The slant in the list is companies doing interesting things with big data or applications from unexpected areas like weather and mapping it onto things like shopping habits. What I don't understand is how Splunk is on the list since operational data and business intelligence has been a historical fit for big data. Nothing new. IBM is evangelizing big data. A bit of a weak one, I thought but the Smarter Cities initiatives doing some good work. Some interesting companies on the list and in the comments section.
