You are correct.....recovery.org contains a plethora of information. I have read through it a number of times.

More than a commitment to "transparency", I am sure they are also interested in selling their services.....see http://www.onvia.com

Genius idea if you ask me. How many typos do you think led people to that site instead of recovery.gov? That's how I found it.

they are called "google on steroid" on NPR today.
to be able to provide the plethora of data/info, the site used a lot of resources on data mining and search, and data cleaning... so I give them the credit they deserve.

You point on typo was great. a lot of traffic routed there that way!

Without per capita data, that map is absolutely pointless.
