  1. @doug_laney 1996?
  2. @piewords starting when?
  3. @thebillp Like the late great industry analyst Leon Trotsky said,"Some questions are answered merely by being asked."
  4. @piewords Topic, of course. The tech will live forever. I talked to a company the other day still using Pick
  5. What's the half-life of #bigdata?
  6. @nenshad Or it could be calculated. If you deny you're pregnant, then they know something else about you
  7. I don't have much good to say about George W Bush, but I believe the man does not have a racist bone in his body.To his credit
  8. My wife gets on plane today w/no ID, just opened mail bottle of pills. "These are not the droids you are looking for." does it all the time
  9. In a potted pine tree just outside my front door. It's that time of year. twitter.com/NeilRaden/stat…
  10. My neighbor and Nobel laureate Murray Gell-Mann is fond of saying, “The job of a scientist is to generate wrong ideas as fast as possible.”
  11. @InfoMgmtExec Hopefully, but it's not automatic. That's what I'm getting at. Don't leave them at the Jordan River, get them across
  12. @InfoMgmtExec Actually, I'd call #analytics the mid-game. The question is, how to you get value from being informed?That's the end-game.
  13. Malcolm Gladwell on overcalibration and overconfidence: 6seconds.org/2009/06/28/mal… Worth considering in our business #BigData et al
  14. Big problem. #analytics - 500k hits on Google. #bigdata - 1.5M hits. Bigdata is worthless without analytics, the former #1 topic, now fading
  15. @markmadsen Yeah that was my point. hahahahaha. OK, just kidding, you're Tier 1 in my book
  16. Apparently something is broken on the Hiredbrains.com home page, but all whitepapers can be accessed here hiredbrains.com/index.php?opti…
  17. RT @ajbowles O NR>> At your age, I guess that's worth sharing
  18. @ajbowles "A man in upstate New York charged with driving motorcycle at nearly 200mph" Didn't realize you were in such a hurry to Boston
  19. [3] Limits of "self-service BI" today are some measure of explortion and interactivity, combined with viz and some easy sharing. Ain't much
  20. [2] Self-service BI you need the man behind the curtain. Data access controls, define metadata, data security, maintain changes, etc.
