GTFS Data Exchange — site for sharing the files that Google Transit collects from public transit agencies. This lets third party developers write apps that don’t involve Google.
Tenureometer — if you are what you measure, let’s build good measures. This is one for higher education, designed to measure scholars’ impact on their fields by counting how much they have contributed to the literature and how frequently those articles have been cited.
The Known Universe — rendered according to the best data science has. Beautiful.

It’s as naff as Spongebob and that silly multicolour Google logo!”
