- Your tweets are being stored at the Library of Congress
- Library of Congress has amassed 170 billion tweets
- WASHINGTON (AP) — The Library of Congress says it's amassed about 170 billion tweets since it began collecting an archive of all Twitter messages in 2010.
- Twitter is donating its archive to the library, going back to the first one posted in 2006.
- Library Director of Communications Gayle Osterberg wrote in a blog post Friday that the volume of tweets it receives has grown from 140 million daily in February 2011 to nearly half a billion tweets each day in late 2012.
- Librarians have been developing a system to preserve and organize the collection. Now the library is shifting its focus to handle the technical challenges of making such a massive archive available to researchers.
- The library may work with a private partner to provide access because its own search technology is slow.

Big Data is an upcoming big thing.

"In 2012, the Obama administration announced the Big Data Research and Development Initiative, which explored how big data could be used to address important problems facing the government.[27] The initiative was composed of 84 different big data programs spread across six departments.[28]
The United States Federal Government owns six of the ten most powerful supercomputers in the world.[29]"
That's what their government's doing, what has ours been doing with MSC?
Just to share this...
Did the Bounds of Cyber War Just Expand to Banks and Neutral States? -

“However, Lebanon's size belies its importance as a regional entrepôt and banking haven; its cosmopolitan libertarianism, along with old-world discretion, have long made the country a popular choice for foreign depositors of all profiles and persuasions. Think of it as something like the Switzerland of the modern Middle East. More than 60 banks manage nearly $120 billion in private deposits in a country of 4.3 million people, and account for roughly 35 percent of the country's economic activity.
These are not mere corner retail banks serving up loans, mortgages, and checking accounts to Lebanese citizens. They are among the most private banks in the world, bound by genteel conventions of secrecy long since abandoned elsewhere. Since 1956, domestic and foreign banks operating in Lebanon have been legally required to protect the names and assets of their clients from all inquiring authorities...
Gauss appears to be capable of tracing the flow of illicit funds through some of the region's largest financial clearing houses, offering its designers unprecedented access to data on how money flows and between whom, on organizational networks, and on funding sources -- a veritable intelligence bonanza for anyone who might have an interest in that sort of thing...
The Obama administration is also considering, following the failure of proposed cyber security legislation in Congress, an executive order on cyber security that would bolster U.S. defenses.
If the Gauss malware is indeed the product of the same U.S.-Israeli cooperation that built Flame and possibly Stuxnet, it would be yet another indicator of how rapidly the new world of cyber threats, offensives, and engagement, is developing, how untested it all is, and how few norms or regulations keep it in check...”
You be the judge.
Cheers.
