In the last year, your location and personal medical information have become the latest streams in the river of data, joining email, clicks, searches, social networking, and buying patterns. Gathering, sharing, and storing data has become trivial. But what shall we collect, and what applications can we build that users really need?

Data mining is no longer the process of digging through data morgues to uncover scraps of still-viable information. Success in the online marketplace now hinges on people and the data they create. E-business is no longer about selling books.

Message from Andreas Weigend: “I study people and the data they create. I was the Chief Scientist at Amazon.com, where I specialized in understanding how people behave online, helping Amazon build its customer-centric, measurement-focused culture. I now advise exciting startups and consult for established firms including Alibaba, Best Buy, Lufthansa, MySpace, and Nokia, helping some of the most brilliant entrepreneurs and executives around the world leverage user data to create innovative products and business models. I also teach at Stanford and UC Berkeley, and I am often invited to speak at international events. For more information about me please visit: http://weigend.com/”
