Two new startup ideas: online reputation protection, social network competitive intelligence
#1 Online reputation protection
Helping companies find bad comments posted by disgruntled employees or competitors, and fight back by diluting the bad content, via automated posting of positive messages in relevant blogs. Also helping individuals recover from postings (from themselves or other people) that might…

Predicting Space Weather
Scientific theories have discussed how a butterfly in Asia flapping its wings can lead to a tornado on the other side of the world. So it’s no surprise that Mason researchers in astrophysics are examining a hot eruption on the surface of the sun that causes GPS systems on Earth to go haywire.
Eruptions on the surface of the sun, some as long as five times the size of Earth, are highly magnetized and emit radiation, all of which can damage man-made… Continue

Comscore Blackmail: Pay Us $10,000 Or We'll Keep Under-Reporting Your Traffic
Comscore has finally caved to a decade of complaints from web publishers that its traffic estimates woefully undercount site traffic, thus producing a vast disparity between Comscore numbers and the numbers the sites have in their logs.
Now, Comscore is finally going to change the way it counts traffic, thus, hopefully, bringing the numbers more in line with reality.
(Comscore extrapolates overall usage from a… Continue
Next Best Models: The Process Agility Equation
You never know what’s coming at you next, which is why process agility is so important. Your organization must have a ready response for anything. And you must make sure that every process participant can identify, at their level, what that response might be, so they can take appropriate action.

Mining the Cloud? Are You Allowed?
I recently came across a trade-press article with the headline “Mining the Cloud.” The cynic in me immediately issued a silent scoff: How is that different from “crawling the Web”? Are we just mapping old wine to shinier new bottles? Or is there something different here?
But, seeing as how…

Modern vs. old fashioned web metrics and KPI's
But let's say that you run a niche social network, and revenue is generated from advertising. The old-fashioned way to think: the more users, the more members, the more page views, and the more money you can make. This is true: all these metrics are proxies for revenue, as long as you filter out non human traffic… Continue

The tragedy of anti-data leadership and dataphobia

IBM made a major move into data analytics by establishing a new organisation "Business Analytics & Optimization Services" with 4000 people in it.

5 Things You Can Learn About Analysis from the Intelligence Community
Businesses have a large and growing need to analyze data. This is no easy task today with the exploding volumes of data pouring in from everywhere, and the enormous pressure to turn these mountains of data into information that can be acted upon quickly.

Detecting Novelty in Twitter Posts
A question one could come up with is the following : How can we easily identify and extract novel information from the web? Although we could apply this "novelty detection" into many areas i would like to discuss for now the idea of semi-automatically identifying novelty among posts on Twitter.
