Analyzing Big Data at Twitter (Web 2.0 Expo NYC Sep 2010)

Analyzing Big Data at Twitter (Web 2.0 Expo NYC Sep 2010)

This is a pretty good, yet simple presentation from a researcher at Twitter. I encourage database, and particularly data mining students to take a few minutes to go through the slides and get an appreciation of the amount of data that we're dealing with. For the most part, as Kevin indicates, we have some good tools that can answer some interesting questions about this enormous data repository. The problem often comes down to asking the right questions about our data.

Cool stuff. Thanks, Kevin.
