After months of work, we’ve just pushed live the new version of Freebase. This constitutes a massive overhaul to the site; besides a fresh coat of paint and a shiny new logo, we’ve rethought from the ground up ways to get people engaged with the data they care about.

Of particular note is the new push to what we’re calling bases: smaller ecosystems within the Freebase biosphere that allow data enthusiasts to focus on a specific area of interest. I’ve created a handful of bases already, including one on surfing as well as another on scuba diving. Check them all out and make one for yourself!
