IBM Genomic Analytics Platform Offers Personalized Medicine - with the best links of the day

It's the perfect time for a look at most significant links of the day. We'll be talking about IBM, Facebook and Twitter.

First things first, let's see who's been writing about IBM? It was www.eweek.com who wrote an article called IBM Genomic Analytics Platform Offers Personalized Medicine.

What did they say about IBM? They said:
IBM is movingon from "Jeopardy" to finding treatments using genetic data
and went on to say
Thecompany announced it has developed a data-analytics platform called ClinicalGenomics that uses algorithms and analytics similar to that of Big Blue'sWatson supercomputer to find treatments for conditions based on a patient'sgenetic profile


Next we have a site that's been writing about Facebook - SEO Service BrightEdge Raises $12.6M.

They said:
He says BrightEdge is already used by more than 2,000 brands and agencies, including big tech names like Microsoft, Facebook, and VMWare
... OK ...
With what millions of dollars still in the bank, Yu says BrightEdge wasn't really looking to raise another round, but this seemed like "a great opportunity" to support the company's rapid growth - he wants to double its headcount (for the second year in a row) and open offices in London and New York. . (Another SEO management company, Conductor, recently said that it's working with more than 1,000 brands and has an annual revenue run rate of $10 million.)


Finally it's Brand Management: It's All About the Profile from www.marketingpilgrim.com, focussing on Twitter. The wrote good quality stuff, particularly
Then check your Twitter and any other public pages
and
Okay, I'm done now. So get thee to your Facebook page right now and check it out as if you were a first time customer. . These are your only shots at making that good first impression
