BigData100: Vote for the Most Influential in Big Data

Last updated Mar 27, 2013.

Big Data Republic is conducting a survey of who is the most influential on twitter in the area of Big Data - see bit.ly/10QUXoo.

You can vote for @kdnuggets by tweeting

I nominate @kdnuggets for the #bigdata100 most influential #bigdata Twitter accounts bit.ly/10QUXoo

(or replace @kdnuggets with another influential twitter account of your choice)

The campaign will close at midday GMT on April 15 - with the final #bigdata100 announced in the Big Data Briefing newsletter on April 16.

The rankings seems to be based (so far) purely on PeerIndex, but the editor of Big Data Republic promises to start taking the actual votes into account.
