My friend, Kevin Kelly, coined the term quantified self in October of 2007 with this blog post. In the in six years since, the fruits of such self quantification can now be found on the TV, the radio, and all over the internet. Let’s take stock and explore how the concept of the quantified self has grown from a small idea to national movement.

Kelly argued that the question of who we are — and more importantly, what it means to be a human person — is central to our experience of technology these days. He thinks that the answers to big existential questions will be found in the personal. As he wrote, “real change will happen in individuals as they work through self-knowledge.”

Kelly also proposed a starter list of quantified self categories, including but not limited to: chemical body load counts, personal genome sequencing, lifelogging, self-experimentation, location…

You’re spending plenty of time and money on your customer retention campaigns, but are you effectively measuring the effectiveness of your campaigns – in monetary terms – in order to optimize future campaigns and maximize the revenues they generate? That’s why you must introduce a scientific approach to your customer marketing efforts.

Instead of focusing on email open rates and click rates as the primary means of measuring campaign effectiveness, it is critical to focus on the monetary uplift generated by each campaign. The way to do this is to treat every campaign as a “marketing experiment.”

Control groups: The basis of a scientific approach

The key to determining the true effectiveness of any customer marketing campaign is the proper use of a control group. A control group is a subset of the customers you’re targeting with a particular campaign who you decide will not receive the campaign.

Ever since Medium arrived on the scene a little over a year ago, created by former Twitter CEO Evan Williams and his partner Biz Stone at Obvious Corp., there has been much debate about what exactly Medium is — and also what it is trying to become. In a conversation with TechCrunch, Williams made it clear that he thinks something like Medium is the future of online media: a platform similar to a magazine, but one that anyone can write for, where algorithms and editors work together to find the best writing

Over the past few weeks, Medium has come under fire for hosting some controversial content, including a rant about life in San Francisco and a story about a writer whose home was raided by the FBI because of the content of her Google searches – which later turned out not to true. Some critics have…

“Flow” is a very big thing for developers, and it’s not simply a matter of having clear goals and ingesting vast quantities of caffeine. It’s also handy to cut down on distractions, and that’s the goal of a Swedish outfit called Jumpstarter, which has just scored $1.7 million in funding.

Jumpstarter, which is entering a “selectively” open beta phase (you can grab a beta invite here with the code “GIGAOM”), is essentially a toolkit that takes care of many elements of the coding process – development environments, framework installs, deployment services and hosting — so the developer doesn’t have to juggle so much.

As CEO Per Jonsson explained it to me, this approach stands apart from that of platform-as-a-service outfits such as AppFog because those don’t replace local development environments or deployment services:

Traffic management – the prioritizing of some kinds of internet traffic over others – is of great interest to many in the tech industry because it is fundamental and powerful. It can be used for good or for bad: internet providers need to employ a degree of traffic management in order to make customers’ experience as good as possible, especially during busy times of the day, but they can also use it to block rivals’ services or to extort money out of content providers.

But don’t let the importance of the concept to the open internet mislead you into thinking it’s something that sets the heart of the average joe aflutter. In fact, according to consumer research published Wednesday by Ofcom, the British telecoms regulator, almost everyone couldn’t care less about traffic management.

To be precise, the Kantar Media researchers commissioned by Ofcom found just one percent of respondents take…

Last week was VMware’s time to shine. Now parent company EMC(s emc) is strutting its stuff — in Milan — unveiling an updated VNX hybrid storage array that it claims is now built with fast flash storage in mind first and foremost, but also incorporates disk storage as needed.

As Computerworld’s Stephen Lawson reported:

“As the cost of flash media falls and more enterprises turn to it for faster access to at least some of their data, hybrid arrays of both SSDs (solid-state disks) and HDDs (hard disk drives) are becoming an enterprise storage mainstay. Getting the full benefit of flash in those platforms requires more than just installing SSDs in place of spinning disks, so EMC and others are upping their game to increase speed across the board.”

Besides contending with traditional rivals like NetApp(s ntap), which has a flash story of its own, EMC faces increasing…

It’s been three weeks since Google unveiled its Chromecast dongle, and I’ve been using it practically every day since then to watch Netflix(s nflx), YouTube(s goog) and other forms of online video on my TV. This gave me a chance to test the device in a real-life setting, and discover some of its greatest features, along with a few shortcomings.

The basics: what it is and what it does

First, a quick recap: Chromecast is a $35 streaming dongle that plugs into your TV’s HDMI port. You can use it to stream online videos from YouTube, Netflix and elsewhere, and use your computer, mobile phone or tablet as a remote control. It doesn’t have any kind of separate app store or user interface on your TV – everything gets controlled from the PC or mobile device.

The key word here is control: Your phone doesn’t stream videos directly to…

Maybe it’s the rash of newspaper sales recently — including the acquisition of the Washington Post by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and the sale of the Boston Globe to local businessman John Henry — but there seems to be a renewed interest in assigning blame for the rapid decline of the newspaper business, and one name tends to get the majority of the criticism: namely, Craigslist, the free classified-advertising service that some say killed newspapers.

In a recent piece for The New Republic, for example, Alec MacGillis accuses Craigslist founder Craig Newmark of hypocrisy for helping to put together an ethics guide for journalists, a project that Newmark has been working on — and also helping to fund personally — for some time now, along with the Poynter Institute. The New Republic writer argues that this kind of commitment is pretty rich coming from the guy whose service…
