Open Government data: Paradigm shift.

  1. Dr. Antsey’s eloquent, passionate appeal for government open data and transparency set the stage for the rest of the day, with brilliant speakers, open data stories from around the world, best-practices, open data advocates and evangelists, policy and technical panels tracks and discussions—and general buzz around the World Bank HQ. 

    Not to mention the attendees live tweeting and blogging. No sooner #IOGDC was trending on twitter with over 700,000 impressions within couple hours.
  2. Some precious tweets from earlier in the day that distill and capture precious nuggets of wisdom from the speakers and panelists are not accesible, but I found a few.
