DATA.GOV and DATA.GOV.UK BlueButton – Opening up Government

The Government is releasing public data to help people understand how government works and how policies are made. Some of this data is already available, but http://www.datagov and http://www.data.gov.uk/ brings it together in one searchable website. Making this data easily available means it will be easier for people to make decisions and suggestions about government policies based on detailed information.

We’re getting ready to launch the MyGov private beta. Sign up to kick the tires. https://my.usa.gov/
