New federal CIO Vivek Kundra is in charge of the site, which will act as a central repository for government data, including XML, CSV, KML files and more. At launch a mere 47 data sets are included and they appear to lean towards the least controversial matters. None the less, it's exciting to see the effort happening. Hopefully some awesome mashups are on the way!

There are many, many sets of data available from the federal government but the Data.gov site says it was selective about quality and standards when choosing what to include. It's hard not to compare other sources of government data and feel disappointed, though. The privately built USGovXML.com contains far more data and was built by one independent developer over four months. That site lists ten Department of Interior XML feeds, for example, none of which appear on Data.gov. You can find a feed of food recalls there, but not on Data.gov.

Twenty six government agencies are represented in the catalog, though not all are offering raw data. The FBI is listed as a source but only offers a widget that can be placed on websites, not access to raw data.

New York Times data wonk Derek Willis pointed out that the initial offerings are non-controversial. "Most are from USGS, EPA and National Weather Service," Willis observed this morning. "No [data from] Department of Homeland Security, State or DOJ."

Likewise, a search of the data sets for keywords like food, prisons and drug all bring up zero results. Those are examples of particularly important topics because they are matters of justice and injustice - shedding light into dark corners where injustices are being perpetrated is one of the most important things that government data and the subsequent computer assisted reporting can accomplish.

There are no RSS feeds available for the whole catalog or search queries, something that would be very useful for tracking additions of new data. We expect that will change soon.

People will no doubt argue that some data is much better than no data, and while that's true: for a new federal office to engage with such an important topic with the weight of history and the whole administration behind it and then come up with something this limited is disappointing.

API and mashup watcher John Musser of ProgrammableWeb was more generous than we are about the initial offerings:

"They're off to an excellent start. It's a big step in accessibility of government data. As we've been seeing with other v1 gov-data efforts, like the recently available data on senate votes: step one is give people structured data like xml, step two (or later) is to make it available via an API. They have a healthy amount of metadata. The number of data sets is not that large, but of course it's just the beginning."

It is just the beginning and we applaud the launch of this effort. We hope that the initial launch will pale in comparison to the long term value of this collection of data.

The folks at Sunlight Labs, Google, O'Reilly/TechWeb and Craig Newmark just launched a new part of their Apps for America contest to build the best mashups and data visualization tools for data in the new Data.gov site. Check it out!

On May 1st South Carolina's Senator, Jim DeMint, officially asked the Senate Rules Committee to make the data available and just four days later the feed is here. Not everyone is happy about about the information being made publicly available like this, however.

John Wonderlich, policy director for the Sunlight Foundation, told Politico that the reason he's been given for the lack of XML feeds is this: "the secretary of the Senate has cited a general standing policy ... that they're not supposed to present votes in a comparative format, that senators have the right to present their votes however they want to...it's pretty bad."

Dave Lundy, acting executive director of the Chicago-based Better Government Association, told Politico again that: "It's a strategy to make information hard to find and hard to digest and hard to analyze...Call me a cynic, but I don't ... think [government entities] deserve the benefit of the doubt. We have ample experience to know that people try to hide information, even in plain sight."

Apparently, those problems were washed away this week by the tides of open technology. The Washington Post has offered something similar to what's now available for some time, but there's something to be said for what we hope will be a big, fat, official pipe of data.

We learned of the news this morning when New York Times technologist, Derek Willis, celebrated mention of the news by Rob Pierson, who yesterday began a new job leading new media initiatives for the House Democratic Caucus. The Sunlight Foundation said last week that neither the House nor the senate "maintain any reasonable database of lawmaker votes." The House of Representatives does release their votes in structured format, though.

Willis points out that the new Senate data feeds aren't perfect; the absence of Bioguide ID information linking Senators' names to their online profiles creates an unnecessary additional step for developers, for example.

