WHOIS Lookup Service WHOIS.sc Becomes DomainTools.com
One of ResourceShelf's favorite WHOIS domain name resources has changed its name and has a new look. Result pages are full of data. Also, all of the inexpensive ($15/month) but powerful services like historical WHOIS info (back to 2002) and the Mark Alert domain name tracking service are available. Limited access to both of these services is available at no charge. You will need to register. DomainTools.com also offers a bunch of free network services (Traceroute, Ping, DNS, Reverse IP). They also offer a new feature, "Name Server Spy" that monitors and graphs domains transfered, added, and deleted over time. Over 4 years' worth of data available.

Click to view the article Quilting big data threads
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
