I shared links to the UC Berkeley Enron Email Analysis Project, which explores 1.5 million internal emails released after the company's collapse. It includes fascinating visual network analysis of corporate communication patterns.
I'm documenting the wave of massive accounting scandals from 2002, tracking the financial collapses and corporate fraud cases involving Enron, WorldCom, Xerox, and Tyco as they unfolded across the global business sector.
I highlighted a satirical parody of Enron's voicemail system, which mocks the company's corporate culture during its infamous collapse. It compares a humorous recording to the actual corporate hotline active at the time.
I examine Marc Eisenstadt’s 15-year email stats showing a 2.5-hour daily drain despite a disciplined approach. I also look at Donald Knuth’s famous decision to stop using email in 1990 to protect his research time.
I built a Perl script to filter hundreds of resumes using keywords and concordance analysis. This process convinced me that candidates must optimize their CVs for machine searching, treating resume writing like search engine optimization.
I explore how social network analysis is applied through an interview with InFlow's creators. For my own SNA projects, I have used a combination of Perl scripts and Excel rather than dedicated software.

Hi Anand, Did you mean Enron instead of Amazon here? Take Care

Gosh, yes – sorry, typo on my side. (Wonder why that happened… must’ve been sleep-typing :-)

Long time since you’ve posted any article on your site.. Anand, just a suggestion though.. I think you should start writing more about yourself and the latest in your life.. I am sure there are a lot of takers for that like me. Cheers!
