I blatantly missed Facebook Apps as a form of data mining. My focus was on Digital Data Mining Companies...and not on superficial data mining such as favorite groups. On a brighter note, I now have so much information to write about that it's going to be an issue writing only 10 pages.
I feel that I need to bring more sources into the paper. Sources that view the subject of data mining from differing perspectives, as well as a wider variety of sources.
Past that, I am happy with where I am in the writing process. I have just recently completed my tentative finalized outline. Now the easy part begins...the rough draft lol
Fieldwork could give more depth to my research paper. I am most likely going to interview Dr. Lenz on his thoughts about data mining. There is a lot of research about marketing regarding tapping into social networks. However, I would like more information about data mining to add more substance to my paper.
