For my part, I'm seeing a lot of adoption in media.  Including broadcast,
papers, online gaming, social, etc, etc.

Basically, lots of people who're after an edge in being more responsive to
the market than their competition, so not just investment banking :)

Banks are just more visible because they tend to pay more for support
contacts, and use recruiters who are far spammier on LinkedIn and the like.
