Today's Story Highlights

GE Blazes Trail to Industrial Internet
The Internet of Things market has been struggling to get untangled,
despite the hype regarding unprecedented business opportunities. GE's
latest initiative to capitalize on those IoT opportunities might be the
catalyst many corporate executives have been waiting for to advance
their own goals. GE has been in the vanguard of efforts to build a new,
more scalable and secure Industrial Internet.

Twitter Goes Long With Historic Tweet Access
Twitter on Tuesday announced a search API that will give business users
instant and complete access to every historical public tweet about a
subject of interest. Based on the Historical PowerTrack and 30-Day
Search API tools developed by Gnip, which Twitter purchased last year,
the API lets users search tweets back to March 2006, when the first one
was posted.

Will Google Win the Alphabet Game?
Google suddenly announced something much bigger. It is splitting itself
into several different companies under one master brand called
"Alphabet." Splitting up is what Google has needed to do for several
years. The idea of creating a master brand makes enormous sense for a
company like Google, which is an octopus with many arms. However, it is
only right if it is done correctly.
