Check out some education on Hadoop here.

Hadoop is really for processing analysis across are large data sets – similar to business intelligence tools today.

I predict that all the data we will interact with will be held within a large scale cluster such as Hadoop.  We will just need a web client to interact with the data soi that we can perform our jobs.

I believe that Hadoop is the future of the desktop not in terms of how it looks but in how it allows us to access and interact with vast amounts of data.

A couple of simple examples would be Google Chrome and the view of your popular web pages and Lotus Notes’ Workplace view.  The visual icon UI interface is really easy to interact with – it just adds an additional emphasis on the icon that you use – an extra navigation ui component.

Here is a video explaining my thoughts.

Here is a short video explain a UI option within Lotus Notes v8.5.

For me the draw card is Dominic Thurbton giving a key note along with the Commonwealth bank delivering a presentation on WebSphere Portal and Social software and then a short SaaS discussion.

Rock along, it would be great to see you there, ping me on twitter @sparkbouy if you can make it.
