I participated in a lively TweetJam discussion sponsored by Gartner last Friday. In addition to learning that the iPhone twitter app is not the easiest way to read and tweet quickly, there were a number of interesting observations shared by the participants, along with a good bit of humor.

We discussed the definition and hype of Big Data, considered the role of the Data Scientist, and tweeted about the role of data quality in the context of Big Data.

Here is an idea of the tweets that were shared by 6 Gartner analysts and a number of other big data experts (click on the image for better resolution):
