Seen via my colleague Stu Weibel:*
April 20, 2010*—The World Bank Group said today it will offer free access to
more than 2,000 financial, business, health, economic and human development
statistics that had mostly been available only to paying subscribers.
The decision─part of a larger effort to increase access to information at
the World Bank─means that researchers, journalists, nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs), entrepreneurs and school children alike will be able
to tap into the World Bank's databases via a new website, data.worldbank.org.

I heard about and took at list site yesterday. It's done using Drupal
and apparently by the same folkes that developed the FeedApi and Feeds
modules (DevelopmentSeed). In any case, it's a really impressive site.
