As a couple of you might know I am working on a project called DataMarket at Microsoft. DataMarket is a store/repository for data. We have a huge amount of statistics data, weather data, real estate data, and much more. Subscribing to data is as easy as buying a book online. After you subscribed you can use Visual Studio (or any other environment) to create an application that interacts with the data. All with a couple of lines of code!

 

To celebrate our V1 launch we announced a contest!

Visit the following page to learn how you can win an Xbox+Kinect or a couple of notebooks by building applications that leverages the data from DataMarket: http://www.codeproject.com/Competitions/460/Azure-DataMarkets-Competition.aspx

I am looking forward to see your contributions!

Go niners go and win all the prices!!

Hmm, what will this mean for other, existing Microsoft web services APIs like MapPoint?

For us the plan is to be a marketplace for all data you would need to build applications or do analytics (e.g. in Excel). Smiley

The marketplace right now is pretty balanced between public and commercial data. It's great to have both as both kinds of data sources are very interesting. Smiley
