It looks like a curated list of various open, free to use data sets.
I agree though, while useful, seems like this should be embedded in the context of a short write up somewhere. Or, at least, have a title that's descriptive as opposed to what looks like a vague attempt and branding.
- dangwu 7y agoI've gone insane. I thought this was a bunch of links supporting the argument that the word 'data' is plural.
- weatherlight 7y agothis made me laugh out loud, thank you.
- TimSchumann 7y agoIt's just poor marketing/branding to anyone not in the know. Much like the name of the current site we're on, though maybe that's what they're going for. Titles like this are absolutely useless. I shouldn't have to click on a link and spend 45 seconds reading spreadsheet entries to figure out what it is I'm reading about.
- danso 7y agoFWIW, the Google Sheet has a "Notes" tab which explains the spreadsheet and its content: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wZhPLMCHKJvwOkP4juclhjFgqIY8fQFMemwKL2c64vk/htmlview?sle=true# https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wZhPLMCHKJvwOkP4jucl...
- jsvine 7y agoThanks for flagging this confusion. It's helpful to hear how this is perceived. Short answer: The spreadsheet is, indeed, embedded in a broader context. (And has a pointer to that context in the "Notes" tab.) Slightly longer explanation in my main comment on this thread.
