			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Heute hatte ich theoretisch Pause.</p>
<p>Bin gegen 11 Uhr aufgestanden, hab geduscht und wollte raus was essen.<br />
Bin zum McDonalds um die Ecke, hab was gegessen und mir ist<br />
eingefallen, ich könnte allein zum People&#8217;s Square fahren und einige<br />
Fotos machen, weil ich doch das erste Mal die Kamera nicht dabei<br />
hatte.</p>
<p>So ne Rikscha gerufen und zur nächsten U-Bahn-Station gefahren.<br />
Den weg kannte ich ganz gut, hab aber immer wieder geschaut, wo ich<br />
bin und wohin ich muss.</p>
<p>Am People&#8217;s Square angekommen, raus aus der U-Bahn-Station und rein in den Tumult.<br />
Richtung Grün am Square.<br />
Plötzlich spricht mich eine Chinesin auf Englisch an. Sie steht mit<br />
einer anderen Chinesin und einem Jungen dort. Wir chatten, Die können<br />
sehr gut Englisch und einige Worte auf Deutsch. Sehr interessant und<br />
angenehm. Ich frage wo sie waren. Die sagen, am People&#8217;s Square und gehen jetzt zu<br />
einer &#8220;traditional tea party&#8221;. Fragen, ob ich mitkommen möchte. Ich<br />
denke &#8220;warum nicht. Ist ganz nett mit denen zu quatschen&#8221; und ist ja<br />
nur 5 Minuten Gehweg.</p>
<p>Auf dem Weg sage ich, dass die ungewöhnlich offen und chatty für<br />
chinesische Mädchen sind, welche sonst bei den ersten 2-3 Treffen nicht mit bis<br />
dahin unbekannten Leuten sprechen, auch wenn diese Freunde von<br />
Freunden sind. Die sagen auch, ja es gibt so viele scheue Mädchen.<br />
hmmmmmmm No. 1</p>
<p>Wir gehen in eine Straße rein, die so gar nicht traditionell ausschaut<br />
und dann sollen wir auch noch in ein Haus auf die zweite Etage. Ok<br />
denk ich. Frage, wo sie von dieser &#8220;party&#8221; erfahren haben. Von einer<br />
Broschüre, die denen auf der Straße angeboten wurde. Die Broschüre<br />
wird mir aber nicht gezeigt. hmmmmmmm No. 2</p>
<p>Wir gehen auf die 2te Etage und ich ein komisch kleines Lokal in die<br />
letze Ecke in ein kleines Zimmer. Setzen uns rein und uns wird das<br />
Tee-Menü gezeigt. 35-45 rmb pro Tee. Ein Mädchen serviert und die 3<br />
erklären mir alles sehr genau und als ob die das jeden Tag machen,<br />
ohne bei der Servier-Tussi nachzufragen. hmmmmmm No. 3</p>
<p>Der Tee kostet pro Person so viel und dann auch noch 30 rmb für<br />
Zimmernutzung am Ende. hmmmmmm No. 4</p>
<p>Ich denke noch der Typ hat erzählt, dass er 6 Monate in Shanghai<br />
arbeitet, warum hat er denn eine Kamera um den Hals, die er in der<br />
ganzen Zeit kein einziges Mal genutzt hat ein Foto zu schießen. Die<br />
Mädchen seien aus Peking und haben keine Kamera offensichtlich an sich.<br />
hmmmmmm No. 5</p>
<p>Es wird der erste Tee serviert, ich sage ich möchte nur einen Tee<br />
probieren. Die sagen, die Serviertussi wird entscheiden welchen Tee in<br />
welcher Reihenfolge wir trinken. Das Mädel neben mir misst meinen Puls<br />
am linken Arm. hmmmmmm No. 6</p>
<p>Der erste Tee ist ein Ginseng Tee. Es wird jedem eine kleine Schale<br />
serviert, wir trinken. Man muss mit drei Schlucken alles austrinken, das<br />
sei so Tradition. Ich trinke aus. Das Mädel neben mir sagt, Hm schmeckt<br />
nicht süß. Schmeckst du süß? Ich sage jaaaa. Frage die andere, ob sie<br />
Süße schmeckt. Sie sagt nein. Mein Herz beginnt schneller zu schlagen.<br />
Ich weiß nicht warum. Es wird etwas flau im Bauch.<br />
hmmmmmm No. 7</p>
<p>Meine Instinkte sagen, !!! RAUS HIER IRGENDWAS STIMMT NICHT !!!</p>
<p>Ich stehe plötzlich auf.<br />
Das Serviermädchen läuft aus dem Raum und macht die Tür hinter sich zu.<br />
Ich gehe schnell zur Tür, mache die Tür auf.<br />
Die anderen fragen. &#8220;Do you want to leave???????&#8221;<br />
Ich sage &#8220;yesssssss!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>fummle in meiner Hosentasche rum, hole 50 rmb raus und gehe aus der Tür.<br />
Das Serviermädchen kommt zurück. Ohne irgendwelche Schläger, zum Glück.<br />
Ich drücke ihr die 50rmb in die Hand und gehe zur Ausgangstür nr.2 .<br />
Diese ist mit einem Schloss versperrt. Sie zeigt mir auf eine andere<br />
Tür. Ich gehe schnell dahin und raus. Schnell aus dem Haus raus und<br />
raus auf die Straße. Versuche den Weg zurück zum Ausgangspunkt am<br />
