Web Analytics Demystified approaches web analytics and optimization consulting like no one else. Our firm is staffed entirely by experts — we don't have "entry level staff", junior analyst, account managers, or annoying sales people. What's more, we don't sell "hours" or "time and materials" engagements — we sell 100% client satisfaction. If you're not happy with our work for any reason we will keep working until you are.
If you're frustrated with the support you've been getting from your analytics consulting firm ... if you're tired of dealing with a "revolving door" of analysts ... if your vendor has been sold or is in danger of going out of business ... or if you're just tired of paying too much for the same old crappy results, call us.
Contact us today to learn about our consulting services!
Our Strategic Audit and Transformation Roadmap engagement is designed to help any organization dramatically improve their return on investment in digital measurement, analysis, and optimization. Beginning with a Strategic Value Assessment, Senior Partners Eric T. Peterson and John Lovett will conduct a 200-point audit detailing your business' current use of technology, human resources, and business processes as well as how you govern these activities.
We compare your assessment against our framework designed to maximize effectiveness by shifting the focus of digital analytics from data collection and reporting to insights and actions. Our Senior Partners will then transform your audit into a detailed 12 to 24-month strategic roadmap describing the priorities and necessary changes. This framework becomes your business' task list to govern a digital analytics transformation.
Areas we typically explore during these sessions include:
Our strategy work has benefited many of the best known companies around the world including Best Buy, AARP, Phillips, Dell, and many, many more. The Strategic Value Assessment and Strategy Roadmap Development offering is typically coupled with our Executive Retainer Services to ensure adherence to the plan and to account for myriad changes as they occur.
When it comes to Adobe SiteCatalyst, there is no other firm that can match Web Analytics Demystified's expertise. The SiteCatalyst Audit engagement is designed to help you maximize your investment in SiteCatalyst. During this engagement you will work directly with Senior Partner Adam Greco, the world's most recognized authority on SiteCatalyst, to evaluate and dramatically improve your use of the SiteCatalyst web analytics solution. Adam Greco, one of the early employees of Omniture, has helped clients across the globe audit and improve their SiteCatalyst implementations. Through his Inside SiteCatalyst blog and his "Omni Man" Omniture blog, Adam Greco has shared more education, tips and tricks related to SiteCatalyst than anyone else worldwide. In 2012, Adobe has tapped Adam Greco to write the first-ever book on Adobe SiteCatalyst - The Adobe SiteCatalyst Handbook: An Insider's Guide.
Every business using SiteCatalyst strives to have its implementation capture the most valuable pieces of data possible to meet website objectives. Unfortunately, it is often the case that SiteCatalyst implementations devolve over time. Whether the cause is ever-changing requirements, new team members, or a lack of experience, many SiteCatalyst implementations end up delivering incrementally smaller insights, value, and return on investment. Additionally, since every business is unique, there has traditionally not been a guide that will tell businesses what they should and should not be tracking in SiteCatalyst.
At Web Analytics Demystified, we have been associated with hundreds of SiteCatalyst implementations over the past decades and have used this experience to create a proprietary SiteCatalyst Audit framework that encompasses the "best practices" we see across the most successful companies. Our SiteCatalyst Audit allows us to rate or score any SiteCatalyst implementation, regardless of maturity or industry vertical and make strategic recommendations for improvement.
During the SiteCatalyst Audit, Web Analytics Demystified will review your primary dataset and score it against our SiteCatalyst Audit framework. While our SiteCatalyst Audit framework has over 100 different elements, we tailor our assessment to each client's specific needs and vertical market.
To learn more about the SiteCatalyst Audit, you can read Adam Greco's SiteCatalyst Audit blog post.
During the SiteCatalyst Audit, Web Analytics Demystified will help you understand::
Adam's work with SiteCatalyst has helped hundreds of companies around the world including Best Buy, AutoDesk, Symantec, Nike, and more.
Testing, targeting and site optimization is perhaps the single hottest topic in the digital measurement space these days and for good reason: testing is a well-proven strategy to begin to transform digital measurement from a cost center into a profit center for the business. But testing isn't easy — far from it, despite what some will say — and a solid testing and targeting program for your business requires more upfront consideration than most companies realize.
At Web Analytics Demystified we have helped many of the best known companies on the Internet develop and implement their testing and optimization efforts, and have worked side-by-side with clients who have literally created millions of incremental dollars from little more than solid insights and well-written test plans.
As part of our Testing Audit and Framework Development offering we will help your business:
We believe this last point is perhaps the most significant: if you want to get testing off the ground quickly within your business, Web Analytics Demystified has the demonstrated experience to make that happen.
Web Analytics Demystified provides a wide range of implementation services designed to provide the greatest return on investment and truly maximize the downstream efficiency of any team relying on the accuracy of their data. By optimizing implementation offerings through standardized processes and technological automation our clients create sustainable, repeatable processes to eliminate the natural chaos that can exist between all of the touch points found within a "move-to-production" model.
We collaborate with Development and Operational teams to deliver the following types of services:
Web Analytics Demystified have led and participated in many of the most complex and comprehensive digital measurement system deployments in the past ten years and have both the experience and technical knowledge required to save your business significant costs and headaches.
Without a doubt, the single most important component of any digital measurement program is people. Hard-working researchers to pull the right data, smart analysts to translate the data into valuable insights, and sophisticated managers to present those insights in such a way that management can use them to take action. Unfortunately all too many companies have far too few people focused on digital measurement efforts internally. The reasons are myriad — no budget, hard to find qualified staff, salaries are too high, etc. — but at the end of the day, not having people committed to ongoing reporting and analysis destroys nearly all of your investment in measurement technology.
Web Analytics Demystified can help you solve your people problem. Our analysts have worked in the measurement industry for a minimum of three years, either for a major vendor like Adobe Analytics or a business powerhouse like Salesforce.com, Ariba, or HP. Through our Ongoing Reporting and Analysis service offering, Web Analytics Demystified can:
Our most popular offering, and one that can be leveraged by nearly any size business, our Ongoing Reporting, Analysis, and Staff Development service can help you profoundly transform your investment in measurement.
Social media is the fastest emerging channel in the digital spectrum, and while many companies are investing heavily in their social marketing activities few have taken the time to create strategic plans for measuring this investment. In many cases analytics is the afterthought and costly initiatives launch without adequate measures of success in place.
Web Analytics Demystified has applied our significant experience measuring and analyzing online properties to social media. The result is our Social Analytics Framework, co-authored with Jeremiah Owyang and Charlene Li of Altimeter Group. Developed by the forward-most thinking professionals in digital measurement and analysis, we deliver an offering like none other.
The Social Analytics Audit and Strategy Roadmap provides clients with:
Regardless of whether you are focused on Twitter, Facebook, or something completely new in social media, Web Analytics Demystified's Senior Partners are here to help you establish a program for social media analytics.
Most companies jump right into using digital measurement and optimization tools without having fully been trained on all of their capabilities. At Web Analytics Demystified we believe this is a huge mistake: why would you expect to appreciate any financial benefit from your investment in digital measurement without ensuring your staff are able to take complete advantage of the technology provided? Web Analytics Demystified employs some of the world's leaders in digital measurement technology and, through our educational services, can help your team go above and beyond what most end-users know about their web analytics tools.
Training and educational services can be provided on-site or online and include the following:
The Web Analytics Demystified Partners have directly trained and indirectly influenced thousands of analysts and measurement practitioners around the world since 2002.
As web sites become increasingly complicated nearly every organization eventually realizes they have far too many tag-based systems deployed in far too haphazard a manner. The solution is the deployment of a Tag Management System (TMS), essentially a content management system for tag-based applications. Web Analytics Demystified are recognized thought-leaders on the subject of TMS and can help you audit your site and organization to determine:
If you have interest in this exciting approach towards data collection and digital systems management we recommend reading our white paper on the subject, The Myth of the Universal Tag.
Communicating web analytics results in an easily understood and sustainable format is often considered the "last mile" of any web analytics deployment. Web Analytics Demystified works with multiple digital measurement solutions, vendors, and platforms to create integrated, multi-channel dashboards and holistic "effectiveness monitoring" across the business. Our highly customized solutions are able to support:
If you'd like a live demonstration of our dashboards or would like to discuss our approach towards data integration and visualization please email us directly.
Is On-Demand Radio the Next Big Digital Channel? Tim Wilson, Partner
No, I'm not referring to SecondLife (which, BTW, is still around and, apparently, still has life in it). I'm referring to the fact that podcasts just turned ten, and there are a lot of signs that they might be one of the "next big things" in digital. Earlier this year, when I wrote a post announcing the launch of the Digital Analytics Power Hour podcast, I listed three examples as to how it seemed like podcasts were making a comeback ...

