Here at HubSpot, we feel it’s important to discuss Google’s various tools as they fit in nicely within the type of marketing we and our customers practice: inbound marketing. As you have noticed, traditional marketing activities have hit the back burner, establishing a stale and ineffective method of reaching consumers.

  • Change Detection and Notification of Web Pages: a Survey
    Change Detection and Notification of Web Pages: A Survey VIJINI MALLAWAARACHCHI, The Australian National University, Australia LAKMAL MEEGAHAPOLA, Idiap Research Institute & École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland ROSHAN MADHUSHANKA, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka ERANGA HESHAN, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka DULANI MEEDENIYA, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka SAMPATH JAYARATHNA, Old Dominion University, USA The majority of currently available webpages are dynamic in nature and are changing frequently. New content gets added to webpages, and existing content gets updated or deleted. Hence, people find it useful to be alert for changes in webpages that contain information that is of value to them. In the current context, keeping track of these webpages and getting alerts about different changes have become significantly challenging. Change Detection and Notification (CDN) systems were introduced to automate this monitoring process, and to notify users when changes occur in webpages. This survey classifies and analyzes different aspects of CDN systems and different techniques used for each aspect. Furthermore, the survey highlights the current challenges and areas of improvement present within the field of research. CCS Concepts: • General and reference → Surveys and overviews; • Information systems → Web searching and information discovery; Web applications; Document structure; Similarity measures; Informa- tion extraction; Relevance assessment.

  • OSINT Handbook September 2020
    OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 Aleksandra Bielska Noa Rebecca Kurz, Yves Baumgartner, Vytenis Benetis 2 Foreword I am delighted to share with you the 2020 edition of the OSINT Tools and Resources Handbook. Once again, the Handbook has been revised and updated to reflect the evolution of this discipline, and the many strategic, operational and technical challenges OSINT practitioners have to grapple with. Given the speed of change on the web, some might question the wisdom of pulling together such a resource. What’s wrong with the Top 10 tools, or the Top 100? There are only so many resources one can bookmark after all. Such arguments are not without merit. My fear, however, is that they are also shortsighted. I offer four reasons why. To begin, a shortlist betrays the widening spectrum of OSINT practice. Whereas OSINT was once the preserve of analysts working in national security, it now embraces a growing class of professionals in fields as diverse as journalism, cybersecurity, investment research, crisis management and human rights. A limited toolkit can never satisfy all of these constituencies. Second, a good OSINT practitioner is someone who is comfortable working with different tools, sources and collection strategies. The temptation toward narrow specialisation in OSINT is one that has to be resisted. Why? Because no research task is ever as tidy as the customer’s requirements are likely to suggest. Third, is the inevitable realisation that good tool awareness is equivalent to good source awareness. Indeed, the right tool can determine whether you harvest the right information.