It's exciting news none-the-less. "It's good to see high profile senators from both parties behind this," says John Musser, founder of the web's leading mashup and API directory, Programmable Web. "Those first steps are often the hardest. That is, just getting understanding of the value, getting buy-in and then having the data accessible in a developer friendly format. The next logical step is to wrap it in an API; having the XML is closer to having an RSS feed, there's not a lot of developer control of what data to retrieve. An API typically gives much more control over what data gets retrieved. Like 'give me all roll call votes for January 2009', versus 'here's the last 20 roll call votes.' Or all roll call votes by a specific senator, etc."

Musser says that he's seeing a broad movement towards increased access to government data. That work is being done by both official sources like this new Senate feed and the data-centric Recovery.org and by outside organizations like the Sunlight Foundation and the New York Times, work Musser is tracking closely.

What's left to open up? Check out, for example, this list of the 8 most desirable but unavailable government data sets, per Willis from the NYT. As of today, one of those can be checked off the list.

From May 19th to 20th, mediabistro will hold its Web 3.0 Conference in New York City at the New Yorker Hotel. The conference focuses on the semantic web, mashups, text and data analytics, and how they add real-world value to end users and businesses.

Keynote speakers at the conference include:

• Christine Connors, Global Director of Semantic Technology Solutions, Dow Jones;
• Aza Raskin, Head of User Experience, Mozilla Labs;
• Thomas Tague, Calais Initiative Lead, Thomson Reuters;
• Loren Grossman, Global Chief Strategy Officer, Rapp/Omnicom.

While some think of Web 3.0 as an almost science-fiction-like intelligent Web, the truth is that a lot of here-and-now technology can make your Web and corporate applications smarter and more profitable. This includes everything from extracting insights from customer behaviors to serve them better, to breaking down the corporate information silos spread throughout your company so that your business information can become actionable insights.

The next generation of the Web is about leveraging the massive amounts of information you have or intend to collect or find available on the Web to make more profitable, efficient businesses and services. This concept will be one of the major drivers of profit as we push past the "2.0" generation and seek the "what's next" of the Internet.

That's just what the nonprofit Sunlight Foundation is aiming to make more possible with its work to make government and related data more available with its new Apps for America contest. More than 40 open source applications and websites making use of that data entered the contest and today the six fabulous winners were announced. We've got a five minute screencast tour of the winners below.

Fillibusted - a site aiming to hold filibustering Congresspeople accountable for their actions.

Legistalker - a site that tracks news, Twitter, YouTube and other online activity by and about members of Congress.

HelloCongress - like Digg for Congressional priorities, with a twist.

Know Thy Congressman - a beautiful informational pop-up about Congresspeople that you can invoke anywhere you find their names on the web.

Yeas and Nays - a sophisticated Firefox plug-in that helps you click-to-call members of Congress.

E-Paper Trail - a data rich site to compare and learn about Congresspeople.

There are also a number of Honorable Mentions included on the Sunlight contest page.

Some of these look more useful than others so far but with a little extra support who knows? It's an increasingly data-driven world, but in order to truly get the most value out of that data the web needs interface and mashup developers. That's why it's such a great idea for Sunlight to support these and other developers the way they do.

Readability doesn't work on every site, but we tested it on most popular news sites and blogs, and it worked almost everywhere. Most of the time, Readability will also display comments when you are reading a blog post. While it displays most images, however, the bookmarklet sadly deletes every embedded video.

What About Those Ads?

Removing the clutter, of course, also means removing the advertising that a lot of sites need to run to make a living. For sites that rely on click-through ads, Readability is just about as bad as AdBlock Plus (or the more anarchic Add-Art), but sites that get paid per ad impression probably won't care too much about this, as the regular page still has to be loaded before you can activate the Readability bookmarklet.

Instapaper, which Arc90 credits as an inspiration, of course, also has a text-only reading mode for saved pages, but its focus is less on making the text readable and more on saving a copy of the page. Unlike Readability, Instapaper also doesn't display any of the images embedded in a text.

MP3 blog aggregator Hype Machine launched a new microsite today called the Music Blog Zeitgeist. There you can listen, for free, to entire albums from the most blogged-about musicians of 2008. Bringing together a whole host of different technologies to create one experience, the site is beautiful and a lot of fun to navigate.

