Woohoo, give me your data...

Give me your weary data, your sick data, your ....

This is huge to me: data.gov.

Why is it huge? Now there is more access to numbers and statistics from the government. This will allow the public to be more informed and for bloggers to have more tools to keep the government accountable. My only concern is that recently government programs of this type die a slow and painful death. This is compounded by the fact that current the website is a little light on data. However there is always hope. I hope someone puts together a website that does a good job of representing this data and allow for use to search it well. (Google, do you hear me?)
