It's a flowchart. It looks like you haven't even tried to create a list of players. If it's less complex than SQL double-hop then it's not complex.
- vosper 12y agoI didn't create the chart. The point I was trying to make is that each of these companies is a player in the industry and has either tracking data of their own and/or they're connected (directly or indirectly) to various data brokers. The chart greatly simplifies reality - it it represented all the interconnections between individual companies it would be vastly more complex. It can't do that because most of these connections are known only to the companies involved.
- blumkvist 12y agoI don't understand the downvotes. Anyone of average intelligence will have a pretty good understanding of the process after reading a 2-page summary[1]. The infographic the "grandfather" posted is designed as an inside joke. Yeah, there are a lot of companies you've never head of in the market, but all of them perform 5 or so different services. The market is very young, thus very fragmented and everyone comes up with their own nomenclature for differentiating purposes. [1]econsultancy and Adobe have good whitepapers on the subject.