Peaople&#8217;s Square zu finden. Das klappt gut.</p>
<p>Mein Herz rast immer noch seltsamerweise. Ich schwitze, obwohl es nicht<br />
so heiß ist - ich denke &#8220;warum ???&#8221;. Drogen im Tee? Nur ich hab süßes<br />
geschmeckt!!!<br />
Ich gehe zum nächsten Wasser-Verkaufs-Stand und nehme eine Flasche<br />
Wasser. Lasse langsam ein rmb nach dem anderen in den Geldbeutel der<br />
Verkäuferin fallen. Bei 3 sieht sie zufrieden aus. Ich mache das Wasser auf<br />
und gehe. Trinke die halbe Flasche aus und fühle mein Herz immer noch<br />
rasen.</p>
<p>Gehe zum People Square, versuche noch in Ruhe ein paar Fotos zu<br />
schießen. Denke, ob ich wohl einen Polizisten drauf ansprechen soll?<br />
Es sind so viele auf den Straßen zur EXPO-Zeit. Spreche niemanden an.<br />
Entscheide mich zurück zum Hotel zu fahren. Tue das.</p>
<p>Auf dem Weg versuche ich zu rekapitulieren, was passiert ist.<br />
Jetzt erst werden mir die oben gezeigten 7 hmmmmmmmms klar.<br />
Instinktiv habe ich etwas Falsches gerochen. Erst im Nachhinein werden<br />
die Details klar. Ich bin erleichtert, dass ich so gut reagiert habe.<br />
Mein Gesicht wechselt ständig zwischen Lächeln und leichtem Horror.</p>
<p>Ich denke an die russischen Soldaten, die für ihre Organe in Russland<br />
getötet wurden und wahrscheinlich nach China verkauft wurden. Ich denke<br />
an die Geschichten eines Freundes, der mit einer Chinesin den ganzen<br />
Abend in einem Club gesprochen hatte und später dafür viel Geld zahlen<br />
musste – nur für das Sprechen!. Ich denke an das Gespräch vom Vorabend mit einem Cousin meines<br />
chinesischen Freundes, der mir erklärt hat, dass chinesische Frauen so<br />
scheu sind und beim ersten Treffen in einer Runde kaum mit einem bis<br />
dahin Unbekannten sprechen.</p>
<p>Ich kann mich nicht entscheiden, ob die nur mein Geld oder meine<br />
Organe wollten. Ich denke &#8220;nur gut, dass ich so reagiert habe&#8221;<br />
:_________)</p>
<p>Im Hotel angekommen und die Wasserflasche komplett ausgetrunken, das<br />
Herz schlägt immer noch relativ schnell, wird gegooglet.<br />
1) &#8220;Ginseng tee herz&#8221; -> Herz schlägt schneller, wenn man den trinkt.<br />
ok gut. Es steht nicht von süß irgendwo.<br />
2) &#8220;tea party scam&#8221; -> Es ist schon einigen passiert, die dann richtig<br />
Kohle geblecht haben. Sogar 4 stellige RMB Beträge, also huderte von<br />
Euros.</p>
<p>Ich bin erleichtert, enttäuscht, ermutigt, entsetzt, entrüstet,<br />
ernüchtert, erleichtert.</p>
<p>Dusche, trinke grünen Tee.</p>
<p>Später holt mich der Vater von X. ab. Wir fahren zusammen via U-Bahn<br />
zum COSCO Headquarter in Shanghai und treffen dort die Onkel und<br />
Cousinen, Cousins, die ich schon mal beim Essen getroffen habe. Essen.<br />
Ich erzähle meine Geschichte. X. übersetzt spärlich.</p>
<p>Als ich beim Part bin, wie die 3 mich zur Tee Party einladen heben 4-5<br />
Leute die Arme in die Luft und sagen &#8220;no no no&#8221;. Ich sage. Doch, ich<br />
bin mitgekommen. Erzähle den die ganze Geschichte. Die sagen, heute<br />
hast du weise gehandelt. Hat nur 50 RMB gekostet und war eine ying<br />
yang Erfahrung <img src='http://information-man.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Nach dem Essen fahren wir mit 4 jungen Leuten zum Bund und gehen im<br />
nette Cafe &#8220;Signal Tower&#8221; was trinken. Cool. Ich zahle 460 rmb.<br />
Guter Preis für gute Freunde.</p>
<p>Wir fahren zum Treffpunkt mit Vater von X., einem Onkel und den jungen<br />
Leuten zum Bier trinken und Karaoke singen. Der Abend ist lustig,<br />
interessant und so.</p>
<p>Wir fahren zurück zum Hotel mit dem Taxi. Ich sitze und schreibe<br />
diesen Text und denke, was du wohl denken wirst, wenn du das liest.</p>
<p>Zum Glück bin ich kein absoluter Volltrottel ;-]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is there one program or online service in the world where you can search for functions or filter menu items? It is very painful if you try to find a function and you aren&#8217;t sure where it is &#8220;hidden&#8221; in the whole menu structure.</p>
