Today we start with Google’s new logo. If you have not seen it yet, you clearly did not use the internet yesterday. Seriously, everyone reported on this. On the startup side, we have an excellent article from Jeromy Sonne about product activation and retention being the key to revenue growth. Lastly, as much of a geek as I am, there is much truth in the KD Nuggets post about the one language a data scientist must master, business. This is also very true for developers as well.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
