I am not a big fan of the unstructured discussions on Twitter, so I have set up http://friendfeed.com/opendata , where threaded discussion is possible. Suggestions on how to make the feeds more useful are welcome. It also doubles as an archive for #opendata .
Note that http://friendfeed.com/open-data (i.e. with the dash) is, ironically, a non-open feed by someone I do not know. I have also set up http://friendfeed.com/data-publishing but it's a bit noisy still. Daniel On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 9:23 AM, Jonathan Gray <[email protected]> wrote: > *Fantastic*!
