The Data.gov site has been live for a few months now, and it's turned out to be quite an interesting resource. The Obama administration should really be commended for getting this operation up and running in such a short time. For those who've not seen it, this is basically a data repository for Americans to use as they see fit. In an uncharacteristically governemental fashion, the site describes itself quite succinctly:

The purpose of Data.gov is to increase public access to high value, machine readable datasets generated by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. Although the initial launch of Data.gov provides a limited portion of the rich variety of Federal datasets presently available, we invite you to actively participate in shaping the future of Data.gov by suggesting additional datasets and site enhancements to provide seamless access and use of your Federal data. Visit today with us, but come back often. With your help, Data.gov will continue to grow and change in the weeks, months, and years ahead.

Just about every major enterprise in America can find info here that can be put to use. This is probably the only time I've ever felt like my tax dollars are being used for good!
