Is there any blog and / or link where I can get regular updates on the release of latest open data sources across world?

4While it may sound stupid, you could probably get some interesting results by setting a Google Alert on terms like 'open data' and 'public database'. – Niels Keurentjes May 22 '13 at 11:34

@NielsKeurentjes, that's an helpful idea that is alos mentioned in another question about how to find open data. Following a search on Twitter for Open Data or #opendata could also be useful. – Sophie Raseman May 22 '13 at 17:52

There are two additional options here.
- If you know of an open data portal for a country or topic you are interested in, many allow you to subscribe to their data updates or releases.
- If you do not know that a source exists and are looking for one, several aggregator sites are referenced in a recent answer to your related questions on international aggregators for NGO data. Additionally, on Data.gov we track official government open data portals, and I can certainly look into creating a subscription feed there.

Check out http://databullet.in. It's operated by Knoema/The World Bank but aggregates data releases as they occur from about two dozen different sources.
Also, I would recommend Quartz's Atlas for newsworthy datasets, Graphiq for even more journalistic-geared dataset releases and the social network data.world.
