West Sacramento-based Raleys has launched a social media-based marketing/sales solution developed by Revionics Inc., the former Roseville-based company that moved its headquarters to Austin, Texas, last year.

The Social Commerce solution is the main component of a Raleys social media rewards program called Extra Friendzy, which provides users with time-sensitive, limited-quantity offers through social media channels, such as Facebook. The aim is to drive in-store traffic and also draw consumers to Raleys comprehensive customer rewards program, called Something Extra. The Revionics solution can be accessed across online, mobile and in-store channels.

Officials said previous testing produced positive results, and Raleys believes that Extra Friendzy will enhance its social media audience and promote growth of Something Extra, the companys first-ever customer loyalty and rewards program launched in September 2012.

Raleys operates 128 stores in Northern California and Nevada under the Raleys Supermarkets, Bel Air Markets, Nob Hill Foods and Food Source banners.

Revionics, a maker of pricing software for the retail industry, still maintains a Roseville office, with about 30 employees.

FILESHARING WEBSITE The Pirate Bay is working on a censorship-avoiding P2P web browsing experience.

The website is reacting to pressures from rights holders. It is very unpopular among media firms and in the UK, at least, most ISPs are blocking access to it and some other websites like it.

The Pirate Bay has made a number of changes already, most recently having to do with its domain name and address, and it has also been working behind the scenes on a system that makes the website and its Bittorrent links available to users.

"The goal is to create a browser-like client to circumvent censorship, including domain blocking, domain confiscation, IP-blocking. This will be accomplished by sharing all of a site's indexed data as P2P downloadable packages, that are then browsed/rendered locally," said a Pirate Bay insider to the Torrentfreak website.

"It's basically a browser-like app that uses webkit to render pages, Bittorrent to download the content while storing everything locally."

The Pirate Bay already has its own web browser and that has acquired some 2.5 million users. Released on the 10-year anniversary of the filesharing website, it promised a TOR-based browser bundle. Again, as now, that was pitched as a solution for security and content aware web users.

"Piratebrowser is a bundle package of the TOR client (Vidalia), Firefox Portable browser (with foxyproxy addon) and some custom configs that allows you to circumvent censorship that certain countries such as Iran, North Korea, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Denmark, Italy and Ireland impose onto their citizens," it explained.

"While it uses TOR network, which is designed for anonymous surfing, this browser is intended just to circumvent censorship - to remove limits on accessing websites your government doesn't want you to know about."

Liberty Media Corp. ( LMCA ) recently expressed its desire to take full control of SIRIUS XM Radio Inc. ( SIRI ), the largest satellite radio entertainment provider in the U.S. At present, Liberty media holds approximately 53% of SIRIUS XM. The new proposal will give Liberty Media a 100% stake and consequently SIRIUS XM will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the former.

Per the deal, in a tax-free transaction, each share of SIRIUS XM will be converted into 0.076 shares of a new issue of Liberty Media Series C common stock. The existing Series A and Series B shareholders of Liberty Media will get 2 shares in the Series C stocks for each share they possess.

After the completion of the whole transaction, the existing minority shareholders (excluding Liberty Media) of SIRIUS XM will control approximately 39% of Liberty Media. The deal is subject to the approval of a special committee of independent directors and public stockholders of SIRIUS XM, other than Liberty Media.

The decision to acquire a 100% ownership in SIRIUS XM is viewed as Liberty Media's attempt to consolidate its position in the U.S. cable TV industry. The company currently controls a 27.3% stake in Charter Communications Inc. ( CHTR ), the fourth largest pay-TV operator in the U.S.

Liberty Media is aggressively pursuing an idea so that Charter Communications can acquire Time Warner Cable Inc. ( TWC ), the second largest cable MSO (multi service operator) in the U.S. However, Charter needs to raise at least $25 billion for this takeover, which will significantly leverage the company's balance sheet. In that case, Liberty Media may need to inject funds for Charter Communications.

A full control of SIRIUS XM will immediately raise Liberty Media's market capitalization to approximately $27 billion from the current level of about $16 billion. Similarly, annual EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) of Liberty Media will jump from $1.4 billion to around $2.6 billion. Liberty Media will also gain approximately $625 million of annual free cash flow of SIRIUS XM.

Currently, both Liberty Media and Charter Communications carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while both SIRIUS XM and Time Warner Cable carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
