<p><strong>A</strong> few weeks ago and then some, I [as occasional blogger!] got contacted by <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.datazar.com/" target="_blank">datazar.com</a> to write a piece on this data-sharing platform. I then went and checked what this was all about, having the vague impression this was a platform where I could store and tun R codes, besides dropping collective projects, but from what I <a rel="nofollow" href="https://blog.datazar.com/streaming-cloud-data-to-r-e06038243c10?source=---------0" target="_blank">quickly read</a>, it sounds more like being able to run R scripts from one’s machine using data and code stored on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.datazar.com/" target="_blank">datazar.com</a>. But after reading just one more <a rel="nofollow" href="https://blog.datazar.com/" target="_blank">blog entry</a> I finally understood it is also possible to run R, SQL, NotebookJS (and LaTeX) directly on that platform, without downloading code or data to one’s machine. Which makes it a definitive plus with this site, as users can experiment with no transfer to their computer. Hence on a larger variety of platforms. While personally I do not [yet?] see how to use it for my research or [limited] teaching, it seems like an [yet another] interesting exploration of the positive uses of Internet to collaborate and communicate on scientific issues! With no opinion on privacy and data protection offered by the site, of course.</p>
