Say you’re currently browsing entries in category "A", you can then drill down into entries that belong both to category A and another category, or belong to category A but not another category. For instance, you could list entries about demographics in the automotive sector, or entries about email marketing that are not about spam. Numbers in the columns below indicate how many entries the selected operation will narrow your query to. You can combine multiple intersection and exclusion criteria to further limit the number of entries.

Is it Really Worthwhile to Market on Twitter?
A new study by Edison Research provides a complex and multi-layered picture of Twitter - along with some interesting data points that suggest it may not be worthwhile for some companies to focus their online marketing efforts on the micro-blogging site.

Sony Sells Laptops, Sears Tweets Jobs: Alternative Uses of Twitter
Dell turned heads last year when it announced it sold $6.5 million worth of computers via Twitter. Since then, a few companies have tried to replicate this feat - in some cases with clear success. The larger question, though, is not so much how can a company use Twitter to sell - but rather, what other uses can the micro blogging site perform for companies aside from general brand awareness.
Companies can be forgiven, though, if their thoughts first turn to sales. As it happens, using Twitt [...]

Are Consumers Becoming More Suspicious of Social Networks?
The outrage over the privacy violations in Google Buzz reportedly took the company aback: tested internally at Google, the employees apparently loved it and assumed the general public would too. That was not the case. Buzz, when it was first released, connected people to those with whom they had been emailing the most - whether they opted for it or not.
Furthermore the network was transparent, meaning that contacts could see who else was in the network. Google received more than 9,000 an [...]
