# Sifttter: An IFTTT-to-Day One Logger by Craig Eley 2014 <http://craigeley.com>
# Based on tp-dailylog.rb by Brett Terpstra 2012 <http://brettterpstra.com>
# 
# Notes:
# * Uses `mdfind` to locate a specific folder of IFTTT-generated text files changed in the last day
# * The location of your folder should be hardcoded in line 53
# * Scans leading timestamps in each line matching today's date
# * Does not alter text files in any way
# * Changes ampersand ('&') to 'and' so the script keeps running

"Twas the night before #hackforchange, when all through the house Not a keyboard was stirring, let alone a mouse. The datasets were loaded in their APIs with care, In hopes that developers soon would be there."

OK, now that I've embarrassed myself, time for introductions. I'm Chris Metcalf, Socrata's developer evangelist. I've been coordinating our efforts and those of our customers over the past weeks in preparation for this event and we're all super-pumped to be a part of it.

What is an open data business?

• An organization that uses open data as a resource to be refined, improved, or augmented to provide additional value
• If access to the open data is later limited or removed, the business will be adversely affected

How do we measure the the impact of open data businesses?

• is it the value they add?
• is it the value of the business?
• how do you set a value on data that is free?
