Datamining to find customers - weird dream i had

Last night i dreamed about the fourth dimension.

I am doing advanced calculus at university - prob why.

Anyway I can explain it in 3d. I took a cube and the side is a square right.

So a square on one side is a line on the top, if you take another side and its line the intersect will give you a point on the top.

In my dream this was how i was equating who my target customers were. They were the points. They fell into two overlapping datasets which were the squares.

Except it was in 4d and the squares were cubes.

Now during the dream this was eureka material man. I had found the golden challice.

Really its datamining to find customers matching a criteria. But I will look into this now beacause I am intrigued.

    Data Mining has been going on forever.

    I only have one warning though:

    It is addicting!

    An addiction without a cure. Terminal and you will never be able to recover lost sanity.

    If you love math, as I do, your goning to love the ride into anaylising all that data.

    P.S. It's also where the big bucks are. And you can take the controls of any niche you want at any time.

    i gotta go now...I'm drooling over my keyboard.

        Its all about finding the people with "commercial intent".

        What i want to know right now is how to access the data sets in the first place.

          Well..that's a different story.

          Sometime tomorrow I'll try it get it together and pm you some of that info so you can get started.

          I'm not going to post that stuff on the forum because of the hangups between blackhat and whitehat and all that crap when it's really NoHat.
