Today's Story Highlights

Twitter Sics Promoted Tweets on Logged-Out Users
Twitter on Thursday revealed it's testing the expansion of promoted
tweets aimed at logged-out users. The company has been searching for
ways to monetize the patronage of the roughly 500 million logged-out
users per month who hop off Google for a moment to read tweet or two.
The glue here is more tweets, more content. The test will enable logged-
out users to view promoted tweets.

Walmart Jumps Into Mobile Pay Fray
Walmart on Thursday introduced its own mobile payments solution to let
customers make in-store purchases with an Android or iOS smartphone. The
move will make it the only retailer to compete with third-party mobile
payment systems. Walmart currently is rolling out the feature through
its Walmart mobile app in select stores in the northwest Arkansas area.

Sage Live Launches on Salesforce AppExchange
Sage Software on Wednesday announced that it has launched Sage Live on
the Salesforce AppExchange marketplace. Sage Live, built on the
Salesforce AppCloud, gives small businesses real-time data connecting
CRM, accounting and financial data, and can scale with a business. It
works with thousands of third-party apps through real-time integrations
and APIs so it can be completely customized, the company said.

Aussie Cops Raid Home of Elusive Suspected Bitcoin Inventor
Australian police on Wednesday raided the home of a shadowy figure who
just hours earlier had been outed as one of the original founders of
bitcoin digital currency in two separate media reports. Identified in
multiple media reports, Australian entrepreneur Craig Steven Wright was
said to be the man who created the controversial bitcoin cryptocurrency.

IBM Leaps Into Video Delivery
IBM on Tuesday revealed that it has acquired Clearleap, a company that
develops cloud middleware for streaming video between endpoints.
Clearleap's scalable video platform can support millions of concurrent
users in the event live broadcasting is in high demand. Customers of the
company, which recently raised $40 million in funding, include the NFL,
Time Warner Cable, Verizon and HBO.

Microsoft and Apple Share a Peaceful Moment
Can you imagine Microsoft and Apple actually liking each other? Who'da
thunk such a thing was even possible? However, the holiday spirit is
alive and well at Microsoft. The company flew a bunch of workers from
around the country into New York City for something very special. They
met with a local NYC children's youth choir at Microsoft's new Fifth
Avenue store to spread some special holiday cheer.
