As a writer, I find this set of predictions both interesting and, well, less than overwhelming. I'd like to see more creativity, especially with regard to the "least likely" possibilities, and less focus on tech companies. I'm more interested in thinking about what life might be like, than in which social media giant is on top. What predictions do you have, and what do you think are the odds for or against?

twheel twitter app - The Twheel Twitter app is a way to synthesize information on a data-heavy social media platform.
The developers at Twheel found that synthesizing the mass amounts of content on Twitter was difficult when armed with just a scroll option. Aiming to create a more intuitive and visual way to experience the Twitterverse, Twheel was born. It’s an app that shows 30 Tweets in a radial configuration. Much like you would on an iPod’s click wheel, the user runs their thumb around the wheel to read updates. Once a Tweet has been read, the bar turns from orange to clear, which helps to keep track of what you have read. An added bonus is the app’s ‘hot’ feature, which tracks the success of a Tweet that has received ‘retweet’ and ‘favourite’ attention....

Big Data Virtualization Processing unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data can be accomplished with open-source tools such as Hadoop, MongoDB, Node.JS, with multiple programming languages including Java and Python. Many of these Big Data Tools can be installed and configured within a few minutes. We can also leverage Cloud Computing for processing Big Data. Cost-effective processing of Graph Data for Social Network Analytics can be accomplished with GraphChi. My friend and colleague, Brad Cox, created an easy to use plugin to accelerate graph data processing. There are a plethora of tools and resources out there. Help others and share your favorites here. Big Data Visualization Getting the right information to the right person at the right time in the right way is a big deal. Data Visualizations should not be cryptic like a puzzle, but easy to understand. This is not a simple task and is the reason why we need more Big Data Artists in the world. My friend Angela Dunn has inspiring Data Visualization stories at Data is Beautiful. Data Visualization Tools Great artists experiment with a variety of material and tools to create their masterpieces. The modern day Big Data Artist can experiment with these tools to create their next masterpiece.

The platform has evolved somewhat since then, launching Visual.ly Create for users to create their own infographics with ease, before going on to roll out a complete redesign with social features last July. And then in October, Visually unveiled a new marketplace to help put its community of infographic designers to work

Last year, Vizzuality, Hyperakt, and members of the Google Chrome team worked on a visualization of web technologies and browsers. Since it was warmly received by the community, we decided to make a new version, using some of the latest web technologies to provide a fresh and distinctive experience.
In addition to updating the visualization with new browser versions and web technologies, we built a secondary visualization to show the growth of internet users and internet traffic worldwide.

Gray Area Foundation for the Arts brings together the best creative coders, data artists, designers, and makers to create experiments that build social consciousness through digital culture.
A finding about Max/MSP/Jitter, applied to the creation of art and programming:
Programming can seem rather daunting when you’re a novice. Now, imagine programming for a person that considers their learning style much more conducive to visualizing a process versus seeing in code and plain text. Max/MSP/Jitter helps patch this gap for individuals seeking a dynamic toolset that allows mapping of code, and programming that enables processes to be charted and visualized. Max is predominantly used by musicians and visual artists interested in incorporating sound into immersive and interactive environments, and serves as a fantastic medium for anyone interested in creating music sets that are both dynamic and engaging.
