New book:The Numerati


If you surf the world wide web, you will leave signs, through these signs, you can be deduced to one category.
Can you imagine this phenomenon?
During this process, you are deduced through a math algorithm, and then be categorized as a shopper? a banker? or a voter? and so on.
May be this seems to be terrible, but this is real, at least you are partly deduced.
Our data of the signs we leave on the web makes us nearly naked to the analysis.
This is described in detail by author Stephen Baker, the book's title is "The Numerati".
If you want to get information of others, you should read this book; if you want to take advantage of others' web information, you should read this book.
Of course, this analysis is beneficial to business.
