In case you didn't already know, your article on google's prediction markets was eluded to in the latest Wired!

If you get a 503 message, it is because you are being too aggressive with the del.icio.us servers and got throttled. Here is the link that explains it:

Is anyone else having problems with the del.icio.us assignment. Everything was working fine and then suddenly I started getting this error. Is any one else experiencing the same thing. Looks like the server crashed.

Quite accidentally stumbled upon this posting on Craigslist, while looking through the output of a Yahoo Pipe http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/sci/662495024.html Interesting to read what a data miner does for living in the real world.

Shaun Maguire responded to London Mayoral Elections and Internet Data

Very interesting data. Thanks for sharing.

Also, is the voting restricted to residents of London? If so, I don't see how you can compare % of UK traffic to % of US traffic. One is a local election -- the other is national.

This is cool indeed. Just having finished teaching 9 hours at Haas (UC Berkeley's GSB) today, I for a moment thought it was one of my students there :)

Hi Ashlee,
I've gotten more explanations for some speakers but not all. The poll's at http://www.polldaddy.com/p/516585/ if you want to check it out. Hopefully it should be ready soon. I'm just waiting for the green light on it now.

I have learned you can track individual links to pdfs and other non-html content with Google Analytics, but it appears to require moving the tracking code (see http://www.google.com/support/googlea...).

Quinn - Are you getting the level of detail you need on the Guest Speakers to create the poll? Please let us know.

I am unsure of the due date of HW2. I know that you talked about the assignments for the first part of the class on Monday, but I don't recall the exact due date for HW2 nor is it on the wiki that I can see.


Wed, Apr 16 at 9:28PM

Bill W left a note

I added a section to the bottom of HW2 on the wiki for people to place links to their homepage. Seemed like an efficient way to visit everyone's site quickly and generate a lot of good data.
