So how *do* you get a handle on the big data deluge? Some suggestions from Agile Analytics -
Between the millions of blogs, hundreds of sources of open social information streams along with the massive number of popular platforms for online conversations, companies will face a growing challenge in trying to keep up with a continuous flow of unstructured data coming out of a wide-open big data faucet.
One of the biggest challenges is how information professionals approach getting a grip on this big data faucet with the goal of wrangling in only the most pertinent nuggets of insight critical to their business. Another challenge is that there are a wide range of api’s supported by these sources and when new sources come online, they to will have their own proprietary api’s.
