If big data is about the explosion of data of all types — payment, location coordinates; attention, habits, machine data; my social data then only a fraction of that data (not yet information or knowledge) resides in traditional databases. Conceptually (the analysis of the data to create value) overwhelms traditional database and analytics tools, giving rise to a new generation of cloud computing technologies: the Hadoop data framework, NoSQL databases, and big data analytics. As addressed in the book, not all data is created equal (in value terms) and finding the right data, applying the right analytics to it, and letting it deal with real-world problems is hard work strategically. One session, in Davos (WEF) was called Decoding the Data Deluge, chaired by Jan Hesthaven, a professor of applied mathematics from Brown University, deals with the upside opportunity these huge data sets can enable. From the course description: It’s a funny thing about data: If you look up “data” in the

Bazaarvoice_Millennials_Infographic.pdf Download this file Bazaarvoice released this infographic about millennial customer aka the digital native.... the facebook generation, the screenager   By 2017, Millennials – those consumers now in their mid-teens to mid-30s – will have more spending power than any other generation. (5 years!) Millennials lean on UGC (user generated content) to purchase major electronics, cars, hotel stays, travel accommodations, apply for credit cards, and choose insurance providers. Gen-Y believes that other consumers care more about their opinions than companies do - and that's why they continue to share their opinions online. Millennialls trust strangers over friends and family.   http://www.bazaarvoice.com/static/download/Bazaarvoice_Millennials_Infographic.pdf

    Verified tags As we have seen before, conferred identity (for example, a driving licence) can be used instead of the primary identity. For example, conferred identity can be used to buy a range of services in the physical world (for instance you can show your driving license to buy services). In the digital world, tags / avatars etc are all a form of identity. However, they are not verified. To achieve the concept of ‘I am not a number..’ you need a verified tag. How can we verify the tag? You could use something like the Liberty alliance or similar mechanism. But that’s too ‘top down’, complex and expensive. But let us put this in perspective first; as indicated before,  A phone call is not a transaction!. The stakes are a lot less lower. In this case, rather than a full fledged approach (such as liberty alliance), which is expensive, a simpler more organic approach could suffice. This approach is based on the concept of ‘Identity = reputation’. Reputation is what others say abo
