Using Data to enhance Your Articles

on May 21, 2012
This guest publish is as simple as Conor Forces-Cruz of Factbrowser.com. Blogs, whitepapers along with other shareable content depend on supporting data—not because individuals just love a great color-coded cake chart (though they're pretty), but because amounts give tales shape. They add scale. They offer perspective. They evaluate that something significant is going on. Consider it: which statement can you rather share? Teens are texting constantly, more than ever before. The typical teen transmits

A Big Data Imperative: Driving Big Action

on Mar 12, 2012
A Big Data Imperative: Driving Big ActionIs there anything in the analytics space that is so full of promise and hype and sexiness and possible awesomeness than "big data?" I don't think so. So what is big data really? No one quite knows. As I interpret it, big data is the collection of massive databases of structured and unstructured data. The data sources include traditional (now considered puny) sources like corporate ERP/CRM systems and non-traditional (massive) sources like every technical ping from every human or mechanical

Who Controls Our Data? A Puzzle.

Who Controls Our Data? A Puzzle.(image) Facebook claims the data we create inside Facebook is ours – that we own it. In fact, I confirmed this last week in an interview with Facebook VP David Fischer on stage at FM’s Signal P&G conference in Cincinnati. In the conversation, I asked Fischer if we owned our own data. He said yes.

Senator Calls FTC to Probe Apple and Google on Mobile Privacy

Senator Calls FTC to Probe Apple and Google on Mobile PrivacySen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has never met a chance to get in the headlines that he didn’t like. His latest effort comes in the form of a letter to the FTC chair and wants the agency to look into mobile phone privacy in general. He has “specific” concerns that he was certainly briefed on (I wonder if he has truly experienced anything himself) but in the end this is likely to bring Apple into the fray (which they usually steer clear of somehow) while just bringing Google to another hearing in

Obama’s Framework for “Consumer Data Privacy” And My “Data Bill of Rights”

on Feb 26, 2012
Obama’s Framework for “Consumer Data Privacy” And My “Data Bill of Rights”It sort of feels like “wayback week” for me here at Searchblog, as I get caught up on the week’s news after my vacation. Late last week the Obama administration announced “Consumer Data Privacy In A Networked World: A Framework for Protecting Privacy and Promoting Innovation in the Global Digital Economy.”

The Biggest Mistake Web Analysts Make… And How To Avoid It!

The Biggest Mistake Web Analysts Make… And How To Avoid It!

The single biggest mistake web analysts make is working without purpose. We work very hard. We torture SiteCatalyst. We send out a lot of data. Then we resend it again and again. And yet our work results in very little impact on the business in terms of action taken by company leaders. Why this sad state? Almost always we dive into the ocean of data first. Sadder still, we don't ask questions later. We never ask questions.

Think Those Facebook Photos Are Deleted? Think Again.

on Feb 6, 2012
Think Those Facebook Photos Are Deleted? Think Again.We think that most people understand the fact that once you do something online it can be very difficult to make it go away. Just ask Bruce Clay about his issues recently around trying to take a site down in time for people to not tear it apart. The “magic” of the Internet has created numerous ways to still bring that site up even though it is no longer in existence. Ooooops.

EU Plans to Fund Recovery Through Data Protection Fines

Ok, it may be that I took a liberty or two with the headline. However, when you read what the EU (European Union) is “allowing” itself to do if a company violates their first update to their data protection laws in 17 years and then look at the state of THEIR union its not a very far jump to get to my conclusion.

Is 2012 the Year of Social or Security?

on Jan 16, 2012
Is 2012 the Year of Social or Security?We hear so much about social media. It’s the this and the that and all things in between of business. You can reach more, do more sell more, relate more etc.etc etc. It’s hard to argue this line of thinking. It makes sense and it is real but is it overshadowing what appears to be a much bigger concern which is less sexy but possibly much more important which is the security of the online space?
