A thought: There are all these services that will dump personal data (location, exercise, activities, music prefs, “likes”, bookmarks, etc.) into your facebook or twitter stream, but nobody wants to see that crap there. It’s not (generally) social data. It’s useful to collect and aggregate, but only for the individual or perhaps a small circle of friends. Why isn’t there a place where this information can be dumped so it won’t clog the social networks? Like a personal informatics version of a Twitter/Facebook that has no social component but can be tied in to all the APIs easily. #lazyweb
DataJamming.com, inspired by the work I did with my former colleague Paul Blumenthal of the Sunlight Foundation, is a collection of graphics, thoughts, and ideas relating to the realm of publicly available data. — @kerryrm
