President Obama changed the way technology is being used right from his presidential campaign to his tenure in the White House. Obama made extensive use of technology to reach out people through Twitter and other social media outlets.
And now, President Obama is trying to revolutionize the way the collected data by the US Government is accessed by the public through his new venture – Data.gov
A few days ago Obama sought financial advise from technology leaders like Twitter CEO Evan Williams. So Data.gov may have been the outcome of that meeting? Maybe.
The Data.gov project will be lead by Vivek Kundra. Vivek says that he plans to revolutionize technology in public sector. The project will support and make use of open-source formats. Data will be available in more independant form like XML for better and wide-scale manipulation of these data sets.
