"As an informational point, Google's has 4 times as much inbound RPC traffic as compared to REST traffic. And that may underestimate the difference, as RPCs can contain more than one request in a batch." - interesting

The Nike Experiment: How the Shoe Giant Unleashed the Power of Personal Metrics
june 2009 by sogrady
"We tend to think of our physical selves as a system that's simply too complex to comprehend. But what we've learned from companies like Google is that if you can collect enough data, there's no need for a grand theory to explain a phenomenon. You can observe it all through the numbers. Everything is data. You are your data, and once you understand that data, you can act on it."

Baseball Taps Wisdom of Fans - WSJ.com

Rob Neyer raised some legitimate objections to this in his blog, but i still think it can't hurt, even if it can't help. there are some very, very smart fans out there (e.g. the USS Mariner's Cameron); the challenge is identifying them and their work.
