  1. RT @raybeckerman @indigenous_news Unbelievable. YouTube suspended @CarlosQC's accounts. blogs next?http://is.gd/1A3XB -so much for not evil
  2. @merv The challenge I have is marrying the data and textual content/context. Two separate places hasn't worked well for me.
  3. @merv It takes a good schema to store all the links, attributes, semantic content, and RDF still doesn't cut it for analysis
  4. @merv How would you suggest handling text from something like customer reviews if not via a form of semantic extraction, ETL?
  5. @donalddotfarmer Only partly agree - ike a DW you need to be comprehensive in storing text.output, allowing dynamic analysis, keeping orig
  6. @Claudia_Imhoff I like it. The only use I've made of text is after heavy lifting and feeding the output into a database.
  7. The most depressing band history I've read, after listening to a cheerful song they performed: Bhundu Boys http://bit.ly/Uhocs
  8. @RayBeckerman that time article sounds like someone channeling Kunstler's Geography of Nowhere conclusions
  9. Good technical comments about Infobright on @merv's blog and pointers to installs of the open source version http://bit.ly/EhrS8
  10. RT @Claudia_Imhoff: OK -- it really is pretty funny... RT @techdelight Microsoft's "We Share Your Pain" project... http://bit.ly/loY2K
  11. I'm waiting for an appliance vendor to come up with a product named "BFG9000". I'd probably buy one of those.
  12. @Claudia_Imhoff Let's get one of Neil's pictures for his icon...
  13. @RobPaller I think we should just jump to "LottaBytes" and forget about the database size chest thumping
  14. Finalizing the big open source DW/BI/ETL survey questionnaire for launch next week. Looking at what projects are being used, how, practices.
  15. @merv I'm only hands-on for some things. There's too much out there. I end up translating lessons from one into questions for others.
  16. @NeilRaden I was on the call, just not for the first 10 minutes.
  17. @NeilRaden I find that the only way to know is to use the products & learn the limitations. Big analyst firms never do this..
  18. @NeilRaden Does that include the BI tool giving you a "full service" massage when the data stresses you out?
  19. @merv Good point. It's like the Three Stooges where the straight man breaks his window before they can do it again. Maybe United wants that?
  20. @RobPaller Companies that are hard for me to differentiate: Wherescape, Expressor, BI-Ready
