Everbody Let's Freebase

I’m amazed at how little attention is being paid to Freebase. Freebase is going to take off once it gets more traction. It needs several more large data inputs from sources like Wikipedia before it will start to take off. Now we have widgets for exposing Freebase data.
Mjt is an open source templating engine for pulling Freebase data onto your website or into an app. You add a few lines of javascript (the script lives at their site) and can pull in live information about people, places, movies, albums or anything listed. It’s still early, between version 0.4 and 0.5, but you can start using the service if concurrently logged in to Freebase.
Go upload some data and take the rest of the day off.
