RT @DataMiningTips: Mechanistician: Best Data Mining Algorithm http://bit.ly/82lIJb: JK--Best, schmest! Just give 'em options. about 4 hours ago from TweetDeck
JK2—I tried to steer clear of this “what’s the best algorithm?” business in scoring my Forrester PA/DM Wave.
Where, when, and from whom exactly did this word "statgeist" originate? Here, now, me. about 4 hours ago from TweetDeck

Taking MSFT briefing on PowerPivot. Herain Oberoi, Mike Tejedor & @donalddotfarmer. "Business insight in context of what u do day-to-day" 12:10 PM Nov 25th from TweetDeck
Tweets as key popularity indicators (KPIs of a different sort) in real-time collective intelligence (BI for social networking) environments? 12:48 PM Nov 25th from TweetDeck
"Microsoft: Black Screen of Death claims are flat-out false" (http://bit.ly/91zov7): JK--Do we really need color-coded screens of death? ;-) 1:50 PM Dec 2nd from TweetDeck
Sitting here trying to think of single thing Google developed (not acquired) that actually use regularly, other than search. Still thinkin' 1:48 PM Dec 2nd from TweetDeck
RT @Intelligentform: "decisioning ....Predictive Analytics ....why equate them?" JK--Not an equation. 8:41 PM Nov 27th from TweetDeck
@Intelligentform "Automated decisioning" JK--Term of art for inline predictive analytics. Many micro-decisions to burden human with. 2:29 PM Nov 26th from web in reply to Intelligentform
"IBM feels cozy on sidelines as Oracle-Sun deal ... in anti-trust purgatory" (http://bit.ly/75ZNON): JK--Cue up Soundgarden "Black Hole Sun" 8:28 AM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
"MSFT Windows 8 Coming In 2012" (http://bit.ly/5WRgT7): JK--MSFT into tedious slog thru OS rev numbers. No hopeful "Vista" or "Millennium." 8:22 AM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
Cloud DW: how/whether to virtualize across and leverage all the legacy flotsam of myriad hardware, OS, DBMSs, etc and thereby scale out. 7:14 AM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
All DW vendors contemplating cloud. Less than 50% have commercial cloud offerings now. 90% will by year from now. But few mature till 2011 7:06 AM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
Well, the analyst community consensus on Google Chrome OS is breathtaking. It'll be a smashing success. It'll also fail miserably. 6:18 AM Nov 23rd from TweetDeck
LIFE-OF-AN-ANALYST TWEETS
Looking forward to @bevelson BI SaaS Wave. I'm sure it will be good. Boris has an awesome list of vendors providing BI in cloud-like form. about 4 hours ago from TweetDeck
Continuing to push back on people's well-meaning attempts to rebrand me down from "James" to "Jim." 7:42 AM Dec 3rd from TweetDeck
Always love when people tell me they enjoy my tweets. Not interested in how many "follow" me. Just interested in who I'm touching. 8:10 PM Dec 2nd from TweetDeck
Taking time off today. Time to do stuff around the house. So it doesn't feel like "off." But "off," none the less. 1:14 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck
RT @aristippus303: "the Kenneth Tynan of analyst bloggers eh?" JK--Who's that? 7:00 AM Nov 25th from TweetDeck
Fundamentally, analyst's personal blog is centerpiece of their personal brand. How would corporations feel if compelled to kill their brand? 10:53 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
When I first started writing James Kobielus' Blog (http://bit.ly/5uuyTt) 5 yrs ago, I gave myself license to goof around. Hasn't hurt me. 10:43 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
It's more than just freedom to utter expletives. Stylistic freedom is key. Can't imagine "aweekstweet" as official biz-blog format. 10:41 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
Anyway, back to topic of analysts with personal blogs. Free speech, personal viewpoints. Twitter too. Freedom to occasionally say "fuck" 10:33 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
Love when folks finally meet me & vice versa. Shock of "that's him?" For the record, I'm shorter, older, balder, & more myopic than I appear 10:26 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
Definitely love doing consulting. Especially when it's face to face on their turf. Working virtual gets old. Simply need to be among people. 10:22 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
Did 3 straight biz days consulting to 3 very different IT vendors. Airline screwup kept today from being 4th . But will deliver next month. 10:20 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
RT @rwang0: "personal blogs being squelched by mgt in companies....1st amendment rights?" #socmedia: JK--Archaic concept: freedom of speech 10:01 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
"DC area analyst." What's that really mean? My customers and the vendors I cover are everywhere. It means DCA, IAD, or BWI: which is mine? 9:36 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
Reading my own aweekstweets (why do I do that?) is self-revelation. I do indeed multiplex all those topics in my brain constantly. Weird! 9:18 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
An analyst-in-the-world must reserve the right to tweet, blog, or otherwise publish any analysis on any topic. If it's worth saying, say it. 9:20 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
Facts, or corrections of same, are what should be presented to evaluator. Stray evaluative language shouldn't be thrown in. I filter it out. 10:05 PM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
Also not useful to accuse the evaluator of bias 10:02 PM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
Always best when vendors address only their own qualifications and not make gratuitous statements about the competition. 10:01 PM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
Most vendors actually address criteria AS STATED. Makes evaluator's job all the easier. Following instructions in everybody's best interest 9:59 PM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
Hey PA/DM Wave vendors: here's the definition I'm using for "strategy maps" (http://bit.ly/55hBJq). I didn't invent the concept. 6:40 AM Nov 25th from TweetDeck
Ah, yes, day-before-Thanksgiving of wall-to-wall vendor pushback on my PA/DM Wave. I'd love that cup of cheer now, Wed morn, but don't dare. 6:35 AM Nov 25th from TweetDeck
Fine-tooth-combing the vendor feedback to their scores in the Forrester PA/DM Wave...isolation (thru music) good way of focusing. 9:43 PM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
Meager tech news volume for Monday morning. Everybody already got their pre-Thanksgiving announcements out there. Folks a-flyin home this wk 6:27 AM Nov 23rd from TweetDeck
Today's atypical day where I've kept the music off most of time. And I'm taking a break, go figure. Don't have headache. Just love the quiet 5:19 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck

