Google replaces CDC, Patientslikeme Replaces FDA?

November 19, 2008 by timbatchelder, posted in Data Governance, Health Informatics, Information Visualization, Knowledge Management, Network Science, Security & Privacy

As more web driven mass crowd sourced health data is collected by large search and portals and organized it is being packaged and anonymized to provide services that normally took many months to years and required whole separate agencies and departments to run. So for example Patientslikeme is now making possible users with health conditions to provide reports on conditions in a standardized manner which provides web based “user driven” trials that can quickly provide important feedback on therapies. Similarly Google can now beat CDC in predictive value for flu outbreaks. Read on…

How Obama Won with the Web

November 14, 2008 by timbatchelder, posted in Data Governance, Knowledge Management, Metadata Masterdata, Regenerative Economy

I found a good article on Obama’s use of social computing and communications to connect with previous non voters in all parts of the country. Obama’s linguistic skills have allowed his voice and perspective to penetrate and galvanize people all over the planet. I was on a plane going to Geneva when Obama won. The Swiss co-pilot came to each of our seats to let us know, saying “America has a new President” with a big grin on his face. Then when we arrived in Geneva everyone we met there was very excited that we had elected Obama.

Why Sufi Muslims, for centuries the most ferocious soldiers of Islam, could be our most valuable allies in the fight against extremism – The Boston Globe.

Interesting article that shows the value of understanding ethnography and underlying spiritual traditions in the fight against terrorism. We incorrectly classify all muslims as terrorists.
