Too Much Information

On social networking sites,
you may be giving away more than you think

Popular websites like Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Flickr, Blogspot, and Xanga make it easy to build a web of friends and acquaintances, and share with them your photos, whereabouts, contact information, and interests.

But be thoughtful about what you post; don’t put your safety or your future at risk.

Never forget: the words and images you post on the Internet may be available for years, and your profile may be viewed by future employers and school admissions officials, as well as identity thieves, spammers, and stalkers.

Online Shopping

Compared: Amazon Vs Flipkart Vs Others; Who is Cheaper?

With Amazon launching its India operations, the heat is turned up in the eCommerce space. Amazon had been testing waters through Junglee, so this was quite an expected event. The customers seem to be welcoming the overlords of eCommerce, perhaps eCommerce stores too, albeit less enthusiastically. There is a sudden burst of activity across the bigger players.

We, at DataWeave, collect data across a large number of product categories, including books, on a daily basis. So, we decided to do some analysis once Amazon got into business with books.
