1) Metrics are numbers that measure key performance indicators like traffic, activation, retention, referrals, and revenue.
2) Common traffic metrics include number of visits, page views, bounce rate, and time on site. Activation metrics measure how engaging a site is, like time per page. Retention metrics track return visitors and engagement over time.
3) Referral metrics indicate if users share or talk about a site on social media. Viral rate and amplification rate show how much growth referral is generating.
4) Business metrics tie metrics to profitability, like lifetime value (LTV), customer acquisition cost (CAC), average revenue per user (ARPU), and churn. LTV should be higher

ELS2014 - Add a Data Scientist to your Startup or Call it QuitsJusto Hidalgo
The document discusses adding a data scientist to a startup. It recommends having someone manage metrics to only measure what is important. Vanity metrics may hide problems. A data scientist can help achieve goals through acquisition, activation, retention, referral, and revenue using tools like SEO, SEM, campaigns, emails, landing pages, and product features. A data scientist role may fit within the build-measure-learn cycle and on the tech or product team. The document provides resources on data science basics and roles at startups.

Sowing the seeds of love - a call for a publishing startup accelerator programJusto Hidalgo
Presented at BEA Ignite, with O'Reilly and IDPF, I call for the creation of a publishing startup acceleration program to help bridge the gap between the established industry and the new entrants. It's a win-win situation, and it needs to happen.
Books as a Service - Presentation for AHLIST 2012Justo Hidalgo
This document discusses the opportunities and challenges presented by new digital reading paradigms such as eBooks. It notes that eBooks allow for features like cross-device synchronization and recommendations based on prior readings. However, it also acknowledges the challenges in getting publishers and readers to embrace these new formats. It envisions a future where the boundaries between books and readers are broken down through interactive features, social sharing capabilities, and new business models like freemium.
In his first year as an entrepreneur in the publishing industry, the author learned that offering a free basic service that allows users to test the product and engage with it can significantly increase conversion rates when those users are later asked to pay for premium features. He also found that allowing delayed subscriptions so non-paying users have time to experience the value helps make the ask to pay more palatable. And integrating social and cloud elements into the product in addition to the core freemium model was important for growth and engagement.
The Future of the Book according to me :)Justo Hidalgo
The document discusses the future of books and ebooks. It provides a brief history of books from ancient libraries to modern times, noting various instances of book burnings. It acknowledges that while ebooks are criticized, books remain a reliable representation of knowledge and experiences. The document suggests that future ebooks could enable more conversation and discovery between readers and authors by breaking down walls between book and reader. It poses questions about how books and applications may converge and views challenges as opportunities for books to continue evolving, such as becoming a reader's GPS for information.

Why Data Virtualization? An Introduction by DenodoJusto Hidalgo
Data Virtualization means Real-time Data Access and Integration. But why do I need it? This presentation tries to answer it in a simple yet clear way.
By Alberto Pan, CTO of Denodo, and Justo Hidalgo, VP Product Management.
Digital Footprint and Social Media AnalysisJusto Hidalgo
This document discusses the importance of understanding a company's digital footprint and presence on social media. It notes that customers increasingly engage with companies online rather than at their physical locations. It also emphasizes that a company's reputation is influenced by what others say about them online. The document advocates building systems that can listen to, analyze, and engage in online conversations to understand customers and how they perceive a company and its competitors. It also stresses the importance of adapting technologies to understand markets, which are now largely represented as online conversations.
For many years and decades, the idea of the lonely genius coming up with a great idea due to a sudden insight has been a compelling tale. Senior scientists, project managers, entrepreneurs and political leaders tell the world a story of brilliant ideas, going against current establishment, and finally making the world kneel before them. But reality shows that this is by no means true. This work will present some of the most typical creativity myths, and how teamwork and pluridisciplinarity become critical in a complex world like the one we live today.
Build applications with generative AI on Google CloudMárton Kodok
We will explore Vertex AI - Model Garden powered experiences, we are going to learn more about the integration of these generative AI APIs. We are going to see in action what the Gemini family of generative models are for developers to build and deploy AI-driven applications. Vertex AI includes a suite of foundation models, these are referred to as the PaLM and Gemini family of generative ai models, and they come in different versions. We are going to cover how to use via API to: - execute prompts in text and chat - cover multimodal use cases with image prompts. - finetune and distill to improve knowledge domains - run function calls with foundation models to optimize them for specific tasks. At the end of the session, developers will understand how to innovate with generative AI and develop apps using the generative ai industry trends.

Did you know that drowning is a leading cause of unintentional death among young children? According to recent data, children aged 1-4 years are at the highest risk. Let's raise awareness and take steps to prevent these tragic incidents. Supervision, barriers around pools, and learning CPR can make a difference. Stay safe this summer!
