Big data might translate into higher online prices by Noah Smith via @infomgmt

The more information a merchant gets about a customer -- where they live, what they buy, what websites they visit, etc. -- the better they can predict how much they’d be willing to pay for a certain product.

This is an interesting way to look at pricing and how big data could affect that going forward.  Lets hope it doesn't make too much of an impact on real pricing.
