New, Terrorism Knowledge Base Quick Reference Guide and More
The TKB was a ResourceShelf ROTW last September. Jacso also reviewed the dbase a week later. Since then, several new features and additions including:
+ "Quick Reference Guide" to the Terrorism Knowledge Base (PDF)
+ New Data Source: U.S. State Department Travel Warnings and Public Announcements
+ New Data Source: "State Department Terrorist Designation Lists" with direct links to TKB information on terrorist groups and entities officially designated by the U.S. government.
+ New Content: "Over the past two months, our research team has added nearly 600 terrorism incident reports, 40 terrorist group profiles, and more than 100 terrorist leader and member profiles."
+ Direct access from the TKB to the The International Security and Counterterrorism Reference Center (ISCTRC).
ISCTRC is an EBSCO database that is accessible (registration required, free) and permitted for personal, non-commercial use. The same is the case with Thomson's Terrorism Reference Library and Encyclopedia of Terrorism.

The Am Law 100
"The American Lawyer's newest Am Law 100 findings highlight this provocative fact: At the United States' top-grossing firms, additional lawyers are slowing the rate of revenue growth. Law firms are managing to improve profitability by cutting costs, boosting efficiency and making equity partnership more exclusive -- but revenue per lawyer isn't keeping pace with head count increases. Growing, it turns out, is easy. Growing profitably is what's hard."

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

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?
