Big Data Republic's list of the Top 20 Big Data names to follow on Twitter

A few days ago, the site Big Data Republic announced the top 20 big data names to follow on Twitter. I'm very honored to have been selected in the list at #10, with so great people. Thank you so much for everyone who voted in me.

According the UBM site: "Using the #bigdata100 list (generated via community nominations and PeerIndex) as a starting point, judges chose their top seven big data tweeters, with votes counted up to create the final list. The final list, with judge's comments, can be found at http://www.bigdatarepublic.com/author.asp?section_id=3207&doc_id=263560."

 Site Editor Saul Sherry explains: "We have a very passionate community at Big Data Republic, and tools like PeerIndex end up being quite divisive. So we decided to use the PeerIndex system to give us a top 100, before handing this list over to some informed experts to make the final, must-follow list. These are the Twitter accounts you need to be following if you are passionate about how data transforms businesses and the wider world."