<p>Some big companies made efforts and did a really good job to arrange the menu items in a very useable way.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p><strong>MS Excel 2007</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://information-man.com/wp-content/2007/10/image2.png" ><img src="http://information-man.com/wp-content/2007/10/image-thumb2.png" style="border-width: 0px" alt="image" border="0" height="118" width="504" /></a></p>
<p>MS Excel and almost every new Microsoft Office product have this new <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribbon_(computing)" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');">ribbon structured menu</a> which improves usability and navigation. Anyway there are hundreds of functions you will never find without a good &#8220;search for functions&#8221; button. Well you could search in the manual. Everybody likes manuals&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Google Analytics</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://information-man.com/wp-content/2007/10/image1.png" ><img src="http://information-man.com/wp-content/2007/10/image-thumb1.png" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 20px 0px 0px" alt="google analytics menu" align="left" border="0" height="341" width="152" /></a></p>
<p>Google Analytics has about 50 menu items in the main menu. Well structured but still painful to find the right report if you aren&#8217;t sure where the relevant menu item is.</p>
<p>Ok, you are an expert in Google Analytics and can find the right way through the menu in seconds. Wouldn&#8217;t it still be nice to have a filter that blends out the irrelevant menu items, so you can concentrate on the 2-3 items you really need?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guess who has just received the activation codes for SPSS 15 and Clementine 11.1<strong> with the  Textmining for Clementine</strong> module. What? You don&#8217;t know who or what Clementine is? Check out the latest poll about <a href="http://www.kdnuggets.com/polls/2007/data_mining_software_tools.htm" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.kdnuggets.com');">the most popular data mining tools</a>.</p>
<p>By the way the picture in the header of this blog is made of Clementine Icons, where each icon represents a function or algorithm that you can use to analyse your data.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to find out what Textmining for Clementine is capable to do for analysis in Competitive Intelligence, SEO and Webmining in general.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Tuesday I attended a conference <a href="http://www.trendtag.de" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.trendtag.de');">&#8220;Trendtag&#8221;</a> which is hosted by <a href="hhttp://www.trendbuero.de/index.php?lang=en" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.trendbuero.de');">&#8220;Trendbüro&#8221;</a> a leading german trend (and future) research company. This years theme was &#8220;Karma-Capitalism _ Values instead of Prices&#8221;.</p>
<p>One of the speakers was Josephine Green - Head of the Trends and Strategy division at <a href="http://www.design.philips.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.design.philips.com');">Philips Design</a>. She spoke about the great impact that web 2.0 had on the industry. Since everybody can easily find information about products on the web and discuss them in an adequate community or network, the former consumer becomes a user of a product who gets involved into the production cycle and than becomes a co-producer.</p>
<p>Somewhere in the speech Ms. Green asked the audience to please come up with a better term for this new kind of &#8220;user co-producer&#8221; wich would not be burdened with the negative connotation which comes with the word consumer. In 1980 published book <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Wave_%28book%29" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');">The Third Wave</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_Toffler" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');">Alvin Toffler</a> coined the term <strong>prosumer</strong>, but as you see it contains the unbeloved term consumer and can nowadays also be interpreted as professional consumer.<br />
