Talk:Alternative data

Classification
Referencing alternative data as "non-financial information" is incorrect. It might be data that is not derived from traditional financial institutions, but it is financial data nonetheless. For instance, utility payments, telecommunications bill payments and rent are all financial transactions.Vaheterdu (talk) 17:34, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

See Surveillance capitalism.
Please look at Surveillance capitalism, where I made a comment similar to this one. Is that the same thing, from a different ideological viewpoint? Both articles are orphans. Merge? This content seems useful but misplaced. Merging into Big data would make sense, but that article is already too crowded. This belongs somewhere in the finance space, but where?

 * Big data didn't have a finance section, so I added a brief one, linking to here, surveillance capitalism, and technical analysis. John Nagle (talk) 20:04, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
