My impression of this site is "Data 2.0." I like that the data is organized by category, you can upload and download data, and it has graphing capabilities. It could be a little stronger on the mapping aspects, but if you find the data you are looking for here then it is worth it. Also, there may be social aspects to this site that I have not explored yet. Similar to the geocommons finder without the mapping component.

US data

This webpage is from the folks behind geocommons finder and maker. I like this economy dashboard because it is simple and it appears to have up-to-date information (as of March 2009). The other nice aspect about geocommons in general is the access to the tabular data, and also to shapefile format for use in GIS.
