Really great blog post with a great message and composition. As a testament to the theme I wrote an API over a weekend that returned ebola data and it has been very heavily used by people around the world. The astounding thing is that the World Health Organization, from whom I gathered the data, only offered it at the time in the form of PDF files. It's all open source if anyone's interested: https://github.com/montanaflynn/ebola-outbreak-api https://github.com/montanaflynn/ebola-outbreak-api

- pm90 12y agoDoesn't it cost you to host your server and data somewhere? That's not mentioned in the blog post, but I would love to get a ballpark figure for how much $$'s are going out every month to provide this service
