Report: 25% of Critical Data is Flawed
"Many major companies are making crucial business decisions based on flawed data, according to a new study from Gartner Inc. More than 25 percent of critical data within Fortune 1,000 companies is incomplete and inaccurate, say analysts from Gartner, a major industry research firm based in Stamford, Conn.

A paper by Steve Dietz, Howard Besser, Ann Borda and Kati Gerber (with Pierre L�vy). "This Study Paper was produced in the context of the redevelopment of the Virtual Museum of Canada (VMC).

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.

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