Public Sticky notes

magine what amazing applications would be created if every programmer in the world had free access to all of these data sets:

  • Map data for all countries in a relatively uniform data format
  • White pages data (names and addresses) for all cities of the world
  • Stock data for all major exchanges for all time
  • Movie showtimes data for all cities in the world
  • Television schedule data for all cities in the world
  • Sports scores and stats for all sports in the world for all time
  • Rich meta data for all musical albums and movies from all labels for all time
