Today Reddit launched a Subreddit dedicated exclusively to data sets. This, in the words of Joe Biden is, a “big f’ing deal.” When we have people striving to gain access to data (one of the federal government criteria for deciding which datasets should be released is public demand) and others curating it so it can be explored and creatively (and reasonably) exposed, big things start to happen.
In other news, I’m now working for the New York Public Library, where promoting access to information and making it accessible, useful, and engaging is what underlies the work we do every day.
