Each week the ServicesAngle editorial team has a conference call to discuss the week’s news and trends. Sometimes we just do voice calls, other times we do videoconferencing. Sometimes we bring other people into the conversations. Wikibon and SiliconAngle are all about collaboration and transparency, so, we’ve decided to start sharing these conversations.

This week Wikibon analyst Jeff Kelly, ServicesAngle editor Alex Williams and I discuss Jeff’s Big Data Market Size and Vendor Revenues report, Hortonworks’ strategy, the problems companies are facing with Hadoop and more.
