Map Out Government Data With DataMashe

On a roll here with some great stuff from the past few weeks on PSFK. Thanks again for highlighting the great work being done with http://www.data.gov/ & http://www.datamasher.org/

Earlier this year, we wrote about the creation of Data.gov, a site that allows access to a large amount of US government data. DataMasher is a tool that takes these vast quantities of information and allows you to whittle it down into simpler terms, offering an easy way to get hard data on certain topics without any intrusive media spin.

You can visualize and compare data state by state in various combinations (in map or list form), and contribute to the site by adding your own data sets and rating other users mash-ups.
