Freebase.com (alpha) invitations [All gone!]

[EDIT] I’m out of invites- but do check out Freebase when you get a chance! [/EDIT]

So I’m in on the alpha of Freebase.com and have a couple of invitations to give away.

It would be interesting for any Web enthusiast to check out, but would be especially exciting if you’re a developer who likes to play with APIs. Does that sound like you?

The first two people who drop me an email at the address on this blog’s right sidebar will get an invitation.

What’s Freebase.com? Think of it as a Wikipedia for structured data with powerful API tools that’ll let you build applications from it. It appears to be insanely cool.

Free + Database = Freebase
It’s about film, sports, politics, music, science and everything else all connected together. Our contributors are collecting data from all over the internet to build a massive, collaboratively-edited database of cross-linked data. It’s a big job and we’re just getting started.
