Cable Television Rates
Source: GAO
Issues Related to Competition and Subscriber Rates in the Cable Television Industry
Some rocket science here: "Competition leads to lower cable rates and improved quality." However, competition exists in only a few U.S. cable markets. Over the past three years, cable rates have risen 34%, "driven by the high cost of original programming, among other things." Sports programming in particular is very expensive.

Crime in These United States 2002
"Crime in the United States (CIUS) is an annual publication in which the FBI compiles volume and rate of crime offenses for the nation, the states, and individual agencies. This report also includes arrest, clearance, and law enforcement employee data." Statistics are compiled from 17,000 law enforcement agencies across the country. Figures for 2002 show a slight overall rise in serious crime, but crime is well down (16%) over the levels of a decade ago, with far fewer murders in 2002 than there were in 1993. Report available in HTML or PDF.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
