Inflation conversion factors for dollars 1774 to estimated 2019 to dollars of 2008 and other years
Here at the IAJ, we have long been a fan -- and user -- of Prof. Robert Sahr's "Inflation Conversion Factors" web site and tools. We were snoozing at the switch a bit and didn't notice that Sahr updated the site in early June 2009. Check it out: it's filled with both PDF and Excel data/tools to calculate the comparative costs of most anything from 1774 to 2019. The site also includes some fun data:
Google Launches Internet Stat Center
Google Launches Internet Stat Center

Without any fanfare, Google has launched a new resource called "Google Internet Stats" which brings together industry facts and insights from across five different industries. Using a number of third party vendors as sources, the stats tool parses through online data to reveal Twitter-sized snippets and factoids like: "Over 90% of online merchants are planning to add rich media and social networking functions in 2009 -Internet Retailing" or "Runners have collectively logged over 93 million miles on nikeplus.com - BusinessWeek." While the stat center is an excellent new resource, there is one odd thing about it - it's hosted on the google.co.uk domain even though many of the sources used for stats have a global focus.

How many people use the Internet — in China? How many people are using Twitter? What are the demographics of Facebook users? What percentage of folks have high speed Internet access at home? Find the answers to all of these questions and many, many more at the following websites:

+ A Collection of Social Network Stats for 2009 (Jeremiah Owyang, analyst, Forrester Research)
Stats on social networks are important, but I’m going to need your help in creating a community archive, can you submit stats as you find them? I’m often asked, “What are the usage numbers for X social network” and I’ve received considerable traffic on my very old post (way back in Jan 08) of MySpace and Facebook stats, even months later. Decision makers, press, media, and users are hungry for numbers, so I’ll start to aggregate them as I see them.

With some effort, this could work as another tool for social network analysis. Yet another instance where journalists would do well to study other disciplines and their methods.

GoMiner™ is a tool for biological interpretation of 'omic' data – including data from gene expression microarrays. Omic experiments often generate lists of dozens or hundreds of genes that differ in expression between samples, raising the question
What does it all mean biologically?
To answer this question, GoMiner leverages the Gene Ontology (GO) to identify the biological processes, functions and components represented in these lists. Instead of analyzing microarray results with a gene-by-gene approach, GoMiner classifies the genes into biologically coherent categories and assesses these categories. The insights gained through GoMiner can generate hypotheses to guide additional research.
