Big data is a blanket term for any collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications. The challenges include capture, curation, storage, search, sharing, transfer, analysis and visualization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_data (more)

Process, and typical time lag, of your Selling process.

Steve Blank clarifies that a Lean Startup is not a cheap Start Up - it just waits to start spending fast after it has a scalable/sustainable sales model. The goal of an investor-backed startup is not to build a lifestyle business (Life Style Company). The goal is to reach venture-scale (~10x return on investment.) When you and your board agree you've found a repeatable and scalable sales model (i.e. have Product Market Fit,) then you invest the dollars to create end user demand and drive those customers into your Sales Channel. If you confuse Lean with Cheap when you do find a repeatable and scalable sales model, you will starve your company for resources needed to scale. Customer Development (and Lean) is about continuous customer contact/iteration to find the right time for execution.

Tech Crunch is running a series of posts on the scams run through many Social Gaming networks on MySpace and FaceBook. In short, these games try to get people to pay cash for in-game currency (Virtual Money) so they can level up faster and have a better overall experience. Which is fine. But for users who won't pay cash, a wide variety of "offers" are available where they can get in-game currency in exchange for Lead-Gen-type offers. Most of these offers are bad for consumers because it confusingly gets them to pay far more for in-game currency than if they just paid cash (there are notable exceptions, but the scammy stuff tends to crowd out the legitimate offers). And it's also bad for legitimate advertisers. Zynga and others. (more)
