Thanks Eric, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Most of the work I presented can be found in the ACM digital library. Hollar if you can’t find something specific…I’ll gladly point you to it.

I really liked your talk today! It seemed so fresh and down-to-earth compared to the usual technical presentations we get.

The more Pink the greater change from Blue to Red.

The more Brown the greater change from Red to Blue.

Thanks Mor for the post!

I am happy to hear that you appreciate the functionality. Keep in mind that everything is still experimental - I am certain in the next two months you are going to appreciate our progress.

Yours,
One of the Tals

Yes, how do we read this map, Ayman? What’s the ugly-colored legend?

And, to compensate for my Ayman-less post, Ayman:

Ayman Ayman Ayman Ayman Ayman Ayman Ayman Ayman Ayman Ayman Ayman Ayman Ayman.

Ayman, See you in CSCW.

Wow, great idea. There are in fact blend modes in processing you could use, hmmmm. Maybe show the counties with the most change toward blue and most toward red… you could get the data, but there is something really appealing about trying to do it through procedural color stuff. Nice!

Comment on Newsflash: Nobody Young is Using LinkedIn! by Sagee Ben-Zedeff

Couldn’t agree more about your first finding: LinkedIn is a social network to get updated when something BAD happens (YOU lose/want a job, a friend or colleague loses/wants a job). Still, it has remained very professional and very easy to work with, where others (you know who…) failed.

I don’t think Mazda ARE targeting the 18-24 age group. I think they had nice response from the “right” age groups. (and I know what you drive - the answer to your question is easy…

LinkedIn is even more powerful as it has information on your employment status - you could advertise only to mid-level managers in mid size hi-tech companies that changes their role in the last 6 months and manager 3-5 people (why? I don’t know…).

Anyway, youth is overrated.

That’s an interesting theory - but the differences in seeing/clicking ads could not be as striking as this…

Actually, for this specific “poll ad” I would expect bias in male vs. female - I think the ratio of M-F responses is 3:2 but I don’t know what’s the ratio on LinkedIn.

It’s true that not as many young people use LinkedIn, but do you think it might also be that young people are probably the least likely to even see, much less click on web banner ads? Still valid that it’s probably not the right place to go to advertise to them.
