Hackers & Founders SV is hosting a hackathon[1] in two weeks at the Hacker Dojo in Mountain View. It's going to be geared towards working with Factual's open data API.

Factual's[2] goal is to provide an API to connect all those available data sets, and they have a fairly impressive list of data sets available. Factual is very interested in hearing what datasets you want to work with, and they are willing to bust ass to get them available before the hackathon.

We still have around 40 RSVP slots open. You can register here: http://factualhackathon.eventbrite.com/

how does factual make their money?


It's free for developers, but if you want premium access, or if you're a large corporation, then they have a paid version.
