Very interesting. Yahoo! does not look bad at all, a little bit surprised by the size, Yahoo! bigger than Google with this sampling methodology. MS is doing some things right as well as far as the underlying infrastructure is concerned. Maybe these progress have not all reach front-end experiences and Comscore yet.<br /><br />Chris, thank you!<br /><br />-arnaudArnaud Fischer - user-obsessed &amp; competition-paranoidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10226305415893346655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35989169.post-7142663372321796062007-02-03T04:30:00.000-05:002007-02-03T04:30:00.000-05:00Those old dead link stats by Greg Notess are interesting! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.ee.technion.ac.il/people/zivby/papers/se/se.techreport.pdf">Random Sampling from a Search Engine's Index"</a> by Ziv Bar-Yossef and Maxim Gurevich has numbers for inaccessible pages (4xx HTTP return codes) in 2006: <br /><br />Yahoo: 0,5 % <br />MSN: 0,7 %<br />Google: 2 %<br />(see Figure 16)<br /><br />Yahoo comes off best in this evaluation.chris2001http://dmoz.org/profiles/chris2001.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35989169.post-82080172276263608102007-01-04T12:35:00.000-05:002007-01-04T12:35:00.000-05:00Jason, are you with biz 360?

Awesome correction. I checked out the link you mentioned http://www.biz360.com/solutions/pov.html, Point-of-View Sentiment, the Biz360 underlying sentiment analysis technology, very much what I was looking for. Very nice. I particularly like the example about Zune in http://marketiq.biz360.com and I appreciate the conclusion driven from the data mining exercise: knocking Apple off its throne "won’t be a quick hit, but rather a slow etching away of its market share". The kind of business intelligence Microsoft can use to readjust strategy and tactic around taking Zune to market. I trust Microsoft noted.Arnaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10226305415893346655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35989169.post-23340982024322785082007-01-04T03:15:00.000-05:002007-01-04T03:15:00.000-05:00Thanks--interesting series.<br /><br />For the record, Biz360 does NLP-based data mining ... see http://www.biz360.com/solutions/pov.html for a few details.Jasonhttp://marketiq.biz360.com/noreply@blogger.com
