How’s your surfing?

I read this today on one of my favorite blogs – Zenhabits, and it definitely spoke to me: We are not walking a path, but surfing a sea.

Big Data - Must Bring Creativity

As everyone reads more about big data, I get more and more questions on use cases. “How should we use big data?” is the most common question. “Are there applications available for my vertical?” and “what do others in my vertical do with big data?” are a close second on the list.
