Tip 16: Unleash the Data Dogs – Woofing Up Raw Insights!
In the data world, there are companies that are like the secret dog whistles of success. 🐶 Everyone’s itching to be like them and lining up for lessons. Here are a few of the raw data whisperers:
- Technology Companies: Think Google and Facebook – they’re like the data masters who hand out APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to developers, letting them get a taste of the data action for all sorts of cool applications.
- Mapping and GIS Data: Companies like Esri and Google Maps are the cartographers of the data realm. They publish geographic and geospatial data for all your mapping and location-based services needs.
- Financial Data Providers: Enter Bloomberg and Refinitiv (formerly Thomson Reuters) – they’re the financial data gurus. They publish all the juicy financial data and market insights, serving it up on a silver platter for investors, traders, and financial pros.
But here’s the real treat – raw data isn’t just a snack. It’s like getting a bonus treat, a by-product of what they do. 🍖 They’re not just tossing it in the corner; they’re using it in their core product. That, my friend, is a data product – fully wrapped and ready for action. 🎁 It’s like extra revenue from the same raw material. Now, who doesn’t love a little extra gravy on their data feast? 🍽️💰
