Next Big Book

Music Data Analyst Turns Sights to Books by Leslie Kaufmanhttp://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/26/business/media/music-data-analyst-turns-sights-to-books.html

The New York Times‘s story on the Next Big Book technology reveals the revolutionary power of this new book marketing analytics tool for publishers (http://www.nextbigbook.com):

Fritz Foy, Macmillan’s executive vice president for digital publishing and strategic technology, said that in limited testing the Next Big Book tool had already provided insights.

“The one I couldn’t believe was the absolute overlapping correlation between traffic to an author’s Wikipedia site to book sales,” Mr. Foy said. “It is such a tight correlation that at first I thought it had to be wrong.”

The company has also found correlation between spiking interest on Goodreads, the social media site owned by Amazon, and sales at Barnes & Noble stores.