Technology combined with Hype Machine's own aggregation and parsing includes:

• Imeem Flash players that let you listen to entire albums for free. Not thrown haphazardly on the site, either, they are displayed beautifully.


• Creative Commons photos of the bands are used to illustrate each entry. The effect is really nice. Reminiscent of what we've see at travel social network Dopplr but actually inspired, they say, by this similar city guide to Berlin.


• Blog Fresh Radio has produced embeddable "shows" about all the music, including interviews with the artists.


• Musebin has been used to automatically create 1 line album reviews, parsed from all the blog coverage discovered via Hype Machine. Visitors can click through multiple reviews without leaving the page.

Check it out at hypem.com/zeitgeist.

As you can see from the images below, there are some shortcomings to the system. It only parses single words (hate is presumably connected to crime, for example) and you can't click on those words to see the context they were used in. For a much more full-featured service regarding congress, see our coverage of the Sunlight Foundation's fantastic site OpenCongress.

Today Taylor McKnight launched a new site that he's been working on since Spring, and he says it's like Hype Machine for standup comedy.

The premise is simple, though the site doesn't offer any details about how it works on the back end. TheLaughButton aggregates stand up comedy MP3s and videos from around the web. You can listen to "editor selected" favorites, to a random selection or to the most popular short comedy files as voted by users of the site.

The four person team behind the site curates the large collection and it appears there's about a thousand audio files up now. That doesn't sound like so much, until you think about 14 from Bobcat Goldthwait, 53 from Dane Cook, 100 from Bill Cosby and 178 other comedians represented on the site. Who needs more comedy than that?

There's no account creation, at least so far, there's not much of anything beyond guffaws, voting and links to search Amazon.com to purchase full albums from the comedians you like.

Poking around the site, it looks like TheLaughButton may eventually enable visitors to grab widgets to display their favorite comedy on their sites and collect affiliate payments from album purchases made through their widgets.

McKnight says there's an iPhone app in the works as well - an aggregation of comedy and music content in one interface.

This All Makes Sense

Comedy is something people search for a lot on the web. Voting for the best comedy makes finding good content all the easier. Letting people put a widget of their favorite comedy on a site and sharing the money made from sales is a very smart way to spread TheLaughButton all over.

If McKnight and a loosely associated group of people who seem to be involved with the project are able to give it the push it will need to go beyond the inherent search power the content has - this site could end up doing well.

In the mean time, it's a fun place to hang out.

Keyboardr is crazy fast, too, which is somewhat surprising given that it's a mashup of so many different search engines. It even begins searching and displaying results as you type in the search box itself. That's handy because it means that you might not even need to complete your search query before you have the answers you need.

There are a couple of nice touches of this mashup, too, like the favicons next to the search results themselves and the ability to jump straight to the results from Google.com by opening a new tab. (You'll have to allow pop-ups on the Keyboardr site, though, so it can open new tabs).

In a way keyboardr is a lot like the experimental Google Search experiment called Accessible View, which lets you navigate through results with j and k, just like in Reader. However, that experimental search tool doesn't include the other mashed up pieces like keyboardr does. Nor do you have to commit to changing over the default Google engine you use in order to take advantage of it.

If you're not a fan of the new Google Wiki interface, this might be a good time to check out what other alternatives are out there. Give keyboardr a shot...you might just find your new favorite homepage.

Today popular online storage company Mozy announced that it has been merged by the company that acquired it with another acquisition called Pi (Personal Information) - into a new forthcoming service called Decho (your digital echo). Pi was founded by Paul Maritz, who is now the CEO of virtualization powerhouse VMWare. What do you get when you bring these kinds of stars together into one service? Only a few clues are available so far, but we're excited to see what Decho becomes.

Pi Looks Cool

The storage side of this arrangement, Mozy, is interesting because the company has almost one million customers and has been innovating in its marketing and services for some time. Much more interesting, though, is Maritz's stealthy former company Pi. Now a part of the new company Decho, Pi's web site contains little more than a tasty description of an unlaunched data-centered personal information service. The site says Pi intends to build on the metaphors of search, subscription, aggregation and publishing for both manual and automatic consumption.