The Right Use for Real Time Data Michele Kiss, Senior Partner
Vendors commonly pitch the need for "real-time" data and insights, without due consideration for the process, tools and support needed to act upon it. So when is real-time an advantage for an organization, and when does it serve as a distraction? And how should analysts respond to requests for real-time data and dashboards?

Using Excel to Count Text Occurrences Tim Wilson, Partner
I had this come up a couple of weeks ago with a client, and I realized it was something I'd done dozens of times…but had never written down the "how" on doing. So, here we go. This is a post about one very specific application of Excel, but it is also implicitly a post about how, with an intermediate level of knowledge of Excel, with a little bit of creativity, and a strong aversion to manually parsing/copying/pasting anything, a spreadsheet can accomplish a lot! And very quickly!
The Curse of Bounce Rate and 'Easy' Metrics ... Michele Kiss, Senior Partner
One of the benefits of having a number of friends in the analytics industry is the spirited (read: nerdy) debates we get in to. In one such recent discussion, we went back and forth over the merits of "bounce rate." I am (often vehemently) against the use of "bounce rate." However, when I stepped back, I realized you could summarize my argument against bounce rate quite simply ...
Happy New Year from Web Analytics and Team Demystified Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
Happy belated new year to everyone reading this blog — on behalf of everyone at Web Analytics Demystified and Team Demystified I sincerely hope you had a wonderful and relaxing holiday season and that you're ready to wade back into the analytical and optimization fray! Since I last wrote a few cool things have happened ...

Introducing the Digital Analytics Power Hour Podcast Tim Wilson, Partner
Happy New Year! Reflecting on 2014, I have to give it high marks from a personal and professional fulfillment front, and I'm looking to outperform those results in 2015 ... by podcasting!
Every Analyst Should Follow fivethirtyeight.com Tim Wilson, Partner
I'll admit it: I'm a Nate Silver fanboy. That fandom is rooted in my political junky-ism and dates back to the first iteration of fivethirtyeight.com back in 2008. Since then, Silver joined the New York Times, so fivethirtyeight.com migrated to be part of that media behemoth, and, more recently, Silver left the New York Times for ESPN — another media behemoth.
Demystified's Data Governance Principles John Lovett, Senior Partner
In digital analytics, "Governance" is a term that is used casually to mean many different things. In our experience at Web Analytics Demystified, every organization inherently recognizes that governance is an important component of their data strategy, yet every company has a different interpretation of what it means to govern their data. In an effort to dispel the misconceptions surrounding what it means to truly steward digital data, Web Analytics Demystified has developed seven data governance principles that all organizations collecting and using digital data should adhere to.

Three Foundational Tips to Successfully Recruit in Analytics Michele Kiss, Partner
Hiring in the competitive analytics industry is no easy feat. In most organizations, it can be hard enough to get headcount – let alone actually find the right person! These three foundational tips are drawn from successful hiring processes in a variety of verticals and organizations.
Slack Demystified Adam Greco, Senior Partner
Those of you who follow my blog have come to know that when I learn a product (like Adobe SiteCatalyst), I really get to know it and evangelize it. Back in the 90′s I learned the Lotus Notes enterprise collaboration software and soon became one of the most proficient Lotus Notes developers in the world, building most of Arthur Andersen's global internal Lotus Notes apps. In the 2000′s, I came across Omniture SiteCatalyst, and after a while had published hundreds of blog posts on Omniture's (Adobe's) website and my own and eventually a book! One of my favorite pastimes is finding creative ways to apply a technology to solve everyday problems or to make life easier.

Profile Website Visitors via Campaign Codes and More Adam Greco, Senior Partner
One of the things customers ask me about is the ability to profile website visitors. Unfortunately, most visitors to websites are anonymous, so you don't know if they are young, old, rich, poor, etc. If you are lucky enough to have authentication or a login on your website, you may have some of this information, but for most of my clients the "known" percentage is relatively low. In this post, I'll share some things you can do to increase your visitor profiling by using advertising campaigns and other tools.
A Primer on Cookies in Web Analytics Josh West, Partner
Some of you may have noticed that I don't blog as much as some of my colleagues (not to mention any names, but this one, this one, or this one). The main reason is that I'm a total nerd (just ask my wife), but in a way that is different from most analytics professionals. I don't spend all day in the data - I spend all data writing code. And it's often hard to translate code into entertaining blog posts, especially for the folks that tend to spend a lot of time reading what my partners have to say.

