Asking the wrong question about Data.gov

I hope the data.gov.uk guys are watching

Sites like Data.gov should be entirely honed to serve the needs of a small number of frustrated data seekers, whether from business, journalistic, research or social enterprise backgrounds…

…public data sites should serve the  hard core data-seeker audience most intently because I think that those seekers are also known as the people who will build the services that will get the data used by millions of people. They’re the BBC election night graph producer, or the next Julian Todd.
