A new social network uses what modern area of study as its common thread?

Data.world is a social network and collaboration platform for data scientists who want a way to discover new information and ideas, and work together. Sharing data is among the most important requisites for progress in the data science movement, and this website represents yet another tool to do that.

"Data.world's platform removes a lot of the friction and tedium from sharing data, which makes collaboration easier," Andy Terrel, chief technology officer at Fashion Metric, said on the data.world website.

Data holds great promise for society, the website's creators claim, and so data.world helps people to congregate around that hope and plan for a better tomorrow.
