Hey girl, it's data

So last week at Science Online 2012, the amazing Ruth Spencer and I rambled a bit about data journalism. The main product — still evolving — is this tumblr blog, which is our attempt to gather our thoughts and lots of resources for people interested in getting started in collecting, interrogating and visualizing data. It could have been called "Everything I know about data journalism I learned from ProPublica and the NY Times." But we decided to call it Speed Data-ing. Yes, it took us many iterations to come up with that one. This was one alternate title: But this was the REAL winner, which came to us via science write extraordinaire Ed Yong a little too late to use it this year. We are assured that's it's gonna be an option for #scio13.
