Big Data, Big Trend
Big Data is an important megatrend:
Companies such as Google, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are using their vast information to discover things that are definitely not obvious, and may even challenge our common sense. Some initiatives like Recorded Future or StreamBase try to predict the future while events like a plane crash were first pointed out on Twitter. One of the funniest blogs about big data is on OKCupid which mines information about relationship matching and can discover connections between orgasms and exercise.