All these Google Wave invites going out today must mean Google's either very confident it's primetime ready--or desperate for users. 5:17 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck

RT @swaynette: :Who do I know on Google Wave? How do I find you? I want to see what this thing does." JK--You know me. I'm also learning 5:13 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck
Great thing about Twitter for uninitiated, and hesistant, new user, is that it comes packed with content and community--enticements to tweet 5:01 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck
TweetDeck browsing: perfect music-on-hold activity: can pick up or leave off anywhere, anytime: not concentration- or continuity-intensive 4:21 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck
Got invited to Google Wave today. Puttering around inside it. But still haven't figured out answer to key question: "why?" 1:16 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck
Google Wave just sits there inert and uninviting if it isn't delivered pre-populated with interactive, collaborative content (i.e., Waves). 4:59 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck
RT @aristippus303: "Facebook...cheesy." JK--Yes, it is. But I do like the ability to share photos. And to aggregate my tweets and blogs. 8:47 PM Nov 27th from TweetDeck
Arguments on Twitter are very ping-pong. Give me whiplash jerking my neck back and forth to follow. Ball's invisible as hummingbird wings. 8:44 PM Nov 27th from TweetDeck
That was too bitty. This version hopefully is bitsy. Let's see. 9:12 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck
Going for the consistent photo across all my online personas. 9:06 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck
"Forecasting the Demise of Social Media" (http://bit.ly/7BMqzG): JK--Inevitable backlash. Can see headlines: "First SOA, Now Social: DEAD!!" 3:09 PM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
"Turn Your Twitter Tweets Into Books!" (http://bit.ly/7EerCA): JK--As anybody slogging thru my aweekstweets knows, it's pure vanity project 7:26 AM Nov 24th from TweetDeck
Oh, I have Plaxo. That's right, I have Plaxo. Explain to yourself again, Jim, why you have Plaxo. Well, I have Plaxo because.....Don't know. 11:08 PM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
Oh, I see. Blogger.com doesn't like bullets. Wonder what it's stand is on the 2nd amendment. 2:00 PM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck
Raked remaining leaves this morning before the rain. Unfollowing the brain-dead tweet-pushers that have fluttered and cluttered my TweetDeck 4:30 PM Nov 30th from TweetDeck
