What’s It Worth? Your Data, Your Blog, Yourself.
First, two cool websites:
- Statistics have never been so beautiful. Check the income one. Gapminder is pretty cool.
- Online brainstorming/mindmapping? Sure! Esp. if it looks that good.
More Importantly This Morning:
So how much is that data worth? We used to use $4 an identity. Now it could be $14 or $18. Alan’s got the good breakdown with the important stuff to know.
Then again, those are Symantec’s numbers - for what they’re worth - and by their own admission only a small percentage are from online heists. Maybe the same data, on IT systems, isn’t nearly worth as much.  I’ve long thought much like Kenneth - esp. concerning the motive, intent and capabilities of “Zombie Tycoons”. Great, you’ve got 250,000 zombies - now what? Good luck mining and synthesizing all that data!
Finally, Big4Guy gives us How to Audit Spreadsheets for Section 404 Compliance.  I like the Big4Guy site quite a lot. Sure, it’s SOX, and it’s dry, but let me explain. You see, he’s down and dirty about what to do and how to do it. He’s not navel gazing about the relative importance of himself or his purpose in life. He’s just given us “how it is and how you ought to do it.” Got to respect that.
