July 30, 2009 from 6pm to 7pm
How are organizations and information professionals actually using tools like Twitter, Facebook and others to connect, share and find information effectively? How do they find the time to do it? In this session we will look at the real-life practica…

Hi Tristan,
Having never been to SCIP, I'd be interested in attending either an APAC version - or one in the States - but that would be dependant on there being more than a day and a half of conference. I, for one, would not be attracted to spendin…
Whoops ! I Haven't been paying attention Sean.
How did we counter the misinformation? We tried to be subtle, since we NEVER bag a competitor. But we put the sales force in possession of the information, and when last I heard - it was having effect.…

Craig S. Fleisher said… - Hi Leslie: It is all about the "I" in CI. I guessed your were at MGSM because you were a) doing a DBA, b) with an ICT background, and c) MGSM was the place most likely to have someone pursuing this course of inquiry. I did a major tour of Aussie post-secondary institutions (including AGSM, CSU, Griffith, MGSM, Melbourne, SGSM, and UTS, among half a dozen or more others over the last ten years and would have been surprised if you had been doing it somewhere else on the continent. Not to mention I am jealous of your studies there because you are currently enjoying beautiful summer days while I need to go out in our negative temperature (see the bottom of my page which actually lists the current unpleasant weather in Dearborn which is where I spend much of my time) to shovel snow on a regular basis this time of year. Good wishes on your studies. MGSM is one of my favourite Australian post-secs and it has qualified people like Chris there to help you with them! Craig

- Hi Lesley: Too cool that you are working on your DBA in OZ. Babette Bensoussan and Chris Hall and I go back a ways, and I am a frequent visitor to Australia. I lived in Sydney for a year plus and often wish I could figure out a way to do it again -- family considerations and the vast distance from Canada make it difficult for me. I wish you every success on your DBA, would always be wiling to help if I am capable of doing so (as I'm sure would a number of others in our community), and hope you'll keep us apprised of your progress. Kind wishes, Craig

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.
