Good stuff - its a good win-win for google and the customers - apparently google runs these algorithms during off-peak hours helping them maximize revenues for assets they are keeping up anyway.
And of course, once google runs queries on it, google has a copy of the data - another way for them to take in more of the world's data and cement their stronghold on the search engine market.
Nice article Stefan! I found an image that summarizes what big data is, shows the three V's(volume, velocity and variety), its value for many industries (profit and sales increase) and a case study for healthcare. http://consumer.media.seagate.com/files/2013/02/Big-Data.jpg
Great sum up pic, Camila! Based on that I was thinking about the variety of sectors that can have benefit of structuring jammed information. On my former position I used to sit close to the so called "tweet team" and I feel sorry that the only use that we had for the tool was to answer complains to reduce image damage. When you are an airline, you can cross information of so many consumer's different profiles that and uses that you ultimately could predict and influence the next flight the passenger would be willing to take. Maybe soon enough this will be also available, and even without the client asking for.
I just came across this article which lists a few free big data tools for small businesses. https://www.openforum.com/articles/big-data-coming-soon-to-a-small-business-near-you/ "Size Up" is actually run by the Small Business Administration and provides free access to data on about 14 million companies in almost every industry and geographic region in the US. It even allows you to track on a regular basis how your business is doing against the competition.
