DataMarket blog

I know, I know. A blog is neither the place nor the medium for press releases. I’m just too excited about this to not publish here what I’ve just pushed out through the wires!

Note the reference to a new major customer (and more to come) and all the exciting new things that are hinted at. I’ll give you a few additional keywords:

• Data Uploads
• Topic pages (build your own automated dashboards and reports)
• Group sharing and private content
• More end-user functionality for free
• World-leading premium data providers
• …and more

This is by far our biggest upgrade since the launch of the international data offering last year. We will publish in-depth descriptions and examples here as we launch next week.

So, here it goes. Please share this with your media contacts and friends:
