Today's Story Highlights

New Deals Turn Twitter's Content Stream Into a River
Twitter has announced a partnership with Bloomberg to launch a 24-hour
streaming news service -- one of a dozen new content deals Twitter has
entered to drive user engagement. CEO Jack Dorsey and a group of top
executives announced the slate of programming agreements -- which
include concerts from Live Nation, sports from Major League Baseball and
the WNBA, and a morning news show from BuzzFeed.

The Grim Upward Trajectory of Mobile Fraud Risks
More than 8,600 retail locations will shut down this year, following the
5,077 that closed last year, based on data from Credit Suisse. Moreover,
2017 could surpass 2008 -- the worst year for retail closures on record
-- when 6,163 stores shut down operations. However, unlike 2008, when
overall consumer spending declined with the onset of a global recession.

Reasoning in CRM
It gives some measure of the importance we give to AI that I went to two
conferences last week and sat through two panel sessions on the subject.
At CRM Evolution, I was part of the discussion in a breakfast session.
At the Oracle CX show, executives involved in the adaptive intelligent
applications product line tried to define the basics in a session for
analysts and reporters.