See this paragraph, for example:

"One of the failings of today's tools is that it is hard to get back the complete context of a task. Think of being in a meeting and all the items of information that are relevant: presentations, a list of attendees, private notes by you, notes you wish to share, notes by others, action items. Today it is surprisingly cumbersome to capture all this information in a way that is easy to get back to, and if needs be share with others.

At Pi we intend to solve this problem."

API Level Innovation

Not much is known about what services Decho will create when Mozy and Pi are brought together, but the following slide from the PR deck sure looks interesting.

Though vague, that looks pretty hot to us. It looks like a turnkey point of entry for a whole world of innovation built on top of our aggregated personal data. Presumably the security emphasis found on the Pi site and in online storage service Mozy will carry though here, so Decho will allow for data owners to have complete control over access.

We don't know for sure what to expect, but we'll be watching Decho and the surrounding ecosystem of services closely in coming months.

Two years later Dapper has become a service I depend on, it's enabled me to do a significant portion of my work as a blogger and a consultant in ways that nothing else can. Today the company rolled out a new service that will help its own bottom line. Web 2.0 is fast becoming a story of awesome tools that didn't find a large number of users and had to slink off into the shadows of advertising sales - reduced to polluting social networks and young minds with insipid pop-culture content that really ought not even exist. Thankfully, that's not the case with the newly launched Dapper MashupAds.

You can check out the new service here and sign up for access here. The first 200 applicants who enter "RWW" in comments will get an account.

The core Dapper technology lets users point and click to identify particular fields on any website, monitor that field for changed content and receive any new content by RSS. There are other web page scraping tools out there, but this one requires no technical knowledge to use and supports authentication (it will log into a website for you).

The new Dapper MashupAds are something we first wrote about more than a year ago. The idea is that publishers can tell Dapper: this is the place on my web page where the title of a movie will appear, now serve up a banner ad that's related to whatever movie this page happens to be about. That could be movies, books, travel destinations - anything.

As you can see in the videos on Dapper's site, the resulting UI has grown much more sophisticated in the past year. The basic idea though is still that the resulting ads will be far more contextual to a page than they would be otherwise.

Semantics on the Back End

In the back end, Dapper will be analyzing the fields that publishers identify and will apply a layer of semantic classification on top of them. The company believes that its new ad network will provide monetary incentive for publishers to have their websites marked up semantically.

Once all that semantic markup is spread far and wide, all kinds of other fantastic things will become possible. The example we like to provide is this: if you ask a search engine today to show you all the book reviews across the web that were written by friends of yours who live in England, no search engine could likely do that. Semantic markup will make that kind of search trivial.

In the mean time though, someone's going to have to make some money marking up the web. Dapper's MashupAds may be a way for them to do that, to become financially viable and thus to live on to support their higher vision of making granular data around the web portable and machine readable.

In a time when we keep hearing heart breaking stories of company after company that descends into the lowest common denominator of also-ran ad sales networks, abandoning their original visions in a cloud of muttering about brands and consumers - we're really glad to see that Dapper seems to have come up with a cool ad tech solution that's more interesting than insipid and that could keep their basic tool alive on the web.

The Times quietly announced in May that it would soon be publishing APIs, which are means by which outside developers can access NY Times data for use in other applications, interfaces and mashups. We believe that steps like this are going to prove key if big media is to thrive in the future.

The Times describes its initial offering like this:

With the Campaign Finance API, you can retrieve contribution and expenditure data based on United States Federal Election Commission filings. Campaign finance data is public and is therefore available from a variety of sources, but the developers of the Times API have distilled the data into aggregates that answer most campaign finance questions. Instead of poring over monthly filings or searching a disclosure database, you can use the Times Campaign Finance API to quickly retrieve totals for a particular candidate, see aggregates by ZIP code or state, or get details on a particular donor.

The Campaign Finance API is currently limited to presidential campaign data. Future versions will include house and senate campaign data.

The demonstration application built with this API is a simple mashup of the campaign contributions and the Google Charts API, to create a graph of contributions by zip code. You know what we'd like to see? A Greasemonkey script that shows political contributions for a geographic area whenever a user hovers over that area's name on a web page. Would that be cool, or what?

