Vincent Granville replied to Sun's discussion 'Why is there no analytic jobs related to Internet news / newsfeed optimization?'

There's at least lot's of optimization in newsletter optimization, involving text mining techniques, to identify what are the best title keywords in terms of opening rate, best time to publish news, etc.

Social networks: is the growth real? A business opportunity.

According to several traffic measurement companies (Quantcast, etc.), Twitter's traffic is exploding, followed by LinkedIn, Facebook and other networks. Once you factor in and remove spammers, growth numbers look much more modest.

From our experience, we see very strong growth on Twitter, but after removing spammers, the growth is close to 0. LinkedIn shows a strong growth too, smaller than Twitter, but after removing spammers, LinkedIn growth appears much stronger than Twitter.

The next Internet revolution: news feed aggregation and optimization (it will create new types of analytic jobs)

Why did Twitter receive so much VC funding (more than $100 million), yet they barely make any money.

I believe that Twitter could be the new Google and the new source of information, in 5 to 10 years. Twitter could become the largest repository of news and content. The feature introduced this month - list management - is an extremely powerful mechanism to automatically generate targeted content in real time, and publish it on your blog, website, newsletter, network, etc. A very powerful SEO too… Continue

The Smart Grid, Predictive Analytics, and Cloud Computing

Everywhere you turn these days, you are bound to be faced with one of these three subjects: Smart Grid, Predictive Analytics, and Cloud Computing. This is no coincidence! With the advent of smart meters and sensors, the Smart Grid is becoming more and more part of our daily life. In the past, we would only realize how important energy was when the lights went off, in the future, we will be able to adjust our behavior to utilize energy in a smarter, more efficiently and less costly way.

As for P… Continue
