is big data for good just a tiny csr playground deceiving itself? or what does big data for good, beyond the obvious like collaborative diagnostics, gene folding, etc. mean. could st. george have a big data lance to kill the bad dragons without being a pawn? what would merlin tel lancelot to do with big data, assuming a scenario where lancelot kept his other tool in his tights?

This is great. Love to see you delve in more in a future post about the "myth of anonymization" (we looked into this for mobile data). It's the prevailing pat-on-the-head to consumers right now (there, there, calm down) that needs some urgent debunking...

Thanks, Katrin. 

The article I linked to is by my friend Ben Gross, whom I'm looping in here. He probably knows who's doing what. 

Cheers,
Jerry

Nice, Jerry!
I particularly like how you point out the agnostic nature of data.

(Gathering data is not necessarily agnostic, but privacy issues bump up against the concept of trust in a collaborative society. That leads to the number one task: building trust, so we can feel collaborative; and building trust points back to having trustworthy and transparent systems. Which we are rather a long way from having at the moment.)

Kevin,
I will wildly speculate that what Merlin would've told Lancelot is that the crusades will lead to "the end of the world as he knows it, but he'll feel fine." He might also say something like "sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead," but it's also possible he would've said "Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, churning through sick lullabies, choking on the alibis, but it's just the price you pay, destiny is calling you, open up your eager eyes... you're Mr. Brightside."

Jerry,
 
Many thanks for the shout out. It took a few days to get I Shared What?!? operational again, thanks to FB's changing API, but it's working now. =)
