“The data fabric is the next middleware”–Todd Papaioannou

“…once the database is big enough, it will also let parents compare their baby with fellow users’ babies of the same age and gender. [LinkedIn data scientist Monica] Rogati imagines that this crowdsourcing will provide an early-warning system to help parents determine what is and isn’t out of the ordinary… It will be a way, she says matter-of-factly, ‘to debug your baby for problems’”–Mya Frazier
“One of the issues of social networking silos is that they have the data and I don’t … There are no programmes that I can run on my computer which allow me to use all the data in each of the social networking systems that I use plus all the data in my calendar plus in my running map site, plus the data in my little fitness gadget and so on to really provide an excellent support to me”–Tim Berners-Lee
“With too little data, you won’t be able to make any conclusions that you trust. With loads of data you will find relationships that aren’t real… Big data isn’t about bits, it’s about talent”--Douglas Merrill
“Listening to the data is important… but so is experience and intuition. After all, what is intuition at its best but large amounts of data of all kinds filtered through a human brain rather than a math model?”–Steve Lohr
