Big Data: 20 Free Big Data Sources Everyone Should Know Bernard Marr.

From the post:

I always make the point that data is everywhere – and that a lot of it is free. Companies don’t necessarily have to build their own massive data repositories before starting with big data analytics. The moves by companies and governments to put large amounts of information into the public domain have made large volumes of data accessible to everyone.

Any company, from big blue chip corporations to the tiniest start-up can now leverage more data than ever before. Many of my clients ask me for the top data sources they could use in their big data endeavour and here’s my rundown of some of the best free big data sources available today.

I didn’t see anything startling but it is a good top 20 list for a starting point. Would make a great start on a one to two page big data cheat sheet. Will have to give some thought to that idea.
