The OTT biz news channel, Cheddar announced its acquisition of StockStream, the world's first cooperative, multiplayer stock market game that uses real money. The viral stock game allows players to vote on which stocks a portfolio should buy or sell. StockStream players are allowed to vote every five minutes on what stocks to buy or sell. Cheddar plans to increase the game's offerings and work on other projects down the line.
Amazon's launch of its new Geek Squad-type service is another reason among many on why Amazon is taking over the world. The new feature is called Amazon Smart Home Service Store and it makes sure the new smart product you just purchased from Amazon is correctly installed and fully set up in your home. You can hire Amazon's background-checked service providers for an at-home installation or a free consultation.
