• Resumen

  • Baidu, China's Internet giant, has shown what people can learn when they have access to enough location data. The firm's Big Data Lab in Beijing has used billions of location records from its 600 million users as a lens to view the Chinese economy. It has tracked the flux of people around offices and shops as a proxy measurement for employment and consumption activity. The lab even used the data to predict Apple's second quarter revenue in China.