Excel Dropdowns Done Right Tim Wilson, Partner
Do you used in-cell dropdowns in your spreadsheets? I used them all the time. It's both an ease-of-use and a data quality maneuver: clicking a dropdown is faster than typing a value, and it's really hard to mis-type a value when you're not actually typing!
The Downfall of Tesco and the Omniscience of Analytics Michele Kiss, Partner
Yesterday, an article in the Harvard Business Review provided food for thought for the analytics industry. In Tesco's Downfall Is a Warning to Data-Driven Retailers, author Michael Schrage ponders how a darling of the "analytics as a competitive advantage" stories, British retailer Tesco, failed so spectacularly - despite a wealth of data and customer insight.
Creating Conversion Funnels via Segmentation Adam Greco, Senior Partner
Regardless of what type of website you manage, it is bound to have some sort of conversion funnel. If you are an online retailer, your funnel may consist of people looking at products, selecting products, and then buying products. If you are a B2B company, your funnel may be higher-level like acquisition, research, trial and then form completion.
10 Tips for Building a Dashboard in Excel Tim Wilson, Partner
This post has an unintentionally link bait-y post title, I realize. But, I did a quick thought experiment a few weeks ago after walking a client through the structure of a dashboard I'd built for them to see if I could come up with ten discrete tips that I'd put to use when I built it. Turns out…I can!
Exploring Optimal Post Timing ... Redux Tim Wilson, Partner
Back in 2012, I developed an Excel worksheet that would take post-level data exported from Facebook Insights and do a little pivot tabling on it to generate some simple heat maps that would provide a visual way to explore when, for a given page, the optimal times of day and days of the week are for posting.
What I Love: Adobe and Google Analytics* Tim Wilson, Partner
While in Atlanta last week for ACCELERATE, I got into the age-old discussion of "Adobe Analytics vs. Google Analytics." I'm up to my elbows in both of them, and they're both gunning for each other, so this list is a lot shorter than it would have been a couple of years ago.
Top 5 Metrics You're Measuring Incorrectly ... or Not Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
Last night as I was casually perusing the days digital analytics news - yes, yes I really do that - I came across a headline and article that got my attention. While the article's title ("Top 5 Metrics You're Measuring Incorrectly") is the sort I am used to seeing in our Buzzfeed-ified world of pithy "made you click" headlines, it was the article's author that got my attention.
Bulletproof Business Requirements John Lovett, Senior Partner
As a digital analytics professional, you've probably been tasked with collecting business requirements for measuring a new website/app/feature/etc. This seems like a task that's easy enough, but all too often people get wrapped around the axle and fail to capture what's truly important from a business users' perspective. The result is typically a great deal of wasted time, frustrated business users, and a deep-seated distrust for analytics data.
Welcome to Team Demystified: Nancy Koons and Elizabeth Eckels! Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
I am delighted to announce that our Team Demystified business unit is continuing to expand with the addition of Nancy Koons and Elizabeth "Smalls" Eckels. Our Team Demystified efforts are exceeding all expectation and are allowing Web Analytics Demystified to provide truly world-class services to our Enterprise-class clients at an entirely new scale.
When to Use Variables vs SAINT in Adobe Analytics Adam Greco, Senior Partner
In one of my recent Adobe SiteCatalyst (Analytics) "Top Gun" training classes, a student asked me the following question: When should you use a variable (i.e. eVar or sProp) vs. using SAINT Classifications? This is an interesting question that comes up often, so I thought I would share my thoughts on this and my rules of thumb on the topic.
5 Tips for #ACCELERATE Exceptionalism Tim Wilson, Partner
Next month's ACCELERATE conference in Atlanta on September 18th will be the fifth - FIFTH!!! - one. I wish I could say I'd attended every one, but, sadly, I missed Boston due to a recent job change at the time. I was there in San Francisco in 2010, I made a day trip to Chicago in 2011, and I personally scheduled fantastic weather for Columbus in 2013.
I've Become Aware that Awareness Is a #measure Bugaboo Tim Wilson, Partner
A Big Question that social and digital media marketers grapple with constantly, whether they realize it or not: Is "awareness" a valid objective for marketing activity? I've gotten into more than a few heated debates that, at their core, center around this question. Some of those debates have been with myself (those are the ones where I most need a skilled moderator!).
Advanced Conversion Syntax Merchandising Adam Greco, Senior Partner
As I have mentioned in the past, one of the Adobe SiteCatalyst (Analytics) topics I loathe talking about is Product Merchandising. Product Merchandising is complicated and often leaves people scratching their heads in my "Top Gun" training classes. However, many people have mentioned to me that my previous post on Product Merchandising eVars helped them a lot so I am going to continue sharing information on this topic.
Team Demystified Update from Wendy Greco Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
When Eric Peterson asked me to lead Team Demystified a year ago, I couldn't say no! Having seen how hard all of the Web Analytics Demystified partners work and that they are still not able to keep up with the demand of clients for their services, it made sense for Web Analytics Demystified to find another way to scale their services. Since the Demystified team knows all of the best people in our industry and has tons of great clients, it is not surprising that our new Team Demystified venture has taken off as quickly as it has.
SiteCatalyst Unannounced Features Adam Greco, Senior Partner
Lately, Adobe has been sneaking in some cool new features into the SiteCatalyst product and doing it without much fanfare. While I am sure these are buried somewhere in release notes, I thought I'd call out two of them that I really like, so you know that they are there.
Hello. I'm a Radical Analytics Pragmatist Tim Wilson, Partner
I was reading a post last week by one of the Big Names in web analytics…and it royally pissed me off. I started to comment and then thought, "Why pick a fight?" We've had more than enough of those for our little industry over the past few years. So I let it go. Except I didn't let it go.
Competitor Pricing Analysis Adam Greco, Senior Partner
One of my newest clients is in a highly competitive business in which they sell similar products as other retailers. These days, many online retailers have a hunch that they are being "Amazon-ed," which they define as visitors finding products on their website and then going to see if they can get it cheaper/faster on Amazon.com. This client was attempting to use time spent on page as a way to tell if/when visitors were leaving their site to go price shopping.
How to Deliver Better Recommendations: Forecast the Impact! Michele Kiss, Partner
One of the most valuable ways to be sure your recommendations are heard is to forecast the impact of your proposal. Consider what is more likely to be heard: "I think we should do X ..." vs "I think we should do X, and with a 2% increase in conversion, that would drive a $1MM increase in revenue ..."
ACCELERATE 2014 "Advanced Analytics Education" Classes Posted Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
I am delighted to share the news that our 2014 "Advanced Analytics Education" classes have been posted and are available for registration. We expanded our offering this year and will be offering four concurrent analytics and optimization training sessions from all of the Web Analytics Demystified Partners and Senior Partners on September 16th and 17th at the Cobb Galaria in Atlanta, Georgia.
Product Cart Addition Sequence Adam Greco, Senior Partner
In working with a client recently, an interesting question arose around cart additions. This client wanted to know the order in which visitors were adding products to the shopping cart. Which products tended to be added first, second third, etc.? They also wanted to know which products were added after a specific product was added to the cart (i.e. if a visitor adds product A, what is the next product they tend to add?). Finally, they wondered which cart add product combinations most often lead to orders.
7 Tips For Delivering Better Analytics Recommendations Michele Kiss, Partner
As an analyst, your value is not just in the data you deliver, but in the insight and recommendations you can provide. But what is an analyst to do when those recommendations seem to fall on deaf ears?
Overcoming The Analyst Curse: DON'T Show Your Math! Michele Kiss, Partner
If I could give one piece of advice to an aspiring analyst, it would be this: Stop showing your "math". A tendency towards "TMI deliverables" is common, especially in newer analysts. However, while analysts typically do this in an attempt to demonstrate credibility ("See? I used all the right data and methods!") they do so at the expense of actually being heard.
Making Tables of Numbers Comprehensible Tim Wilson, Partner
I'm always amazed (read: dismayed) when I see the results of an analysis presented with a key set of the results delivered as a raw table of numbers. It is impossible to instantly comprehend a data table that has more than 3 or 4 rows and 3 or 4 columns. And, "instant comprehension" should be the goal of any presentation of information - it's the hook that gets your audience's brain wrapped around the material and ready to ponder it more deeply.
Automating the Cleanup of Facebook Insights Exports Tim Wilson, Partner
This post (the download, really - it's not much of a post) is about dealing with exports from Facebook Insights. If that's not something you do, skip it. Go back to Facebook and watch some cat videos. If you are in a situation where you get data about your Facebook page by exporting .csv or .xls files from the Facebook Insights web interface, then you probably sometimes think you need a 52" monitor to manage the horizontal scrolling.
The Recent Forrester Wave on Web Analytics ... is Wrong Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
Having worked as an industry analyst back in the day I still find myself interested in what the analyst community has to say about web analytics, especially when it comes to vendor evaluation. The evaluations are interesting because of the sheer amount of work that goes into them in an attempt to distill entire companies down into simple infographics, tables, and single paragraph summaries.
Funnel Visualizations That Make Sense Tim Wilson, Partner
Funnels, as a concept, make some sense (although someone once made a good argument that they make no sense, since, when the concept is applied by marketers, the funnel is really more a "very, very leaky funnel," which would be a worthless funnel - real-world funnels get all of a liquid from a wide opening through a smaller spout; but, let's not quibble).
Reenergizing Your Web Analytics Program & Implementation Adam Greco, Senior Partner
Those of you who have read my blog posts (and book) over the years, know that I have lots of opinions when it comes to web analytics, web analytics implementations and especially those using Adobe Analytics. Whenever possible, I try to impart lessons I have learned during my web analytics career so you can improve things at your organization.
Registration for ACCELERATE 2014 is now open Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
I am excited to announce that registration for ACCELERATE 2014 on September 18th in Atlanta, Georgia is now open. You can learn more about the event and our unique "Ten Tips in Twenty Minutes" format on our ACCELERATE mini-site, and we plan to have registration open for our Advanced Analytics Education pre-ACCELERATE training sessions in the coming weeks.
Current Order Value Adam Greco, Senior Partner
I recently had a client pose an interesting question related to their shopping cart. They wanted to know the distribution of money its visitors were bringing with them to each step of the shopping cart funnel.
A Guide to Segment Sharing in Adobe Analytics Tim Wilson, Partner
Over the past year, I've run into situations multiple times where I wanted an Adobe Analytics segment to be available in multiple Adobe Analytics platforms. It turns out…that's not as easy as it sounds. I actually went multiple rounds with Client Care once trying to get it figured out. And, I've found "the answer" on more than one occasion, only to later realize that that answer was a bit misguided.
Currencies & Exchange Rates Adam Greco, Senior Partner
If your web analytics work covers websites or apps that span different countries, there are some important aspects of Adobe SiteCatalyst (Analytics) that you must know. In this post, I will share some of the things I have learned over the years related to currencies and exchange rates in SiteCatalyst.
Linking Authenticated Visitors Across Devices Adam Greco, Senior Partner
In the last few years, people have become accustomed to using multiple digital devices simultaneously. While watching the recent winter Olympics, consumers might be on the Olympics website, while also using native mobile or tablet apps. As a result, some of my clients have asked me whether it is possible to link visits and paths across these devices so they can see cross-device paths and other behaviors.
The 80/20 Rule for Analytics Teams Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
I had the pleasure last week of visiting with one of Web Analytics Demystified's longest-standing and, at least from a digital analytical perspective, most successful clients. The team has grown tremendously over the years in terms of size and, more importantly, stature within the broader multi-channel business and has become one of the most productive and mature digital analytics groups that I personally am aware of across the industry.
Ten Things You Should ALWAYS Do (or Not Do) in Excel Tim Wilson, Partner
Last week I was surprised by the Twitter conversation a fairly innocuous vent-via-Twitter tweet started, with several people noting that they had no idea you could simple turn off the gridlines.
Omni Man (and Team Demystified) Needs You! Adam Greco, Senior Partner
As someone in the web analytics field, you probably hear how lucky you are due to the fact that there are always web analytics jobs available. When the rest of the country is looking for work and you get daily calls from recruiters, it isn't a bad position to be in! At Web Analytics Demystified, we have more than doubled in the past year and still cannot keep up with the demand, so I am reaching out to you ...
A Useful Framework for Social Media "Engagements" Tim Wilson, Partner
Whether you have a single toe dipped in the waters of social media analytics or are fully submerged and drowning, you've almost certainly grappled with "engagement." This post isn't going to answer the question "Is engagement ROI?" ...
It's not about "Big Data", it's about the "RIGHT data" Michele Kiss, Partner
Unless you've been living under a rock, you have heard (and perhaps grown tired) of the buzzword "big data." But in attempts to chase the "next shiny thing", companies may focus too much on "big data" rather than the "right data."