So I took the challange and after 5 minutes of thinking and writing I had the very simple but appealing idea of calling <strike>them</strike> us <strong>produser</strong> wich is apperantly a combination of <strong>prod</strong>ucer and <strong>user</strong> and can not be confused with a professional user because of the &#8220;d&#8221; in between <img src='http://information-man.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>In the 6th minute I got a little depressed because I recalled that we live in the age of google and sure there would be somebody who had the same idea before me. But anyway I thought the idea was good enough to go and speak about it with Ms. Green.<br />
She liked it and maybe she&#8217;ll use it now in her speeches rather then such monstrous combinations like &#8220;user and co-producer&#8221;.</p>
<p>Here I&#8217;ve got to give credit to somebody who seems to be <a href="http://snurb.info/information" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/snurb.info');">the first person who used the term <strong>produser</strong> on the net</a>, Dr. Axel Bruns. Hm.. nice site. I&#8217;ll stay a little longer and explore ..</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Data Mining Cup. Problems and solutions for Business Intelligence by students. A first glance at the data and some simple but significant grouping operations.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More then 2 weeks have passed since the beginning of the Data Mining Cup 2007 and I know you guys are pretty far by now. I guess many of you already assembled dozens of prediction rules and models and are finetuning their systems.<br />
But as I know myself, we all tend to draw conclusions much too fast. Let&#8217;s see if we have spend enough time on understanding and restructuring the data.</p>
<p>This is the very first statistic you should look at. The frequency of customer respondings on coupon <strong>A</strong> or <strong>B</strong> or <strong>N</strong>ot responding at all. Remember from the Scenario, that each person of the 50k recieved coupon A and B via mail and here we have the respondings:</p>
<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/coupons.PNG" alt="coupons" /></p>
<p>After performing some simple grouping operations on the customers you can see groups with significantly different frequencies.</p>
<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/coupons_group9.PNG" alt="group9" /></p>
<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/coupons_group31.PNG" alt="group31" /></p>
<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/coupons_group36.PNG" alt="group36" /></p>
<p>Shouldn&#8217;t we treat them different?<br />
Next time more on simple and not so simple grouping.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Business Cards should be planned and made with a lot of care. Vistaprint is a good service to realize your ideas.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow! Vistaprint did a damn good job. I ordered my <strong>Premium Business Cards</strong> on April 17th and got them today. Everything looks fine. Thick high-quality paper (265 g/m² or something like that) and luminous colours. Now I feel realy good about having that banner up there <strong>^^</strong></p>
<p>I have one hint for you. Don&#8217;t choose the more expensive 1 week delivery option.<br />
I&#8217;ve choosen the cheaper standard 2 weeks delivery and got them in one week anyway <img src='http://information-man.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Vistaprint has got a very easy to understand and user friendly website and they have got great system to upload your own images for higher customization.</p>
<p>But?: <a href="http://micheldeguilhermier.typepad.com/mdegblog/2007/01/vistaprint_does.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/micheldeguilhermier.typepad.com');">Vistaprint growth</a>, <a href="http://www.planetmike.com/journal/2007/04/24/vistaprint-sucks/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.planetmike.com');">Something to be carefull about</a></p>
<p><img src="http://information-man.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/business%20cards%20vistaprint.JPG" alt="business cards vistaprint" /></p>
<p>Does anybody have a different experience with their service?</p>
