Attention and Majestic Research Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Steve Gillmor has been talking about the value of "attention data." But no one's been able to pinpoint what attention is actually worth. It looks like Majestic Research is looking at attention data to try and predict the direction of stock prices. And that's worth some money.

Would you spend 2 million to make 20 million? If Majestic can get it right, there's money to be made. Of course that's a big if.

But it's not your data or my data that's worth money. It's data that adds up to a large enough sample size to understand consumer behavior as an emerging event -- and then tie that to specific sectors, companies and stock direction.

Of course there may be other models, but here's an early one.
