Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC)

I think this is a great opportunity for anyone even remotely thinking about stepping into an Entreprenuers role . This year SCU is hosting the Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC). I am new to this and don't have all the info but stay tuned while I gather more details and post them here.



PS : If you are thinking of partnering with someone, then I am looking for some one serious. I have a great idea that might work :- )

“A YouTube for Data”




I came across this interesting blog in the Freakonomics Blog : “A YouTube for Data”

which is quite interesting. Given the fact that I am taking Statistics this quarter and the core topics such as Linear regression, Normal distribution etc is still fresh in my memory, I though this idea of developing a site where anybody could upload their data and generate graphs seemed very impressive. Is there use for such data ? I think so. I can track the page views of my blogs and upload it to swivel and put a small piece of JS on my site that can show the number of page views. Would I want to do that ? Not unless I have a huge readership base. If it's just me my firend and my dog reading :) then I wouldn't want to do it. But the point is there is some need for such representation of data .



Now this opens up another question. Now I have a way to present the data but how do I get the data in the first place ? Hmm, May be I should think of a swivel++.
