    Updated: 2010-10-28 15:49:52
    Snagging a few minutes to catch up on email brought me to a Newslib post announcing NPR librarian Kee Malesky will be on today’s (10/28) national radio call-in show Talk of the Nation to discuss her new book All Facts Considered. Rumor has it she’ll be on during the second hour*, which begins around 3 [...]

  • Teradata announcements made very simple

    Updated: 2010-10-26 03:58:23
    For reasons of health,* I very regretfully canceled my trip to what is the first conference to go on my schedule every year — Teradata Partners. From afar, I’m not plugged into the details of Teradata’s announcement/embargo schedule. But what you need to know starts with this: Teradata signaled a year ago that its software focus [...]

  • Open Source and the “three forces” model.

    Updated: 2010-10-25 16:45:06
    The speech I linked to in my last post highlighted three social forces: the hierarchical delegation of power via governance the horizontal dispensation of wealth via the marketplace and the social behaviors associated with community membership.

    Time for a notes/links/comments post just for Text Technologies: TechCrunch got sold, GigaOm raised money, and VentureBeat/MediaBeat provided a good starting link for both those stories and more. Since TechCrunch and GigaOm are/were both private, financial details are murky, but: TechCrunch is variously reported as having revenue in the $6-10 million range, probably mainly from events. [...]

  • The privacy discussion is heating up

    Updated: 2010-10-24 09:55:17
    Internet privacy issues are getting more and more attention. Frankly, I think we’re getting past the point where the only big risk is loss of liberty. More and more, the risk of an excessive backlash is upon us as well. (In the medical area, I’d say it’s already more than a risk — it’s a [...]

Evidently Mike Olson of Cloudera is still telling the machine-generated data story, exactly as he should be. The Information Arbitrage/IA Ventures folks said something similar, focusing specifically on “sensor data” … … and, even better, went on to say: Privacy [...]
