Well said landtco. If you are looking for data analysis tools to help you with your business in this regard my company can help to solve this problem. http://theenginuity.com/analytics


it is no different then cable TV. You pay to watch all those commercials. In Canada the largest Carriers also happen to be Cable providers.


It's a little different - in effect, the amount of TV I watch has no impact on the cost to me from my cable provider.

In this case, the more ads you consume, potentially the more you pay from your wireless carrier.


A way to look at cable TV is like a buffet. Everything is paid for in advanced. In a buffet, you can eat until you bust and the restaurant would still break even with the food cost at worst. Most cases, profit. The rest of users always make up for the revenue 'losses' caused by a small set of anomalies. This double income from ads and data only happened because your carriers were allowed to get away with placing data caps on wireless. In some distance past, we used to get limits on broadbands too, remember?


It would be more analogous if cable providers charged you by the minute for TV service. Each commercial would essentially be double billed.


Yep and sometime you just want the cliff notes on that trend without the spam.

Through my research I have found you can trick someone into clicking a link but a share not so much.

I built a search engine that ranks on social shares and the social comments.

It's great for avoiding click bait in results.

This is great news to see. I have tested HHVM with our particular application load and I found it to be a bit tricky to tune just right. However PHP 5.6 has been solid in production for us handling 5 billion requests daily.


Wow. What are you running that's getting 5 billion requests daily?

Interesting stuff, I too taught a machine to understand emotion. It is challenging work for sure and fun. It's integrated into our Search Engine Enginuity which uses this as part of its ranking algorithms. http://theenginuity.com
