Look no further. Twitter is a great resource for staying up-to-date and learning about your favorite subject matter, and since big data falls under the technology umbrella, you know all the big names in the space are active in promoting everything within the industry. #BigData is everywhere!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Here is a list of the top 10 Twitter accounts to follow on the topic of big data:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">1. Big Data Science (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/analyticbridge\" target=\"_blank\">@analyticbridge<\/a>): Expect frequent tweets from this account (they have over 17K) on big data, data science, predictive modeling, business analytics, Hadoop and a variety of other topics. And don&#8217;t worry, for as many tweets as they send out, they don&#8217;t just click the retweet button all day long. They typically tweet out links with title descriptions, so you can sift through\u00a0the information you want to explore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">2. Big Data Blogs (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BigDataBlogs\" target=\"_blank\">@BigDataBlogs<\/a>): Another account to follow for anything and everything in the world of big data. Technology news, new product updates, how big data is being applied in real-world situations and much, much more. No annoying retweets here either, just pure big data goodness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">3. Dr. John Bates (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/drjohnbates\" target=\"_blank\">@drjohnbates<\/a>): John Bates is currently on the executive board at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softwareag.com\/corporate\/default.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Software AG<\/a> and was formerly with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.progress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Progress Software<\/a>. He tweets a lot about the Internet of Things, big data analytics, cloud, mobile, and data integration. He authored the book &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thingalyticsbook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Thingalytics<\/a>&#8221; and owns a Tesla, so that&#8217;s neat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">4. Bob E. Hayes, Ph.D.\u00a0(<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bobehayes\" target=\"_blank\">@bobehayes<\/a>): Mr. Hayes tweets out lots of information, including how big data can be used for practical purposes outside of the business and enterprise sectors. He is the CRO of <a href=\"https:\/\/analyticsweek.com\/\">Analytics Week<\/a> and is big into customer experience as it relates to big data and analytics. He&#8217;s also a believer in applying the scientific method to improve our understanding of big data and its applications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">5. Kirk Borne (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KirkDBorne\" target=\"_blank\">@KirkDBorne<\/a>): Kirk definitely looks at big data through the scope of a scientist, as he is one. He&#8217;s both a data scientist and a Ph.D. astrophysicist who is interested in astroinformatics and citizen science. He&#8217;s also got a blog entitled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/rocketdatascience.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rocket-Powered Data Science<\/a>&#8220;, where he shares his big data insights from a scientist&#8217;s perspective.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">6. Bernard Marr (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BernardMarr\" target=\"_blank\">@BernardMarr<\/a>): Marr is an author, speaker, strategic performance consultant and self-proclaimed analytics, KPI and big data guru. He also wrote a book called &#8220;Big Data&#8221;, so that alone probably qualifies him for this list. You can read a free chapter of the text <a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/wiley_publishing\/docs\/big_data_sample_chapter_final_files_b88a18618d5ab4?e=0\/11233698\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s ever posted a tweet without using the hashtag #BigData, so you know the content he provides is pure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">7. BigDataClub (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BigDataClub\" target=\"_blank\">@BigDataClub<\/a>): Here&#8217;s an interesting follow.

They tweet out tons of interesting content, and a lot of it has a pop culture spin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">10.
