Gangnam Style is an example of what can be achieved on the Internet by offering the right content for the right audience at the right time.

Been reading up on big data since the first mashup and found this article on big data being our generation's civil rights issue. Personalization is being touted as the future but, as this article states, is it just another word for discrimination as well?

Really interesting how there is already a policy in place regarding live-tweeting from the athletic department at the University of Washington.
