This group is for people working in CI or interested in CI who are located in Western Canada or who would like to get connected with CI in Western Canada.
I have spent the last few years working in Asia for MNC's and Korean companies in the marketing management end of things. Now that I am back in North America I am planning to assist companies looking to enter and succeed in global markets. My hope is to refine my skills in CI as this is such an essential component of business strategy and planning.

Hi Doug,
I have a list of books you can check out on my website at http://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/profiles/comment/show?attachedTo=1ex6t4gwjhv34&attachedToType=User&commentid=chatter-2036441%3AComment%3A15483&xgsi=1 and look for the Internet books.

Well getting a clean feed takes a combination of good web-sources and appropriate taxonomy-based semantic filters. It seems your friend's RSS is clean and thus it may be worth to look at his/her taxonomy. Any insight?
Indeed Richard you seem pretty well covered as far as information retrieval is concerned.
What about analysis, sharing, collaboration with others? What about aggregating those feeds together?
Any insights would be helpful.
I use e-sobi. It is a rss and podcast feed reader. I can add the feeds I want, I can store pages for later use, I can set alerts. Seems to be more powerful than the free readers. SInce you can organize it the way you want, it provides a way to quick…
