In a recent article in Forbes, Ron Hirson (@hirson) looks at Uber as a big data play.
"Since the service Uber has built is so convenient, and increasingly essential to my life, Uber knows where I live, where I work, where I eat, where I travel, where I stay/visit and when I do all these things."
Kind of cool, and it is kind of scary at the same time. That's a lot of personal data.