Great Computx, this would be helpful :-)
Also, don't forget to install the latest BIOS update.
It is really bad that new boards still need bootable images to flash the bios, Asus and Gigabyte only require a storage media like partitioned fat(32) usb drive to read the bios file and flash it with integrated flash tool. If you can live with 1 core you can try
to see if acpi tables are so broken that it does not start. A new kernel would also interesting as acpi was changed serveral times. Maybe a short test with moblin which uses 2.6.29 rc7.
Well i have got 2.6.29 live images, but not that board. I can create basically live images with any kernel which has an aufs module, squashfs 4 is now standard and not problematic at all.
I am back, just finished installing the board in my computer and am posting this using the mobo and 8.10 ubuntu.
I did hook up the molex plug even though the manual said it was unnecessary except for crossfire/ sli mode. I am not doing sli however.
My specs are Core 2 Duo e6850, Geforce 8600, 4 gigs ram, Ubuntu linux 8.10 x64.
I didn't use an installer disk I just moved the asrock board into the case and hooked up all the drives. I could try booting the live cd but I don't believe that would give problems when a previous install does not.
Network, sound, opengl 3d desktop all seem to be working well. Maybe the phoronix reviewer should try again.
Just to let you know, this board has worked flawlessly with Ubuntu since 9.10.

