How Google and Facebook are using R : Data Evolution

This is an interesting blog post/report summarizing a panel discussion for an R users group in the bay area where a couple of people from Google and Facebook discuss how they use R. The panel was called “The R and Science of Predictive Analytics”

One of the interesting points for me is that google uses R for modelling but not productions. For production they implement in python or C++.
