Algorithms are valuable, but in the scope of machine learning what is becoming increasingly valuable are data sets.
The algorithm is one very important building block but a good data set is what finally allows you to materialize a solution.

Instead of an algorithm store, have a dataset store. I wanna buy a dataset of 1 million tagged stackoverflow questions. I wanna buy a dataset of 1 million random Amazon reviews. I wanna buy a dataset of 1 million blog comments. i wanna buy a dataset updated monthly of billions of new urls found in the web. data, data, data.
with data I can come up with a crude algorithm that works in a day. with no data, not even the most sophisticated algorithm will work.
