How does it work?
What benefits can a marketplace offer?
An existing customer base, hungry for products in your niche.
Less to focus on so you can devote your time on product development.
The ability to validate and test your ideas at a smaller, cheaper scale.
The ability to see your product’s true value.
In a matter of minutes you can have your product in front of millions of prospective customers. All the initial work of building an audience and preparing a site is gone.
... Like an iTunes for Data
It is a place where data can be programmatically aggregated, searched, licensed, accessed, and integrated directly into a consumer website or application. One might call it the “iTunes of data.” It’s not just the content that is valuable, but also the convenience of the distribution channel and the ability to pay for only what you will consume.
An iTunes for data could be priced from a single record/entity to a complete data set. And it could be licensed for single use, caching allowed for 24 hours, or perpetual rights for a specific application.
The marketplace facilitates competitive bidding, which will bring the price down for developers. iTunes is based on a fairly simple set-pricing model. But, in a world of multiple data vendors with commodity data, only truly unique data will command a premium price. And, of course, we have great search technology to find the right data or data API based on the developer’s codified requirements: specified data schema, data quality bar, licensing needs, and the bid price.
