I like #1. Just can't imagine a company in my little Slovakia willing to pay for such service. Language challenge puts me off thinking in international's dimensions.

Also helping individuals recover from postings (from themselves or other people) that might harm their job prospects.

#2 Social network competitive intelligence

Traditional measurement companies (Alexa, Quantcast, Compete, Comscore) use old-fashioned and incons… Continue

Recently, resea… Continue

Posted by James Kobielus on January 14, 2010
