Data: It's not just for hackers and economists anymore.

Sometimes books get written as planned. Sometimes you give up. Other times you hire a CEO, raise funding and start up: http://is.gd/A6Rhyx

I'm thinking of organizing a regular meetup for Toronto folks looking to talk about open data. Interested?

[Pete Forde @dataliteracy]

It could be the very nature of data is such that it’s open in the first place. You can’t stop a free person from knowing that it’s raining.

Open data today is like the Yahoo! web directory circa 1995: lists of lists, all over the place — and it's unsustainable.

[Pete Forde @dataliteracy]

@thornley Lots of responses to your recent open data tweets; would you like to have coffee next time you're in Toronto?

[Pete Forde @dataliteracy]

@wmougayar actually, I'm neutral on LinkedData and the so-called "semantic web". Not the horses my cart is interested in; different domains.

Hello World from DataLiteracy.org HQ! After my talk at GovCamp the cat is out of the bag: I'm writing a book on understanding open data.
