Open Data a tremendous success

Submitted by Attention PR on Wed, 2007-03-14 16:16.

Here is a little roundup of what people are saying about Open Data 2007.

Jeff Jarvis:

I’m at Seth Goldstein’s Open Data confab at the Reuters building. I love the mission on the wall: “Open data is to media what open source is to technology. Open data is an approach to content creation that explicitly recognizes the value of implicit user dat. The internet is the first medim to give a voice to the attention that people pay to it. Successful open data companies listen for and amplify the rich data that their audiences produce.”

Stan James:

The evening kicked off with a welcome from Seth Goldstein who then turned it over to Tom Glocer, CEO of Reuters. Not the company I would have expected to be interested in "Open", but he gave a great overview of how Reuters has a vested interest in this issue and are not de-facto against open data.

Mike Hirshland:

Really good event. There actually was substance. Only time in recent history that I can recall actually staying in the session most of the time.

Henry Blodget

The silver lining, he [Abdur Chowdhury] says, is that the incident raised awareness of the issue--and spawned conferences like this. Esther Dyson challenges this: Do people really know how much data is being collected? No, says Mr. Chowdhury. Then why release it, someone else asks? The goal, Mr. Chowdhury says, is to help people. Did it help people? An executive from Root Markets says he immediately tried to use the AOL data to spot patterns in mortgage searches, but that there weren't many patterns, so the exercise "quickly descended into voyeurism."
