The Tampa Bay Times (feel free to use our name) is using PANDA as a data store for:
Regional voter registration data
A newsmakers collection of 55K names, which is matched hourly against arrests in six counties
statewide list of law enforcement personnel
Reader letters (published and unpublished)
State license data (CPAs, pilots, veternarians)
The letters and newsmakers datasets are updated via cron jobs that hit the PANDA api
Despite my person enthusiasm for this app, I'm still having trouble getting people to use it. I don't understand it -- it's such a friendly and useful resource.
2) Make it work in Firefox (currently hides search results, at least for us).
