Welcome to Datadoodle, where stories go to work
Datadoodle. That’s data for data, and doodle for stories at work. Some people say that stories are only what you tell your children. But we do that because stories are the one of the most basic elements of community. Storytelling starts early and goes to the end.
If you’re part of Datadoodle’s legacy audience, welcome. I’m thrilled that you’ve followed Datadoodle to the Substack platform.

Now Datadoodle comes to you
Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your email inbox. I try to publish every week. When I do, it’s usually at 3 a.m. San Francisco, California time.
The legacy Datadoodle and the new Datadoodle
Datadoodle has been through several phases. From the start, in 2007, I’ve covered emergent trends, people, and exciting vendors, always with an eccentric, human-centered point of view. In 2008, I was the only media/industry analyst to cover Tableau’s first conference. I covered the emergence of Lyza, the famous app by Scott Davis that lifted off a few years too soon. (He left the industry and is now happily designing and building yachts.) I also covered the emergence of “cowboy” analysts, who’d been set loose by Tableau, Qlik, and other new sprouts. Still later, I began covering storytelling, the real kind.
And don’t forget, fellow Doodlers…
When in doubt, comment and share.
