I really need to get that "World time watch". :-) Looking forward to our "Off-Line" conversation. PS. Since I am new here, how is that done best? In the "Friends" area?
Thanx Scott.
Got my avatar, at the event coordinate. No one here, so I either have my time wrong, or need to learn a little more about Second Life. I am in front of Info Island Teleport board, but can not find the "auditorium". Going to bed now, but…

- Hi Johann - thought I'd message you more directly :) I think if we're connected as Friends here we can message directly. Also, you can just contact me directly at scott@socialinformationgroup.com - probably easier :)
I find the World Time Clock at http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock VERY handy (because I have a hard time even keeping US time zones straight :) and they have a fixed time calculator which makes it really easy to see exactly what time things happen.

Walter,
I can answer this one. Ok, first "big data" players usually means HP, Oracle, SAP, IBM. These firms are extraordinarily good at handling structured data (ie numbers) in relational databases, but they don't deal well with unstructured data,…
Oh, they are doing CI, lots of it, but they call it other things, like Data mining e.g. They solve many of the same problems but from an engineering perspective

I've been turning this one over and can't find a satisfactory explanation.
Why don't we see more 'big data' players doing CI consulting. It seems to me that companies like Google, with absurdly comprehensive environmental data, doing more to move…
Hey Eric,
Very nice, I really like your critical dissection of the author's convoluted and ultimately flawed, thought process which you laid out very articulately. Precisely right, what exactly is the difference here? The issue of direct vs indirec…

Bill, I'm having trouble imagining you being pilloried for posting jobs during a global recession. I hope we have lots of trouble of this sort coming!
So, to take this author's point:
Gathering, analyzing and disseminating information sponsored by a major media source financed directly by a combination of pharma, oil, and automotive companies: ethically honorable.
Gathering, analyzing and dissem…
