We get more data about people than any other data company gets about people, about anything - and it's not even close. We're looking at what you know, what you don't know, how you learn best. The big difference between us and other big data companies is that we're not ever marketing your data to a third party for any reason.

The people who are thinking most about big data right now are corporations and governments.

There's definitely a huge opportunity for businesses to transform their operations and decision making by using data.

Companies are getting bitten by hiring a data scientist who isn't really a data scientist.

Data is the fabric of the modern world: just like we walk down pavements, so we trace routes through data, and build knowledge and products out of it.

Everyone knows, or should know, that everything we type on our computers or say into our cell phones is being disseminated throughout the datasphere. And most of it is recorded and parsed by big data servers. Why do you think Gmail and Facebook are free? You think they're corporate gifts? We pay with our data.

The fact is that data are worth a lot of money.

There will be hundreds of new companies that will be created to develop these very simple data devices.

People are stunned to hear that one company has data files on 185 million Americans.

I have been quoted saying that, in the future, all companies will be Internet companies. I still believe that. More than ever, really.
