Quotation of the Day for June 12, 2013"Once again, I remind you that I know nothing of Mr Revere, or his conversations, or his habits or beliefs, his writings (if he has any) or his personal life. All I know is this bit of metadata, based on membership in some organizations. And yet my analytical engine, on the basis of absolutely the most elementary of operations in Social Networke Analysis, seems to have picked him out of our 254 names as being of unusual interest." - Kieran Healy, from Using Metadata to Find Paul Revere, a paper inspired by the revelation that the U.S. National Security Agency is collecting "metadata" about electronic communications.