Summer, 2012
My name is Ingrid Rivera, and I was born on August 13, 1979. I am 32 years old and was diagnosed with PPH in 2003. I live in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. As many of you know, PH doesn't have many visible symptoms. Since I can remember, I have always loved sports; in school I was on the women's football team, volleyball team and cheerleading squad.

When You Set Your Mind To It, Nothing Is ImpossibleFall, 2011
My name is Denneys Niemandt, and I am a 52-year-old male from the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa. My journey with pulmonary hypertension began on a sunny Saturday in September 2006 when my wife, Sonja, and I went looking for a new family car. At the car dealership, I started feeling out of breath and experiencing tightness in my chest and pain in my right arm. I asked my wife twice why they were switching the lights on and off in the showroom, not realizing that I was having a blackout. Read more
From India, with LoveJuly, 2011
I love the monsoons in Bombay, where I and my wife grew up, went to college together, dated, married and had two lovely kids. But on that dark August day last year, the torrent seemed to beat my chest as I stepped outside the doctor's chamber. In a span of a week, the diagnosis for my wife's breathlessness had shifted from atrial septal defect to primary pulmonary hypertension. The first reaction was that of disbelief. I went in for second and third opinions fervently hoping that the doctors would dig out the 'hole' that the first echo had erringly put the cause to. The 'no known cause' line stayed and PPH was the new guest at our place. Read more

My name is Shakeela Naz. I am a 23-year-old software engineer, and I live in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. I was born with Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and skeletal anomalies in my left arm and both hands due to Holt-Oram Syndrome (which was inherited from my mother). At age 4, my ASD was repaired via an open-heart surgery. Life went smoothly afterwards, and I lived perfectly healthy for the next 14 years. Read more

When You Set Your Mind To It, Nothing Is ImpossibleApril, 2010 | courtesy of PHA Canada
"Well, this doesn't appear to have anything to do with your heart… I suspect you may be in the early stages of pulmonary hypertension." Those were the words that first brought this condition to my attention: a condition that over the next few months and years would so dominate my life, my thinking and my belief in what could and could not be done.
I had just left the office of a cardiologist, referred to me by my family physician after some abnormalities appeared in my chest x-ray and subsequent EKG after a bout with pneumonia. I wasn't suffering from any obvious symptoms, other than the occasional shortness of breath, which I attributed to weight gain over the years and to just "getting older." It was January 2005, and I headed home thinking "hypertension; well this can't be that bad. Watch what I eat, my salt intake, lose some weight, take a daily pill and all will be good. Just check out this pulmonary thing on the Internet and…" POW! Read more
I was born with an interventricular communication, and when I was five years old, I had surgery to fix it. I remember that throughout my childhood and adolescence I was always in a permanent state of tiredness. I could not run or jump like my siblings and friends because I got worn-out very quickly. My parents thought it was due to the heart surgery, and I grew up believing that I was constantly tired for that reason.
It was not until five years ago when, after several misdiagnoses, I was finally diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. I remember that moment being very sad and difficult for my family and me. We received information about a condition that we had never heard of and did not totally understand, and we were told there was no medicine or treatment that might help me. I felt fear and sadness, and I think my parents felt that way also. None of us expressed these feelings out loud. Read more

*My ticket into the Shirts on Sale Sad Rat Race Bah! Missed this shirt? To buy it, click here!
wow. took me a good 2 seconds to get it
Wow, I'm the first sucker. Cool.
llo. Kind of comical
Sad that it took me a minute to get the joke. I need sleep.
ironic that whenever I would wear that shirt it would be after it had been sitting in the dryer for a couple days = wrinkly
is it just me or is the design smaller than it was in the derby? Definitely NOT a bad thing. Just saying. Oh yeah, and I'm in for 1.
Yay!! I was so hoping this one would win, now I have my little sister's birthday pressie! (she loves to iron and clean... don't know where she gets it from!)
We call this color: So Bad, It's Grass. Yeah (I was going to say something, but I'm going to respectfully decline)... I'm going to have to pass on this one. Grats to the collaborative duo on this one, but I'm not into it.
Clever tshirt. Congrats snakeweber :D
what a horrible slogan... isn't there a better one?
Congrats snakeweber! This slogan is by far my favorite. It's so funny!
Congrats Rob and Brett! Great shirt! $$$$$
this shirt just made me buy the Zelda one, because summer is approaching and you aint giving me much here woot
Despite all the controversy, congratulations to the artists.
Ordered one for my brother's Birthday. The phrase is spectacular, the color, not so much...
Thanks for resizing it woot!
Love it. Love the color. In for one.
Oldyeller89 wrote:ironic that whenever I would wear that shirt it would be after it had been sitting in the dryer for a couple days = wrinkly
Now that would be truly the irony of it. If they could guarantee this shirt is always wrinkled I would buy it.
Just a warning: DON'T FORGET THAT YOUR ORDER WON'T SHIP UNTIL THE 27TH!!!
Congrats on the win but day 3 of...paaaaaannnnnnncakkkkkesssss!?
Congrats. I must say I'm surprised by the high number of votes. Maybe you will get a sellout
Yay, I was hoping this shirt would win. In for one shirt full of punny goodness.
What's with these designs the last couple of days? I want curvy colorful shapes and figures please :]
It's cute, but the very injustice of its continued existence precludes even the consideration of a buy for me. Oh, and it's still just text on a shirt.
HILARIOUS! Especially since my husband and a few of my friends and I were discussing the use of the word irony in the Alanis song when it came on at Starbucks tonight. I'm going to have a hard time not buying 3 shirts this weekend. . . I'm a sucker for silly slogan shirts.
chushev wrote:What's with these designs the last couple of days? I want curvy colorful shapes and figures please :]
Well, it was a text only derby so you'll be disappointed until at least Monday.
Seattlejo wrote:Congrats. I must say I'm surprised by the high number of votes. Maybe you will get a sellout
Actually, 600 is relatively low for the winner of a derby.
The design I'm working on for the derby (which opens tomorrow) will have curvy colourful shapes and figures...
blahmcblah wrote:Oh, and it's still just text on a shirt.
Slogan derby makes for a slow weekend...
JadenKale wrote:That's not irony just because it's in a song called "Ironic".
Most of the "examples" in the song aren't ironic at all. You don't have to know literary terms to write a song, I guess.
so i missed all the drama, was this rejected in the past or something?
Just paid money on random investments... I can't... I just can't but I love it. I might be too tempted if the Carmen San Diego shirt does come up anyway.
maltzmania wrote:Congrats Rob and Brett! Great shirt! $$$$$
I get it, Maltz. It's a $5 reference! Way to go on the win, lads. I never had a doubt!
jamesbottomtooth wrote:so i missed all the drama, was this rejected in the past or something?
It was rejected DURING the derby last week. Then, by some stroke of luck we're still unable to understand at this moment, it was reinstated WITH all its votes intact. No one has had that done for them since the derby's inception. It created a lot of 'drama' to say the least.
I hadn't noticed that until you said it... It definitely reminds of one of his jokes, but it seems like on of the jokes where he would shake his head and look down right after he said it.
This should have been a Mother's Day shirt... ouch... ok, just kidding! Uh, hey, put that iron down, Mom!!!
In for one. Yay, I was hoping it would win. =]
I missed where this was get out markers and write babble on a shirt week. Also this is an old joke so obviously the quote is not original, but I am sure the handwriting is.
Dear woot community, I'd like good shirt choices in the future. Stop voting up the cheap laughs. Thanks

