Right now Big Data is more like other fuzzy marketing
words i.e. Cloud, Grid, etc.
And, Big is a relative term. There are several
aspects of "Big Data" that I have noticed:
(Often summarized by the three V's of Big Data
Volume, Variety and Velocity)
- often an un-structured collection of data not
easily processed using relational tools
- often unused organization data collected over time
or a recent upswing in transaction-type data from the web
or other sources, sensors, simulations, experiemnets
- strains existing infrastructure (which varies by organization)
- rapid analysis (real-time ) of data is desired
- Big in size, but not that big i.e.
Two analytics clusters at Yahoo and Microsoft,
median job input sizes are under 14GB and 90%
of jobs on a Facebook cluster have input sizes
under 100 GB. (“Nobody ever got fired for using
Hadoop on a cluster,” HotCDP2012)
"Big Data's sweet spot starts at 110GB and the discovery
that the most common amount of data the average company has under
management is between 10 to 30TB"
(http://www.sisense.com/blog/bruno/2013/01/13/big-data-surprises)
And, yes I have been swimming in the "Big Data" pool recently.
Have you been drinking Kool-Aid made with water from that pool? ;)

So I stumbled upon this on reddit yesterday. It would be funny if it
wasn't so true:

For those of you who don't want to click the link, the slide says the
following:
Big Data: What is it?
Big Data is like teenage sex:
- Everyone talks about it
- Nobody really knows how to do it
- Everyone thinks everyone else is doing it
- So, everyone claims they are doing it
