SPEND, SPEND, SPEND!
===================

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the new OpenSpending site (
<http://www.openspending.org/>
). The team have been hard at work over
the past few months, securing and uploading a massive new release of
Italian spending data in April, getting all that data.gov.uk data for
government spending over £25k put in, and creating some fab
visualisations. It was really exciting to see the site go live in time
for OKCon 2011!

The long-term aim of the project is to track every government and
corporate financial  transaction across the world and present it in
useful and engaging forms for everyone from a schoolchild to a data
geek. So if your country, state, or city isn't yet involved, we'd love
your help getting that data input from all over the world! Head over
to the site for more info.
