Yet another acquisition to start our day, Twitter acquires Magic Pony Technology. This is an interesting purchase as it seems to be another technology buy from Twitter. On Google Analytics, we get a post about a wealth of features in Google Data Studio. The push to get social data into the tool is a slightly different approach then we have seen in the past. Docker announces the availability of experimental distributed application bundles. As much as I think there is too much hype around Docker, they have been developing great tools and pushing DevOps further.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
