6 Months of Security Links #2011

I’m a regular curator of daily links, and like to give overviews of my collection of curated links and posts. This is partly as there are some good sources and articles in here and as I am working on a research project which I started based on a number of books I read.

I’m sure you’ll find something interesting in the items below – there are some gems in the list – and I dare to hazard the guess you might learn something you wanted to know.

Playing with DataSift #curation

leave a comment »

Some weeks ago I got my beta access to DataSift, I was happy to get access and didn’t see time to use it. Yesterday evening I played with it for the first time, it was quite interesting to discover something which I suspected which was that they had their own query/modeling language called FSDL. It contains the ability to do queries over the data, including data over a map geo coordinates, which means I can do some complex queries to get the needed data. Once I submitted the query I was given an option to buy access to a stream of the data.

I believe less is more, so I’m happy to see that they released their service with support for quite a number of services – Twitter, Tweetmeme, Buzz, Digg, RSS feeds – and makes it possible to do matches on different fields within the data set. And they have made the possibility to add your own datasources, which can be modeled in the same way as the existing datasources.

Above you can see an example FSDL that I wrote for the keyword Snypher.

A great tool, with many uses.

Wakoopa: Time Management Statistics

with 4 comments

I play with Wakoopa, it’s a little tool which tracks my usage for tools and websites. Sometimes it gets it very wrong, I don’t watch that much YouTube, but I do always have an IE window open with YouTube in it for if I need to find a film to illustrate a presentation.
