Data science is the defining specialty of the business of big data and an emerging career path for those who love to find new insights in the gazillion bytes of data created each day. It\u2019s where you find fierce competition for talent<\/a>, the jobs of the future<\/a>, new training programs<\/a> and courses<\/a>, new ventures<\/a>, and new products<\/a>. But where to find the data science-relevant online conversations with the most impact?<\/p>\n With the Web as a worldwide publishing platform accessible to two billion potential creators and consumers of content, excitement generates lots of information overload. Traackr is one of a handful of companies that are trying to give us useful filters and guide us to the experts and influencers on specific topics. Traackr scours the Web to find the influential writers online using its three macro metrics: Reach, the size of an influencer’s audience; Resonance, the activity generated by an influencer’s audience; and Relevance, which matches the influencer\u2019s online activity with a specified list of keywords.<\/p>\n Who are today\u2019s influencers on the hot topic of data science? Take a look at the data science \u201cA-List\u201d<\/a> I created with Traackr\u2019s help, a dynamic ranking of the influencers that bring us news and analysis about the tools, ventures, and accomplishments of the new breed of data scientists.<\/p>\n But who are these data scientists, you may ask? Almost all the people on the Traackr data science list write about data science but do not practice it. They are great guides to not only what is new in data science but also to those data scientists that emerge from time to time from underneath the data to speak publicly about what makes them tick. <\/p>\n