I challenge you to substantiate that.

Not dry at all. I am able to now replicate this 80% of the time. My main factors have been the length of time I am able to leave the dough out before I have to feed everyone & the weather. I live in Seattle & well ya know it's wet & windy here that effects the wfo.
What are the round green things?
Doodneyy, those are some of the coolest pictures of the oven in progress I have seen. Pies look great too!

Andie West is a natural-born dancer. And her incredible abilities have been her only joy since her mother died. But even though she's been living with her mom's best friend, Sarah, her loyalties reside with a crew of urban dancers called the 410.The 410 live to be the best dance crew on the street. They stage impromptu public dance experiences (in places like, say, a moving subway car), videotape themselves and post the footage online to boast of their daring and skill. One such excursion, however, gets them labeled as "public disturbances" by the police.After Andie's repeated incidents involving skipping school and wild behavior, her face on the news is the last straw for Sarah. She decides that the rebellious girl must be shipped off to her aunt's home in Texas. But before being exiled to the Lone Star State, Andie gets one last chance to audition at a local arts college.The Maryland School of Arts is a prestigious institution. Getting in the front door is tough. But with some help from the school director's younger brother, Chase, Andie makes the grade. The director is determined to help Andie become a disciplined dancer, something the teen isn't so sure about herself. She's also a little wary of Chase's reputation as a "player." On top of that, all her time spent at school gets her kicked out of the 410.What to do? Well, there's only one choice now: Andie must form a new crew—made up of quirky-but-gifted college outcasts—and take it 2 the Streets.
When Andie gets bounced from the 410, her good friend Missy quits too, and she follows Andie to her new crew. Andie's college friends thank her for supporting them and challenging them to do their best. Sarah eventually recognizes and acknowledges strengths in Andie that she hadn't seen before. Chase confides in Andie that her involvement at school makes him feel more normal.
A dancer puts his palms together in the form of praying hands during a dance move. Andie speaks to Chase when he can't see her, and he looks up and says, "God?"
Sexual imagery is where Step Up 2 gets its shoestrings a bit tangled. By today's ever-slipping standards, the crews' dance moves aren't hyper-sexualized. But they still feature plenty of hip shaking, crotch cupping, body rubbing and "booty" bouncing—not to mention a group-dance finale in the rain that plasters participants' clothing to their skin. Elsewhere, Andie and another girl waggle their backsides at the camera and into the mirror while rehearsing in the dance studio.Andie tends to trot around in ... not much. Sometimes she wears as little as a bra and sweatpants. Her other wardrobe selections include cleavage-baring T-shirts, midriff-revealing tops cropped two-thirds of the way up her torso and sweatpants that hang below her hipbones. Other young women frequently wear form-fitting shirts, sports bras, bikini tops and low-cut blouses as well.A couple guys take off their shirts while dancing or working out. One young man reveals a well-defined upper body, while others compare their abs. As a joke, a guy wears a bra.Andie and Chase share a quick kiss while sitting in the dark. Later they kiss passionately in a crowd.
The leader of the 410 and his comrades punch and pummel Chase, driving him to the sidewalk. One guy spits on him. The next day, Chase has a bruised and scraped face. We also see a dance studio that's been broken into and vandalized. (Mirrors are smashed and walls are spray painted.)
Crude language includes a half-dozen or so uses each of "a--" and "h---." "D--n" is blurted out, and God's name is misused several times. There are a handful of crude references made to male and female body parts. The leader of the 410 is named Tuck. And his name gets spelled out as a wink at the f-word: "Tuck You."
Adults drink wine, champagne and mixed drinks at a school fundraiser. A hip-hop song glamorizes Hennessy.
The hip-hop tunes in the soundtrack include repeated—though often hard to make out—references to "booty" and backsides.
How She Move. Stomp the Yard. You Got Served. These contemporary dance movies, and their similar storylines, blur seamlessly one into the next.It usually starts something like this: We meet the hero, someone who's still reeling from the unexpected death of a loved one (or some other inner-city misfortune). Then our hero must use the only tools at his or her disposal—a great body, emerging charisma and uncanny dancing skills—to recruit a crew and take on the competitive world of street dancing for money and/or respect.Step Up and now Step Up 2 the Streets try their hardest to follow that pattern, emphasizing new collections of beautiful, tightly toned physiques and the freshest, most jaw-droppingly acrobatic urban dance moves.The only real break from this well-established formula is the fact that Step Up 2 seems a bit more clean-cut than some of its cousins. The cast still wears telltale do-rags and side-cocked hats—visual shorthand for inner-city hipness. But they come off as a touch too neat and tidy to be real. I'm not complaining, mind you. But it is sort of like spraying graffiti on an alley wall ... with a stencil and a drop cloth.There aren't any drug sales, dark alley killings and steamily carnal hookups here. Criminal activity is limited to unlawful dancing in a subway car. And it all ends with a kiss in the rain and a soaring orchestral score. This is cut-and-paste sugar fluff that's designed to make teen girls coo, "He was so cute!" and the rest of us wonder, "How did they do that back-flip-spin-on-their-head thing?"That's not to say that this is High School Musical: The Streets, though. No, there's a lot more pelvis thrusting and booty shaking than any HSM title might allow. Sexy gyrations are performed in various climes (the rain-drenched conclusion leaves few curves to the imagination) and states of semi-undress. In fact, Andie's everyday street wear alone is enough to earn the movie's PG-13 rating as the camera swoops in to showcase her abs and cleavage.So, while this is Disneyfied for the genre, it's still crazier and sexier than most of what comes out of the Mouse House.

