Welcome to ChattaData

ChattaData consists of a Twitter feed and this blog. ChattaData on Twitter will feature data and information about the Chattanooga area. Its people, places, history, events, and any other items of interest. The blog will expand on some of these numbers, but will also reflect my exploration of data and information and how it continues to change our lives. Additionally, public data sources will be discussed as well as data graphing and visualization tools. There are many good resources for these tools out there, but here they will be used to reflect on local and regional data.

These numbers will give us insight into where we are and who we are. Additionally, the sources of these numbers may reveal a regional metadata. That is, information about our available sources of data and information.

In doing all of this, we inevitably learn things about Chattanooga, but this cannot be done without also placing us in the bigger contexts in which Chattanooga lives. Hamilton County, Chattanooga MSA, TN, USA, Spaceship Earth.