The possibilities are truly endless.

We're very excited to see what kinds of data the Times opens up next.

Why APIs are Important for Newspapers

The UK Guardian is the best example of a newspaper that understands the opportunities in becoming a broker of machine-readable data, instead of just human readable content. Reuters is doing something similar with it's Calais program. (Calais is an RWW sponsor.)

Reporting is no longer a scarce commodity. It's hard for these huge news organizations to do it faster, cheaper or even as well as a whole web of new media producers around the world. They may be among the top sources for original content still today, but considering the direction technology is moving in - that's not a safe bet for the future.

One thing that big media still does have a particularly good share of, though, is information processing resources and archival content. The Times' campaign contribution API is a good example of this. The newspaper is far better prepared to organize that raw information, and perhaps offer complimentary content, than any individual blogger or small news publisher.

They, along with everyone's favorite API management service Mashery (again powering another exciting API), have the skills and the draw to offer this data in a way that a lot of developers will find compelling. When developers create applications that use their data, the Times will once again assert itself as an essential part of our information landscape - both in mind share and in inbound links/Search Engine Optimization for their online content.

Further, the times are changing and if you're not publishing for those readers of yours who happen to be robots - you're missing out on an important constituency.

We're really excited about the New York Times APIs and we look forward to seeing what kinds of innovative things the development community can do with them.

All parties involved in building the spec have signed a covenant of non-assertion, meaning that OAuth can now be safely implemented anywhere without concern about Intellectual Property lawsuits. If you think this is too geeky for you - try out the live demo embedded below.

The parties that contributed to building OAuth and have singed the promise not to sue are: Yahoo, Google, AOL, Twitter, Ma.gnolia, Citizen Agency, Wesabe, Pownce and Six Apart. Also signing as individuals were Eran Hammer-Lahav, Mark Atwood and Blaine Cook.

What is OAuth?

OAuth is a standard protocol for one web site to access user information on another website without asking the user for their password, but accepting confirmation from the 2nd site that the person is in fact who they claim to be. As Eran Hammer-Lahav, Open Web Evangelist at Yahoo! and OAuth point-man, told us tonight: "It is a way to build distributed services across multiple vendors while still keeping your data as private and safe as you would like it to be. You can limit it, for example - for time (like only one day), only read access, photos only and not videos, etc."

Why is this important? This is a key technical step towards making data portability real. It creates a path for users to move data they've created on one service into another service that can then offer new features or personalization based on what the users have exposed to them about themselves from elsewhere. It's a big ingredient in a recipe for innovation, in the form of mashups or otherwise.

How is it different than OpenID? It's a related, but different way to move data around. OpenID got a non-assertion covenant signed almost a year ago and provided, along with the Apache Foundation, the basis for the OAuth covenant. There's a whole lot that can be done with both of these protocols and we look forward to seeing them develop together.

What does OAuth look like in the wild? Below are two examples. The first is a screenshot of Yahoo's location based service Fire Eagle asking a user if they want to grant permission for another app to access their data on Fire Eagle.

Screenshot from Chris Messina.

The second example is a mock live demo of OAuth in an iframe, created by Eran Hammer-Lahav. A detailed explanation of this demo can found here.

Pretty awesome, no? So let's get the safe, granular data porting rolling! We eagerly anticipate a growing ecosystem of apps that do things with user data that were never possible before. As Eran Hammer-Lahav, who's been working on this full time at Yahoo! almost all year, says - the web owes him a beer.

Oh, the possibilities! Sometimes, though, it just doesn't pan out and our dreams are dashed against the craggy rocks of reality. Mashups are hard and just because you've got some cool data and good hooks for developers to pull from doesn't mean anyone's going to build anything worth using on your API.

]]> Such appears to have been the fate of news platform Daylife, a company funded by some of the biggest names in tech and new media. Daylife recently held a "developer challenge" giving cash prizes to the people who built the best mashups with their API. Unfortunately, the entries they got were awful.

