA 94102

Privacy has a way broader social and legal meaning than the dictionary definition of the word. Narrowing it down to a oneliner from a dictionary is not particularly constructive.

Go to https://twitter.com/#!/speg and you can see all my tweets.
How is that different than going to http://oink-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/speg-export.zip and getting all my Oinks.
I never read the Oink privacy policy because I assumed everything was public. It's kind of weird that they let you download anybodies -public- data, but in order for it to be a breach of privacy, it would have to be private in the first place.

> It would almost certainly be a breach of the law in most Western countries.
Twitter already let's you download someone's tweet in a .json file. Are you saying that twitter is almost certainly breaking the law? Or is it something specifically evil with the .zip file?
We're not saying you should "just do with it whatever you like". What they're specifically doing is making it publicly available. Which it already was, because that's the definition of what public means. As the previous poster pointed out.
Public domain is not protected by copyright. Most countries (though not all) explicitly differentiates the laws of what's public and what's copyrighted. Usually, both are mutually exclusive.
