This is a simple way to Sync a folder with Amazon S3 for a nightly backup - this is all to be done on your server :-)
this is for Centos 5.6, see http://s3tools.org/repositories for other systems like ubuntu etc
# Install s3cmd
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
Inspired by the police.uk crime maps, where they cleverly cluster data together depending on how far zoomed in you are, this MySQL snippet goes a long way to explaining the logic behind such an operation.
This snippet groups sites to a perfect grid while the police.uk algorithm has some sort of trickery that moves their points about somewhat, looking at their blogs and documentation I would conclude that they have a predefined set of points, each with a catchment area of postcodes. It looks like a whole lot of scraping and manual labour went into their database and quite frankly I don't have the time nor inclination do attempt such a task.
