Wow today has been a great day!  Got alot done and my mind is racing with new ideas and concepts. 

Lately at work I've been hell bent on doing things better, and in particular finding better tools to help us achive a new and better high in qualitative data analysis.  I mean really, lets get off the ground here folks whats out there? 

So I did some digging, neat tools >>

Then I stumbled into some cool concepts at work in folks doing blog analysis.  Now thats cool.  Then that rammed me head on to a slew of interesting PDF's, and more excellent book reccomendations.  I swear I collect all these books and I need time to finish the one im reading now. 

So i'm in the works of reading up more on tags and folksonomies, which i swear, its like every sixty days or so we need yet another new word to explain things. 

A few gems in my search today. 

Jeremy writes about the Petty Giant, and its true, spot on! 

Dan and others comment on Smart Tags and how Google is following the Giant's footsteps.  Apparently there is a lot of buzz about this baby on the net.

Thoughts on how it only takes 5 bloggers to make yer product shine! 

And now i'm playing with PubSubEyetools launches a blog.

NYTimes aquires About.com for $410 million dollars.. what were they thinking?!  Ahhh well.

LOL these CEO's tag each other back and forth.  I saw this blurb on how to hack napster just yesterday, its wild how fast a little story on someones blog can manifest into something much larger.. not to mention tag Steve Jobs as worthy info to consume.
