David Letterman signed off on CBS’s “Late Show” Wednesday night in part with one final, all-star Top 10 list: “Top 10 Things I’ve Always Wanted to Say to Dave,” delivered by repeat guests on the show including Tina Fey, Chris Rock and Barbara Walters.
The clips becomes one of thousands of hours of “Late Show” content that Mr. Letterman’s Worldwide Pants Inc. controls and for which he can potentially strike rights deals with distributors.
Back in 2008, when I was 31 years young and a freshly minted Ph.D., I took my first job in digital media. I was hired as a consultant for “advanced analytics” on a new mobile ad server. So I dusted off my statistics books, cracked my knuckles and logged into the machines where six months of server files were housed. And that’s when the torture began.
The data files were scattered across directories. The names were inconsistent. The formats varied wildly. Hours passed as I typed out Unix commands on the terminal, tediously stitching together billions of events into a time series of the last few months. As the graph rendered, an amazing trend unfolded: a sudden dip, then a 300% spike in ad traffic! Yet a few more keystrokes revealed the unglamorous reason: The platform had crashed, rebooted and began logging every event in triplicate.
So much for the “advanced analytics” I’d been hired to deliver. Though I’d uncovered a few troubling bugs in the new ad server, those insights weren’t gleaned through complex mathematics. It was simple counts, averages and a plain chart that got me there.
Mr. Letterman signed off on Wednesday with an all-star edition of the “Late Show,” bringing his 33-year career in late-night television to a close.

Summary: As marketers, we must gather quality information from consumers in order to make business decisions. We need to mine opinions from all types of people in order to paint the right picture.
But which method is best to gather information? And how do we determine that the information is in fact, quality?

The nation’s two largest candy companies are taking a detour into the snack-bar aisle with aggressive new product launches aimed at boosting their health image.
Mars Chocolate North America is taking its Goodnessknows snack-bar line national after years of testing it in a handful of markets. Hershey Co., meanwhile, has begun selling a snack bar under its premium Brookside brand. The new products from the two fierce candy competitors combine fruit, nuts and chocolate into a bar form and appear squarely aimed at successful bar start-up brand Kind.
Mars and Hershey touted their new bars at this week’s Sweets and Snacks Expo in Chicago, an annual trade show that this year drew some 16,000 people, including candy wholesalers and brokers looking for the next big thing in candy and snacks.
