Freebase is a much discussed database mostly aimed at developers. However, there are some interesting metaweb implications in a system such as this. The Wikipedia article describes Freebase as “an open shared database of the worlds knowledge,” and “a massive, collaboratively-edited database of cross-linked data.”
If you’d like an invite for the Alpha program, I’ve got 5 to share. First come first serve. Email me (sam@costpernews.com), Twitter @samharrelson, IM me, Skype me, call me, Pownce me (oh wait, I’m not cool enough to get an invite there yet) etc etc if you’d like one.
