Thank you everyone for joining us at Data 2.0! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! 

LIVE UPDATES (in Pacific Daylight Time):

3:20pm
Panel: Democratizing Data: A Business, Technology and Society Problem
Geoff Domoracki (Data 2.0), Diego Oppenheimer (Microsoft), Alan Keahey (IBM), Brendan Wallace (Identified), Gil Elbaz (Factual), Bruno Aziza (SiSense)

Quotable quotes:

“Can we imagine a world where apps take care of all the work and all the consumer has to deal with is a search box?” – Domoracki

“In our education system, there’s a lot more emphasis on calculus than statistics but statistics is much more prevalent and useful in today’s economy.” – Oppenheimer

“Doesn’t more powerful data mean more policing? Whose responsibility is it to police data: the end user or the provider?” – Domoracki

“It’s not simply data analytics, but instead, you are always having a conversation with data. You have a community that is discovering and manipulating datasets who you have to talk to.” – Keahey 

“Accessibility is just the beginning of accessibility.” – Oppenheimer 

“With more data comes less integrity.” – Wallace

“Or because more data is available, do we have to be more truthful in what we say or post?” – Aziza

Lightning Talk: Big Data and Focusing on People – Steve Sims (Badgeville)
Big data analytics is often too macro. People generally do things for four reasons:
1) To feel smart
2) To be successful
3) To feel socially valued
4) To have structure 
Figure out what data corresponds with which intrinsic human desire and change your platform accordingly.

2:30pm
Lightning Talk: In Machine Learning, Simpler is Not Always Better – Beau Cronin (Salesforce)
Machine learning = refinery. It’s not a finding a needle in a haystack challenge; it’s turning low-quality data into something that’s higher value. Machine learning attempts to take bits and pieces of the world and make it into something more real.  

Fantasy World vs. Real World vs. Realer World:

2:20pm
Lightning Talk: Who are Causes’ users? An exploratory analysis – Sara Vera (Causes)
Using K-Means clustering, Causes figures out who is active in what causes, to give them faces and personalities. They use this data to engage users with tailored approaches. Customization!

1:30pm
Panel: Web Standards: Myths and Realities
Geoff Domoracki (Data 2.0), Tantek Celik (Mozilla), Greg Lindahl (Blekko), Joshua Koran (Turn), Jordan Medelson (CommonCrawl)

Where have web standards outpaced the market’s willingness to adopt universal methods, and where is there true demand for the coordination of new web standards?

There are good and bad examples of every standard that exists. There is no one vision of how the web works, but rather, its about what your company seeks to gain from web services. Look at competitor sites, see what they all have in common, and start building from there. 

 

1:00pm
The Future of Data-Driven Business – Ken Wincko (Dun & Bradstreet) 
Companies are always looking for new ways to get ahead. Business Analytics is the most heavily funded department for several years running now. It is crucial that businesses develop a complete and informed view of prospects, customers, competitors, suppliers and partners – the whole ecosystem – through relevant data an analytics. You have to be flexible and insightful.

How Social Data Will Shape the Enterprise – Cameron Evans (Socialcast by VMware) 
Socialcast is brand new (two weeks old) and aims to make communication, sharing documents, and collaboration easier. Utilizing social data will help us make social capital decisions. Use data to not only make the right decisions, but to avoid making the wrong ones. 

11:15am
Lightning Talk:The Future of Data – Bruno Aziza (SiSense)
1 TB in 1980 cost $14 million. We’re still doing a poor job of using hardware today. Also, we only adopt 24% of the solutions that we build, and there aren’t enough data scientists to produce the solutions that meet the hire expectations of businesses today. The goal is to make big data easier to store and analyze in order drive up the creation and adoption rates of data solutions.

Data is everywhere

Lightning Talk: Milking Data-as-a-Service for All It’s Worth – Gil Elbaz (Factual)
Dairy industry is worth $350+ billion and growing. So what can we learn from this huge industry? There’s incredible metadata on milk. You always know how fresh the data is, but that’s not the case with a lot of data. Using APIs to connect to dozens of data services (e.g. social media, analytics services) helps create metadata for your information.

Ucilia Wang (GigaOm), Adam Rein (MissionPoint), Daniel Goldfarb (Greenstart), James Strittholt (Conservation Biology Institute)

Highlights:

What makes a good data-based decision? It’s a mix of reliable data, insightful analytics and finally, good graphics and visualizations to present to the decision makers.  

There’s a booming market for novel analytics technology that applies to companies doing older, more traditional things. For example, data analytics has done a lot for wheat farmers as to when and where to plant seeds, and how much to water different fields.

9:38am: “The need for quality data is more prevalent than ever, and we are moving from relying on the government to democratizing the creation and collection of such data. We provide a platform for those who are out there doing things.” – J. Strittholt
