2014 Has been a massive year for Big Data, as it transitioned from an emerging and exciting technology to a somewhat overused buzzword for any application of data science. This was reflected earlier in the year by Gartner’s always insightful ‘hype cycle‘, where we saw the term drop off the ‘Peak of Inflated Expectations’, and begin its descent into the ‘Trough of Disillusionment’.

While companies all over the world have scrambled to add some data science magic to their mix, an increasingly significant knowledge gap developed between the old school business minds and the new data driven youngsters. Lessons that Eric Ries started teaching the startup world in 2011 about validating ideas and quick iteration with evidence based decisions became appropriate across the board. A downpour of new tracking, analytics and visualisation tools has given businesses the opportunity to bring the build-measure-learn cycle into the very heart of their operations, regardless of size or scale.

Let’s take this opportunity to see which were the most exciting Big Data news stories and articles from 2014, based on the amount of engagement across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+:
