>>Think this way for a while, and you notice a key factor: old data usually isn’t very interesting. You’ll be much more interested in what your users are doing right now than what they were doing a year ago. Sure, spotting trends in historical data might be cool, but in all likelihood it isn’t actionable. Today’s data is. Uhhhh, really? There have been a lot of times in my past where, as an analyst, I wished I had an bunch of historical data to measure the seasonality of trends. Am I the only one who baulks at this comment? Is this a startup-oriented perspective?
