DataMarket blog

So, we’ve been live with the international data offering for 3 days now. What an incredibly exciting time, and the feedback we’ve gotten has been absolutely wonderful. You guys make us DataMarketeers feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

Unfortunately I cannot share some of the incredible stuff we’ve been getting in emails, but here are some of the quotes from the online discussion:

Blogs and online media

• “Impressive, and interesting.”
  - The Guardian, technology blog
• “…the category DataMarket has stepped in has a huge global demand. People are sick of having to do a Google search to find information scattered across pages of the search engines and we searchers aren’t even sure whether this data is reliable enough or not. With DataMarket doing the hard work of pulling the facts and data from reliable sources, the job is eased to a large extent for anyone on the lookout for useful information.”
