Greetings IoT Weekly News Readers! Thank you for checking out Issue #44. Last week we dedicated the entire issue Healthcare. I would be curious to know what people thought about us doing issues on specific vertical markets. Please send us your thoughts on Twitter.
This week however we go back to the usual smattering of information around the IoT. We've got some great news coverage of analytics from IBM's Watson along with articles on Security, Business, Bid Data and Industrial. We also end it off with a very cool Kickstarter project!
Hope you enjoy this issue and please tweet it to your followers!
