MAD Skills_ A Magnetic, Agile and Deep Approach to Scalable Analytics Presentation 1 [QT]
A discussion of Big Data approaches to analysis problems in marketing, forecasting, academia and enterprise computing.

Realtime Analytics at Twitter
Kevin Weil (Twitter, Inc.)
Presentation: Realtime Analytics at Twitter Presentation [PDF]
Most analytics systems rely on large offline computations, which means results come in hours or days behind. Twitter is all about realtime, but with over 160 million users producing over 90 million tweets per day, we need realtime analytics that scaled horizontally. This talk discusses the development of that infrastructure, as well as the products we are beginning to build on top of it.

Dylan Field (Brown University), Lucian Lita (BlueKai), Jud Valeski (Gnip), Tim O'Reilly (O'Reilly Media, Inc.)

Most of our laws were written for atoms, not bits; they're woefully out of date in an information age. When you share data, does it become more or less valuable? If someone adds to your data, is it still yours? This panel will tackle the gray area of data ownership.
