Amazon's Big Day: All for Prime, Prime for All
Amazon on Tuesday launched its second annual Prime Day promotion,
offering tens of thousands of deeply discounted lightning deals for top
customers and ratcheting up the e-commerce competition. Walmart and
others struck back in an aggressive effort to hold onto their key
customers. Prime Day had a slightly bumpy start, with Some customers
reported having problems checking out purchases.

Nintendo Shares Surge on Pokemon Go Juggernaut
Nintendo shares soared on Monday after its new augmented reality mobile
app, Pokemon Go , burst out of the gate over the weekend in the U.S and
in key markets around the globe. The company's shares rose 36 percent in
two days, after downloads of the Pokemon Go app raced to the top of iOS
and Android charts in the U.S. The wave of demand exceeded expectations,
said Morgan Stanley MUFG analyst Mia Nagasaka.

Twitter to Carry Live Convention Coverage on the Web
Twitter will stream CBS News' live coverage of the Republication and
Democratic National Conventions, the companies announced Monday. Twitter
and CBS previously partnered on one of each party's presidential primary
debates. In both instances, CBS' coverage included real-time metrics and
curated tweets, and questions Twitter users submitted during the
broadcasts were put to the candidates.

Salesforce Wraps Up Demandware Acquisition
Salesforce on Monday announced it had completed its $2.8 billion
acquisition of e-commerce cloud software platform Demandware. The deal
"gives Salesforce the e-commerce piece to compete against Oracle, which
already has e-commerce capabilities, as well as SAP," said Rebecca
Wettemann, VP of research at Nucleus Research. "It also gives Salesforce
a cloud transactional platform for B2C purchases."

Airbnb Fights City Hall Over San Francisco Registration Rule
Airbnb recently filed suit against San Francisco over a new rule
governing short-term rentals, which the city's Board of Supervisors
approved last month. An Airbnb-supported law adopted earlier this year
requires short-term rental hosts to register with the city, but it's
estimated that only about 20 percent of them have done so. The new rule
requires services like Airbnb to enforce the law.
