Well, that was some first few days. There’s been a lot going on.
It’s been great to see people coming to Timetric and starting to build things we’d have never expected. By the way, hello to the readers of the Freakonomics blog at the New York Times! It’s great to see you all here, and we’d love to hear what you think.
On the subject of newspapers, the Guardian Open Platform launched today, and it’s fantastic. As a bit of a celebration, we’ve taken some of the data they’ve published and brought it into Timetric – the Guardian/ICM UK voting-intentions poll back to 1984…
(The Guardian/ICM UK poll: the Conservatives are in blue, Labour in red, the Liberal Democrats in yellow).
Hopefully, there’ll be some interesting correlations to draw from this data with, for example, the economic and crime statistics we already have on Timetric. We’ll be importing more of the data the Guardian are publishing when we get the chance – there’s some fantastic stuff there.
