    Hey Dan, Great article, Data Explorer is turning out to be a really interesting tool. Our DaaS platform, www.quandl.com has a lot of potential to work with it, as we have over 4 million datasets that can be pulled in through DE, or other tools and packages. We're currently trying to figure out how it can integrate best, but for you or any readers looking to try it out, any of our datasets can be used with it right now. As well, I'd love to hear any feedback on the service. Cheers, Sean
