Every day, we are being trained to share more-and-more information about ourselves. And now, more than ever, information about your location, relationship status, and even your medical history and banking habits, are joining your emails, texts, clicks, searches, IMs, purchasing habits, and more in an ever-growing river of data that is freely flowing into the darkness.

Or is it flowing into the light?

Data mining is no longer the process of digging through data morgues to uncover scraps of still-viable information. There's gold in them thar hills and success in the online marketplace now hinges on understanding how and why people create and share their data.

The opportunity beckons build things from social data to make life better ... or not.

There's a revolution afoot — a Social Data Revolution.

Video filmed, arranged, and produced by Shaun Tai for SHAUN TAI Films. @shaun_tai | shaun@shauntaifilms.com | 925.297.9370.