Nov 23, 2014Silver Linings Playbook es una película llamativa con grandes actuaciones por parte de todo el reparto, en donde combinan muy bien Bradley Cooper y Jennifer Lawrence. En general es una gran comedia romántica.
Nov 22, 2014
Sep 1, 2014Not only do Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence give two of the best performances of the year, the film is a romantic masterpiece. Between first-rate writing and an ensemble-to-kill, The Weinstein Company has a gem on their hands.
Jul 9, 2014This movie has to be my all time favorite romantic movie. First off its completely unique from all the romance movies that has been thrown at us over the years. Its funny its emotional its cute and its definitely one of a kind. I never get tired of watching this movie
Jun 4, 2014This movie captures life as it is. It shows the dark sides and it shows the things everyone has do deal with in ones life. But it also encourages to look beyond that, to see that there are happy times following the bad. Silver Linings Playbook is such a worthy title, it expresses the imperfections of life and the ways life has. Fantastic movie, absolutely worth checking out!
May 2, 2014An Academy Award deserving script, that manages to make us laugh, cry and even hate/love the characters in the movie, played by the best and most talented Hollywood stars today. Russell has created art and magic, by far the best movie of 2012.
Apr 7, 2014Writer / Director David O. Russell as always give us heartwarming movies like example american hustle . this movie is a whole lot of heart warming and love . that is a classic David o russell film . Grade A

Feb 8, 2014that's amazing love story..i feel it's not just a 2 hours movie it's like a book including 500 page..the relations and conversation was very real...i believe them..i believe the love between tiffany and pat
Dec 7, 2013It is a really interesting movie. It makes you to be attached to the screen from the first minute. I really appreciated Jennifer Lawrence's performance, her character's emotional changes were sensational during the film.
Nov 30, 2013Jen and Brad are outstanding and display remarkable chemistry. Among one of the best films in years. It is meaningful and hilarious and has a wonderful supporting cast. I just love it.
Oct 25, 2013this movie brings a fresh air to the romantic comedies because with a simple story and great performances especially lawrence can conquer the public..
Oct 5, 2013This film contains so many beautiful scenes and show us that there is realism because we can see ordinary people's problems. Also, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver played every character fantastically. I'm not a fan of David O. Russell but I have to admit he did a good job at directing.
Sep 9, 2013
Aug 11, 2013I loved this film. It has a unique sense of style. It's amazing. Jennifer Lawrence's character was great. And Bradley Cooper was great, the same goes with Jacki Weaver and Robert De-Niro.
Aug 10, 2013One of the best movies i have seen! It totally worth the 2 oscars. The movie was fantastic, the actors where great and the overal story was really good! Oh and one more thing, Jennifer Lawrence was gorgeous!
Jul 27, 2013

Jun 22, 2013Magnificent chemistry between Cooper and Jennifer define this heartwarming romantic drama. Solid writing and pacing make it an absolute joy to watch plus one of Robert Di NIro's finest performance acts as icing on the cake! Totally worthy of all the praise and accolades
Jun 20, 2013Outstanding film.Jennifer Lawrence was outstanding in this film.Jennifer Lawrence won well-deserved award.Robert DeNiro and Bradley Cooper were outstanding too.Jacki Weaver was good but she didn't deserve the nomination.David O. Russell wrote amazing screenplay.
Jun 19, 2013
Jun 18, 2013My second favorite film of 2012. A movie that deals with the issue of bipolar disorder in a way that shows the way it can change someone's life, but also shows a funny and romantic side.
Jun 18, 2013Silver Linings Playbook is cute, sweet and really good, with an amazing acting, and a fitting cast, the story is original somehow, and some scenes are really intense, the movie is more of a talky, but overall it is one of the best movies of 2012.
Jun 4, 2013"A truly terrific and humorous movie all across the board. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence shine in there best performances to date. Its a movie we all can feel good about and walk away with a great message. David O Russel is truly a genius" A-
Jun 1, 2013
May 31, 2013It is funny, intense and a different Romantic comedy than others, it is creative and smart, with amazing plot and great acting coming from Cooper and Lawrence, I enjoyed it as a stand out, and positively different than other Rom-Com
May 30, 2013I really enjoyed this movie. The main actors selected were perfect. I thought it was fun and light-hearted. It had some real-life issues that a lot of people deal with, like death and split-up marriages, so I think many people can relate. There is always a silver lining to any situation, and this movie explains this exactly.
May 30, 2013
May 27, 2013
May 22, 2013A great film that isn't afraid to have a main character who is a little off his rocker.
Bipolar disorder, OCD and other mental illnesses are far too common in life, and rarely seen in the cinema.
To take characters, give them real life problems, and throw them into a romantic genre film and let them scream, fight, dance, and love is to bring those characters to life. Bravo. -
May 21, 2013It is too rare that a movie manages to achieve more than double as much of all feelings by the first half than another one of its genre. "Silver Linings Playbook" is not only a fantastic movie with wel-shot scenes and amazing casting, but in also makes you feel with the characters for whom you actually start to feel some sort of sympathy. 10+ for sure.
May 21, 2013It's Oscar nominee for best picture of the year that fact alone matters great deal, outstanding acting(Bradley Cooper delivers his best), interesting and very realistic story makes you care about it's characters! This is must own

Apr 26, 2013Very nice movie. My girlfriend make me watch, but what a good surprise.
I think the history was well prepared with drama and some fun. The actors fit on it very well.
That movie worth. -
Apr 19, 2013I love this movie so much, both my best friend and I have seen it more than once at the cinema. It's primarily a drama, not a comedy as some people have advertised. Best drama I have seen.
Apr 14, 2013This film should have won Best Film at the Oscars in my opinion. I absolutely loved this movie and the acting of the wonderful cast. It was just amazing seeing the portrayal of these emotional characters on screen.
Apr 2, 2013This movie was a joy to watch; Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper were fantastic and i was especially pleased to see Deniro playing a more interesting character. Highly recommended!
Mar 2, 2013David O.Russel is a genius perfect writing beautiful story really likebale characters and an inforgatable performences by the actors especially jennifer lawrence and bradely cooper who proove to be one of hollywood strongest performers, really worth watching
Feb 28, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Feb 28, 2013This movie had me smiling all the way through. All the characters are full of life and energy. They're all a little crazy, even the sane ones, and I think that describes us all.
Feb 27, 2013
Feb 23, 2013This is a most enjoyable, convincing, thoughtful and true to life comedy/drama/romance about a dysfunctional family. There's an excellent screenplay, direction and four strong acting performances in this film. Jennifer Lawrence's performance is especially impressive.
Feb 22, 2013Incredible movie. Cooper and Lawrence could both be up for an Oscar for this puppy. The development of Cooper's character is given with care and validity. My only gripe is the betting of the football game and dance. That seemed a little cliche.
Feb 21, 2013
Feb 17, 2013'Silver Linings Playbook' is the best romantic comedy of the year, holding up with a plot that some crazy characters, I can only say that is insanely good. Bradley does its best to deliver a great performance, but make no mistake, the film is Jennifer Lawrence.
Feb 13, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Feb 11, 2013Really loved this movie as a whole. Lawrence and Cooper showed great chemistry together and were able to craft a story that epitomizes balancing crazy with even more crazy. Felt like a genuine story about life and how we all need a little bit of abnormality once in a while.
Feb 8, 2013
Feb 8, 2013Really enjoyed this movie. The chemistry between Cooper and Lawrence is great as well as the supporting cast. It comes as the highest compliment from me that you forget you're watching actors, but rather real people. Neither the comedy or drama aspects ever feel stale and you are in it for the whole ride.

