Sat Dec 11, 2010 RWW SPONSORS Weekly Wrap-up: WikiLeaks and Anonymous, PayPal, Facebook, Twitter, Mirror Sites and More... We started this week with a quote from EFF's co-founder: "The first serious infowar is now engaged. The field of battle is WikiLeaks. You are the troops." It's a battle that has enthralled hundreds of thousands of our readers and made our coverage of WikiLeaks the top stories of the week here at ReadWriteWeb. As part of our annual year-end series on top products and developments we looked at how online reading habits have changed over 2010 as well as the year's top RSS and syndication technologies. And in our coverage of the real-time Web, Audrey Watters reported on a new visualization tool that gives users a real-time view of what scientists are reading. More top stories after the jump.

Eight years ago, for example, there were only around 5 exabytes of data online. Just two years ago, that amount of data passed over the Internet over the course of a single month. And recent estimates put monthly Internet data flow at around 21 exabytes of data. Our latest report, The Age of Exabytes, explores how technologies are evolving to address the needs of managing big data, from innovations in storage at the chip and data center level, to the development of frameworks used for distributed computing, to the increasing demand for analytical tools that can glean insights from big data in near real-time.

		SAI THE WIRE CLUSTERSTOCK MONEY GAME GREEN SHEET WAR ROOM LAW REVIEW LATEST VIDEO Friday, December 10, 2010 66% Of Groupons Are "Profitable" For A Business Groupon is a runaway success, generating revenue at $2 billion annual run rate.

Of the people he spoke with, 66% found Groupon to be "profitable." In his study, profitable means the Groupon generated enough additional sales to justify the initial discount.
