[kictanet] How Cloud Technology helped Obama win

[Gabe Shompole]

Interesting how Big Data Analytics plus Scale up, Scale out Cloud Computing can be used to harness tons of information and make it useful.
In this case, "the billion dollar election"
Could we see the same happen in Kenya with the Open Data Project or future elections?