Mashups Mashups Mashups

We learned about the Daylife contest today on Programmable Web, the leading blog and database about public APIs and mashups. PW must have felt obligated to be polite and just report on the contest, albeit weeks after the winners were announced.

We were really excited to learn about the contest - Daylife is a company with some good technology, offering news content with some structure to it. What could make more interesting fodder for mashups than structured news data? It turns out almost anything could, if you judge from what came out of it.

If you can't see the video above where we look at the mashup contest entrants, here's a Flash version.

To take a tour of all the applications discussed in the video, you can visit this link.

There Is Still Potential Here

The examples that came out of the contest are all relatively dismal, with the exception of the touchscreen news reading interface. Over on Programmable Web's page about mashups built on the Daylife API though, we found one very cool one. TreeHugger's GRNDX tracks media mentions of a number of words related to the environment. (No one cares about the environment this week, apparently, the Olympics are all anyone cares about.)

That's pretty awesome - even if Treehugger calls it more fun than scientific. Fair enough, but let's see more apps like this instead of the wacky stuff that dominated the Daylife contest.

The new design not only looks a lot fresher, but eMusic now also draws in information from Wikipedia, videos from YouTube, and photos from Flickr. EMusic is the second-largest online music retailer after iTunes, but it often doesn't quite get the coverage newer music sites like Pandora or Last.fm get.

]]>Sponsor

]]> Most of the effort of the redesign was focused on the album pages. The homepage has been updated in a few spots, but the overall layout hasn't changed.

In March, one of our commenters here argued that it was time for iTunes to become more social in the face of competition with Last.fm, Pandora, and the big social networks. While iTunes hasn't taken up this challenge, eMusic has and this redesign is the first step in this direction.

Better Album Pages

The new design for the album pages comes with a great number of usability improvements. It has now become a lot easier to bookmark an album or to add it to a list, for example. Both of these functions existed before, but they were relatively hidden.

Rating an album has become a lot easier too, as the ratings function, which also determines which albums eMusic recommends, is now immediately visible on the page, right under the cover art.

The new design also spotlights eMusic's own content more directly, by putting editorial reviews and interviews into the left sidebar.

EMusic is also in the process of updating all its cover art and will slowly make high-resolution images available for all of them. The highest resolution available will be 1400x1400, which almost seems like overkill, but it definitely looks good.

While the focus of the new design was clearly on pulling in information from the web, eMusic also added the ability to send out information to Twitter, or bookmark an album on Facebook, Digg, reddit, StumbleUpon, Del.icio.us, and a number of other social networks and bookmarking services.

Dig Deeper

The most important part of the redesign is the "Dig Deeper on the Net" section, which is collapsed by default. It contains links to entries in YouTube, Flickr, and Wikipedia, all of which display right on the site.

When we talked to eMusic yesterday, they stressed that they were trying to replicate what its users were already been doing anyway - going out to the web to gather more information on their favorite musicians. Given eMusic's focus on more obscure, independent bands, this makes perfect sense. Especially having the Wikipedia articles available gives users the option to dig a bit deeper into the history and background of an artist they might never have heard of before.

Verdict

EMusic's users have responded overwhelmingly positive to the changes so far. In my own experience, the new pages are a major step forward in usability. Just within the short time they were available, I rated and saved more albums that ever before, simply because it has become so easy to do. The new design puts a lot more emphasis on being visually pleasing, yet it is very usable at the same time.

There are still a few minor problems on the new site, as some albums didn't display user comments, some didn't display cover art, and the Flickr images sometimes refused to close, but that is to be expected with a major redesign like this.

One issue with the new design, though, is that the user reviews are now less of a focus of the album pages. Whereas before, they would take up the bottom of the page, they are now squished into the left sidebar and only up to four of them are displayed at any given time.

Coming Soon

For the future, eMusic promises to launch a new feature every month for the rest of the year, including a new recommendation engine, an updated homepage, and new search features. If they turn out to be as good as this re-design, then eMusic is definitely heading in the right direction, though its subscription model, while keeping the cost per track down, will continue to limit its appeal for a number of potential subscribers.
