Ramblings of a Marketing Gurl: April 2022

A crowd-sourced virtual super computer may sound outlandish or based out of science fiction, but it is fiction no more. Meet Folding@home, created by Dr. Vijay Pande’s lab at Stanford University. The setup reads a lot like how bitcoin mining works, though, this is under the guise of "for the greater good" citizen science. Sorry MacOSX users, maybe your machine is just not cut out for this type of work. Windows OS is in the lead for active CPUs and GPUs. I am skeptical about all the bandwidth (millions of teraflops) this virtual computer needs. Someone is paying for that bandwidth, is it you?

On the other side of data, John Hopkins University released a newly updated dashboard that tracks COVID-19 cases in rich detail by county.

Welcome to my ramblings about marketing techniques, insights, business models, and perspectives on what companies do to bring products and services to market. My marketing work encompasses corporate and agency marketing handling many aspects within the marketing discipline: competitive intelligence, market strategy, market research, consulting, customer segmentation, database marketing, and identifying better customer acquisition methods and cross-sell opportunities.

The strength of a company's product or services should be as strong as its business strategy and marketing insight into its own industry. My passions are marketing and technology, which just happens to also be my career path.
