Today's Story Highlights

Making It in Multichannel E-Commerce
Contemporary e-commerce means selling through a variety of channels
beyond traditional company-owned websites -- including a plethora of
social media, mobile and other platforms. Multichannel selling quickly
has become the norm, and consumers increasingly expect to be able to
shop wherever they happen to be in the digital world. "Today, retailers
have countless options of channels to choose from," said Marcel
Hollerbach, CMO of Productsup.

Security Pros: Be on High Alert for Certificate Changes
They say that the key to good security is constant vigilance. As a
practical matter, this means that it's important for security and
network pros to pay attention to two things: changes in the threat
landscape, so they can be on the alert for how their systems might be
attacked; and changes and developments in the technologies they employ.
These consequences matter quite a bit.

Facebook Gives Privacy-Minded Users Some Control Over Activity Tracking
Facebook has announced the release of Off-Facebook Activity, a tool that
will let members see which apps and websites supply information about
their online activity, and clear that information from their Facebook
accounts if they wish. Once members have cleared their off-Facebook
activity, Facebook will remove their identifying information from the
data it collects.

Platform Power
For decades a database application was what we called an "app" that
collected and regurgitated data in preset formats on paper reports and
screens. That's becoming passé, but it once was a major advance because
it gave a worker the necessary information to take decisive action.
Today that's rarely enough. Downward cost pressures have been replacing
some of the rote human effort with algorithms.
