Would this be the beginning of a trend? The folks at Webster Pacific LLC have started a data aggregation site in Swivel's vein: Data360. They're stated aim for this site (still in beta):
Data360 has been created with two purposes: First, we hope that Data360 will help provide clear context to important cultural, environmental, social and economic issues. Second, Data360 is a tool for any organization to report on their internal performance with slideshow graphs for key business metrics.
The site does not have the same community building flavor of Swivel but does a great job of aggregating data and allowing users to access it. Navigation is also easy.
All in all it's a great site to help you nurture your inner geek.
Adelino - Thanks for the post. We really appreciate your thoughts on Data360. If you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to email me...how we can improve the site or if you have data you'd like to share...or if you know of someone that has data to share...Regarding marketing, we will be using our site within a couple months as a tool to track customer surveying. Let's stay in touch. Best regards, Tom Paper
