Requesting Public Data is a Thing of the Past

Twitter is used for news, commentary and just sharing pictures. But it also provided a forum for a town hall discussion on the use of open data. "We have a lot of data and all of our data is public data, and we get requests for data all the time," said Jane Nickles, City of Greensboro IT director. To help alleviate the amount of requests, the City of Greensboro's IT department got a feel for how an open data portal is used in other cities.
