Part of the high video traffic was the media picking up on the release.

The Google Data Center team has got to be ecstatic with the coverage.  For those who think blogs are dead and Twitter is the answer.  Try to tell this story in 140 characters.  Now you may get more Twitter Traffic if you are Ashton Kutcher, but is the media going to cover your story.

Big Data Webinar, Dec 7, 2011, GigaOm and Splunk

GigaOm Pro has a webinar on Dec 7, 2011 10 - 11a PT on Big Data.

The Big Machine

How the Internet of Things Is Shaping Big Data

 

Even relatively conservative forecasts predict there will be 50 billion connected devices online by the end of the decade. Over time, the majority won’t be laptops or phones, but rather machine-to-machine connections from network infrastructure, sensors in cars, appliances, healthcare monitors and the like. They’ll produce data that needs to be combined and analyzed alongside structured data, application logs, customer info and social media streams. Already today, companies across multiple industries and government agencies are struggling to harness the sheer volume, complexity and variety of the data generated. In this webinar, we’ll look at the various kinds of machine-driven big data, how to develop an analytics and usage framework for them, and how companies can use these data to run their businesses.

Join GigaOM Pro and our sponsor Splunk for “The Big Machine: How the Internet of Things Is Shaping Big Data,” a free analyst roundtable webinar on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 10 a.m. PST.

I'll be on the panel along with other GigaOm analysts and Splunk's VP of Engineering, Stephen Sorkin.

SEO, sometimes quality beats speed, posts on "Google Dublin Data Center"

The normal rule in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is speed of posts is most important. More important than the quality of a post.

9 hrs ago, i posted on Google's Dublin Data Center.  Curious I ran a google search on "google dublin data center."  Here are the top search results.

And, my post made it #3 even though my post is only 9 hrs old, compared to almost all the other posts being 3 days old.

Now to be fair.  I cheated a bit by taking a different approach.  First, I asked for the complete press release from Google so i could look at what Google sent to the press.  After reading it I asked for permission to publish the local press release in its entirety.  And, focused on the green data center angle with the proven air cooling technology which was perfected in an existing Dublin leased facility.  After posting, I remembered Google discussing its Dublin Data Center air handling system at the Google Summit, so I screen grabbed the slides from the presentation which only 265 people had watched.  So, now you can see what Google will most likely deploy in its Dublin state of the art data center.

Here is what I posted.

It is nice to know you can get high SEO with quality even if you are late.

 

Example of Twitter followers, Michael Dell, Melinda Gates, and Bill Gates

If you don't think media is changing, consider the following.

Melinda Gates just started tweeting, and after three tweets she has 14,558 followers.

Well, it may help that her husband Bill said she has a tweet account and told 3,511,463 followers Melinda has started tweeting.

Melinda, welcome to ! I may be biased, but I think we should all follow 

 

Consider Michael Dell 744 tweets and has only 27,394 followers.