Feb 3, 2013
Feb 2, 2013One of the best movies this year. Top notch performances from every cast member. Sad and funny at the same time. It gets a little bit unrealistic around the last part, but I like it anyways, because when the movie ended I felt good, and there is nothing more to ask...Now we should go and find our silver linings too.
Feb 2, 2013I loved this heartwarming movie that makes you feel good without it getting all syrupy. At the heart of the film is wonderful acting with both Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper delivering great performances. Also take note of the sound track featuring a duet between Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash.
Jan 30, 2013
Jan 28, 2013The greatest date movie I've seen in years, or ever. Funny, sad, serious, everything. Plus, if you have any experiences with the subject matter you will have a lot to relate to. A couple unrealistic issues are no big deal to anyone except the annoying self-righteous types.

Jan 26, 2013
Jan 24, 2013Silver Linings Playbook is a heartfelt, funny, and well-acted drama that shows off its brilliant cast and proves to be David O. Russell
Jan 23, 2013A sort of modern day When Harry Met Sally, if Harry and Sally were both diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. A funny adult comedy, not your average Kathrine Heigl (post-Knocked Up) rom-com. Nice to see a movie that is romantic, and yet is not a painstakingly dull story that induces the "ooohs and ahhs" from women viewers that love Nicholas Sparks.
Jan 21, 2013This movie is simply amazing. Great use of the camera, very different, but good! The acting was superb, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are great. The use of Led Zeppelin music made it near perfect.
Jan 21, 2013I loved this movie. I don't usually like Bradley Cooper, but I thought he did great in this movie. Jennifer Lawrence stole the show, though. Her performance really made this movie.
Jan 21, 2013
Jan 20, 2013The movie was not like I thought it would be, it was better. The romance in the movie is different but catching. The movie offers a different but splendid display of comedy, romance and life.
Jan 20, 2013For me, this film worked at every level. It's funny, sad, tragic, compelling, screwed up and absolutely entertaining. Not a dull moment here and it's not even an action movie! Cooper + Lawrence are beautiful together and believable.
Jan 20, 2013
Jan 20, 2013Silver Lining Playbook is inspiring for those willing to let their guard down to the uncomfortable realities told by this story, and a tastefully effective display of emotional honesty.
Jan 20, 2013
Jan 19, 2013
Jan 16, 2013The film and its protagonist share a fine similarity. They are at once both imperfect but immediately likable. A masterpiece that doesn't swagger across the screen on a cloud of self importance rather meanders with grace and wit.
Jan 16, 2013Such great dialogue that it deserves an Oscar - and makes you realize how starved you are for intelligent dialogue in movies. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence have surprisingly good chemistry and this helps you overcome the desire to (occasionally) slap them silly.
Jan 15, 2013Best movie of the winter season. well-balanced take on mental illness. it accelerates where other movies have stalled dealing with the same subject matter. its worth the time and money to see this pic and I dont say that lightly as i watch most movies online.
Jan 15, 2013Finally! a unique movie that combines elements of real life with the awesome and I mean Oscar winning performance of Bradley Cooper. Also the Led Zepp song was awesome. I give it a Perfect score, done movie of the year
Jan 13, 2013
Jan 13, 2013
Jan 13, 2013The Silver Linings Playbook has no flaws at all. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper somehow manage to be the most entertaining characters of the year. The cast gives potent and wonderful performances and it has an excellent screenplay. This is a great film and should be a big hit at the Oscar's. I give this film 94%.
Jan 13, 2013I rode the story like an exciting roller coaster ride. The acting by all was superb. Robert DiNiro gives his best performance in years. Clever and spontaneous are the two words I would use to describe this film.
Jan 13, 2013Great little "love" story but not a soppy like most. I say love story in its lightest term as it is more comedy orientated. Quirky and captivating with dark humour and a great cast! Don't miss out
Jan 12, 2013Jennifer Lawrence has arrived. If the Hunger Games did not catapult her to the top Silver Linings Playbook does. All of us in America come from a dysfunctional family. So what? DeNiro is a scream as a die hard Philadelphia Eagle fan. This movie is totally worthy of all the accolades it has received. Definitely worth the price of admission. Go see and enjoy.
Jan 11, 2013
Jan 7, 2013I'm always pleased when a film flies under the radar and ends up being the top movie of the year for me. This film is raw, genuine, and simply romantic.

Dec 25, 2012
Dec 22, 2012I really enjoyed this film. The comedy never gets in the way of the drama and vice versa. The performances are all solid. There are several actors you don't see in movies too often anymore and it is pleasant to see them again.

Dec 17, 2012
Dec 16, 2012People are hopelessly flawed, but that doesn't mean that happiness is out of reach. This movie is a celebration of the human spirit, and I love it so much. Might be my favorite of 2012.
Dec 13, 2012A unique film because of the way it tells a light human story in such a hard dramatic way. The most invigorating aspect of Silver Linings Playbook- and there are many- is its masterful script and the actors delivering the well-paced, careful lines. There isn
Dec 9, 2012With the help of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence's best performances to date, a fantastically charming screenplay, and David O. Russell's substantial directorial prowess, "Silver Linings Playbook" easily soars above the conventional romantic comedy with its honesty.
Dec 8, 2012The best film I've seen this year; loved the story, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence were perfect; the supporting cast was fantastic. Loved it!!
Nov 30, 2012The best movie I have seen all year! It had it all...drama, tears, humor, romance...Bradley Cooper was smoking hot and should be an Oscar nominee for this one.
Nov 29, 2012What a brilliant film Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert DiNiro, Chris Tucker so funny considering the subject matter after a long day it really cheered me up some brilliant acting and great direction a must see film.
Nov 26, 2012Enjoy every bit of the movie. It was funny, sweet and I love both actors. I would see it again. My daughter and I both found it to be a movie to remember.
Pretty much a miscalculation from beginning to end. [26 Nov. 2012, p.87]
Likable, watchable and has a nice supporting turn from Robert De Niro; I'm not sure I wouldn't rather watch this again than the macho acting in Russell's boxing drama "The Fighter."
A funny, believable film about the ability of even the damaged and imperfect to earn a little happiness.
