information velocity
The form "velocity of information" seems to be more common. I think both are SOP (though [[velocity]] probably needs some improvement before we delete this). —Ruakh TALK 01:40, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

RFM discussion: September 2012
I think all three definitions can be merged. If not, then at least the third can merge with the second. The definitions are: --WikiTiki89 (talk) 15:14, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) (physics) The speed at which information is transmitted through a particular medium
 * 2) (marketing) The speed of information flow about a product in a market
 * 3) (financial markets) The rate at which information that influences the price of securities in informationally efficient markets moves through the market.


 * Either merge, or delete (as sum of parts). SemperBlotto (talk) 15:21, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * We've typically handled contentious merging of senses at WT:RFD, leaving this page for merging of pages. Anyway, delete the entry AFAICT. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 16:13, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure if the first definition can be considered the same thing as the others. It seems doubtful that a physicist and someone in marketing would use it with the same meaning, considering the vast difference between the two fields and the way in which physicists have specific definitions for things. In particular, a physicist would not talk about information flow from person to person, but through a medium such as a vacuum or air. The other two definitions can be merged, though. 20:04, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
