Can we call Twitter data as ‘big data’ (say 300,000 tweets) or not?Might be a very stupid question, but I’d really like to get some opinion as I am confused with one of reviewer comments. appreciate your thoughts on it 🙏

Like others have mentioned, it's an vague term when trying to find the line. I would definitely consider the entirety of Twitter as "big data". 300,000 tweets (to me) wouldn't be considered a large dataset in terms of space but maybe from an analysis perspective.

This is my opinion, but anything under a gigabyte is small in today's enviroment. Hundreds of gigabytes is large. Getting into the terabytes would be "big data" for me. Large tech companies would probably consider petabytes big data.
