But these bits of code tend to break, get thrown away or forgotten once they have been used, and so the data is lost again - which is bad! ScraperWiki is an online tool to make that process simpler and more collaborative. Anyone can write a screen scraper using the online editor, and the code and data are shared with the world. We are a Channel 4 [4iP] project and we are in the Beta phase of the project. </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.1px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; min-height: 15px; "><font style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></font><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.1px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Lucida Grande" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Lucida Grande; letter-spacing: 0.0px">If you love the start up pace and are ready for a challenging but rewarding opportunity, this is for you.
