Data is becoming a major part of all of our lives, thanks to social networks, media sharing, mobile apps, on-demand content access, backup, archiving and recovery.  From a business perspective, there’s opportunities that lie in the development of consumer apps providing access to the personal cloud, protecting enterprise data, or carving a new niche in advertising and reporting, all based on the massive amounts of data becoming available with the click of a few buttons.

These are all topics being covered at the Strata Conference in CA this week, one of O’Reilly’s biggest and most profound events of the year.  Managing data, discovering new careers around its manipulation and orientation, and scaling it to various purposes are just some of the things to consider for this impressive revolution in knowledge accumulation.  Lucky for you, we’re streaming the event live, saving you a plane ticket (or two, rather).

Keynotes of the Strata Conference will be streamed live by The Cube at SiliconAngle.tv, beginning at 10am PT.  The conference will be talking about the explosion of big data and smart data, stressing how the future lies to those who understand how to collect and use their data successfully. Here’s SiliconAngle founder John Furrier talking about the Strata Conference and the Next Industrial Revolution.

We also have an article accumulating all our previous “big data coverage” curated by SiliconAngle editor in chief, Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins. Watch our live stream of the event below, or at http://www.justin.tv/nicefishfilms.
