(image) Even as we announce the theme of Web 2 Summit this year – it’s all about Data – a raft of news and analysis about data floods my inbox. Coincidence?! I THINK NOT. To the links:

The Really Smart Phone (WSJ) “God’s eye view” of data from mobile devices. So…who exactly is God now?

Jobs: Claims about iOS tracking are ‘false’( Electronista) I love that Steve Jobs can get away with a one line email refuting a Senate investigation. Talk about God…

Announcing Web 2 Summit 2011: The Data Frame (Searchblog) This is going to be the best one I’ve ever programmed. Mark my words.

Article: How Engaged Is Traffic from Social Sites? (eMarketer) Not so much, at least, not yet.

Facebook Pushes Private Sharing With New “Send” Button (ATD) Here we go, folks: The nuance is creeping into the monoculture that was once Facebook. More, more, more!

After Greystripe Deal, ValueClick Interested In Still More Acquisitions Says VP Fuges (AdExchanger) ValuClick seems on a roll…

Dell: Android tablets will outpace iPad soon (IntoMobile) Dell will be at Web 2 this year.

Facebook Deals Launches Tonight & Groupon Doesn’t Stand a Chance (RWW) I’m not sure “they don’t stand a chance” but the features that are rumored (“free” deals, use of Facebook credits, etc.) would keep me up at night if I were running Groupon.

Beastie Boys Stream New Album After Internet Leak (Mashable) Look, it’s a brand, er, a band, that’s not afraid of the InterWebs! Somehow, I sense they are going to make a lot of hay regardless of all those evil pirates out there.
