 ====== Real-Time Data ======
-This is data that is as current as possible. For example, the current location of trains in [[project:transport_api]] are not exact in the sense of GPS readings, but predict the position at the current moment. If you know of similar sources, please list them here.
+This page links to examples of data that is as current as technically possible. If you know of similar sources, please list them here.
+**Transportation**
+The location of Swiss public transport in [[project:transport_api]] can be used to predict the position at any given time. This resource was built and is maintained by the Opendata.ch community. Meanwhile from the [[http://www.tpg.ch/web/open-data/forum/-/message_boards/message/7996780|Geneva public transport]] open API you can get measured locations and arrivals.
+**Social Networks**
+All large Internet communities [[http://www.internetlivestats.com/twitter-statistics/|generate tons of data]] and can be studied in close to real-time. For example, here is a visualization of [[http://www.lkozma.net/wpv/faq.html|live Wikipedia edits]]. You can get historical wiki data from [[https://snap.stanford.edu/data/wiki-meta.html|Stanford]] and [[http://aws.amazon.com/datasets/4182|Amazon]]. However, most other data is commercial and [[http://sifter.texifter.com/Home/Pricing|licensed for profit]].
+**Sensors**
+The Internet of Things is a movement to put all kinds of devices online, it is important that their data is accessible with high precision in time.
