Introduction: DataGotham: The Empire State of Data Posted: August 22, 2012 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog , projects | 2 Comments » I’m extremely excited about DataGotham , a conference that I’m co-hosting with friends and fellow New York data nerds Drew , John , and Mike . DataGotham is a celebration of the NYC data community, and will bring together professionals from all industries in New York that are built around data, from finance to fashion and from startups to the Fortune 500 and government. The event is September 13th – 14th at NYU, with tutorials and The Great Data Extravaganza Show (with cocktails!) at the Tribeca Rooftop Thursday evening, and a single track conference Friday. Our speakers and sponsors are all amazing. You can register now . While DataGotham is definitely a labor of love, there are numerous reasons to do it.

Introduction: DataGotham 2013 is coming! Posted: August 12, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | Tags: datagotham , nyc | Leave a comment » Registration is open for DataGotham 2013 , our second annual New York data community conference, September 12th and 13th. The core of the conference is a series of brilliant data practitioners telling the stories about what they work on. The content is technically-oriented but not all deeply technical, and we really welcome anyone curious about how New York companies and institutions are pushing the boundaries on data to attend. We have two goals for the conference. The primary goal is to connect people in the greater New York data community who are working on interesting things. If our community is strong and supportive, we will all do better work. Our second goal is to highlight the amazing working happening here, so that people near and far will realize that New York is the best place in the world to do data science.

Introduction: How do you prioritize research? Posted: August 28, 2012 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | Tags: datascience , startups | 14 Comments » One of the most fun and challenging parts of my job is setting bitly’s research agenda. We’re a startup, so this means prioritizing the set of questions we look into in the context of what will be most beneficial for the rest of the business, for the short and long-term, by creating opportunity and opening up potential futures. We work on a wide variety of projects, from pure research to press collaborations to infrastructure and experimental products . We always have a list of research questions way longer than we have time and resources to pursue, so we developed a process for evaluating whether a given question is worth pursuing at a particular time. This is the kind of process that I’ve only discussed with several people over whisky (thanks!), but not seen written up. I initially had a much longer list o

Introduction: Tip: How to Search Google for Ideas Posted: July 30, 2007 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog | Tags: search | 1 Comment » Will someone please invent a way to search for ideas? Short on inspiration? Harvest ideas from the web by searching Google for “someone please invent” and see what people are wishing for. Using quotes around “someone please invent” insures that Google searches for that exact phrase only. You can further refine the query by adding related terms at the end of the query. For example, try searching for “someone please invent” game* to see game-related results.

Introduction: My Head is Open Source! Posted: June 22, 2011 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | Tags: 3d , makerbot , opensource | 8 Comments » Last night I visited friends at Makerbot , where artist-in-residence Jonathan Monaghan scanned my head with a high-resolution laser scanner. The model is available on Thingiverse and can be printed on your friendly neighborhood makerbot or other 3d printer. There are lots of other awesome models of people and things to play with, including Stephen Colbert’s head . I look forward to the emergence of plastic clone head armies! Edit: Please note: thanks for asking, but brains are not included.

Introduction: Startups: Why to Share Data with Academics Posted: January 28, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | 5 Comments » Last week I wrote a bit about how to share data with academics . This is the complimentary piece, on why you should invest the time and energy in sharing your data with the academic community. As I was talking to people about this topic it became clear that there are really two different questions people ask. First, why do this at all? And second, what do I tell my boss? Let’s start with the second one. This is what you should tell your boss: Academic research based on our work is a great press opportunity and demonstrates that credible people outside of our company find our work interesting. Having researchers work on our data is an easy way to access highly educated brainpower, for free, that in no way competes with us. Who knows what interesting stuff they’ll come up with? Personal relationships with university faculty ar
