The Age of Data

Google Is All About Large Amounts of Data

This truly is the age of data. I have a friend who works in the GIS domain. Here's what he said when he compared his company's product to Google Maps: "Google Maps beats the pants off our system when it comes to mapping Bangalore, but we have more data of the local bussinesses than Google does."

That's a proof that data can give an edge to any product. Hit the link above and see what Google's VP Marissa Mayer has to say about it.

Happy New Year.
