A growing number of Amazon tech employees work in Broomfield and Denver, and those offices still have 33 openings . On another career page, Amazon has about 80 full-time openings in Colorado, including hiring for “ a new team ” in Boulder to focus on digital advertising , consumer electronics software engineers and tech workers with security clearance to help U.S. Department of Defense organizations roll out cloud computing. The Seattle behemoth is also expanding nontech jobs — it needs a manager for its first brick-and-mortar bookstore in the state at a mall in Lone Tree; it needs more Prime Now associates for new locations in Lakewood , Broomfield and the Denver Tech Center ; and there are its two distribution centers operating in Aurora, with a third one opening this fall in Thornton. … [Read more...] about HQ2 or not, Amazon is already in Colorado — and rapidly expanding

Study Finds Online Bots Helped Hype GameStop Stock
A recent white paper from PiiQ Media says that bots on several social media sites were building coordinated hype around so-called “meme stocks” like GameStop, Reuters reports. PiiQ Media found that tens of thousands of bots on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have been pushing meme assets, according to a report provided to the Daily Caller by the Massachusetts-based cybersecurity firm. However, the assessment was inconclusive on how influential the bots actually were in the trading phenomenon that captured media headlines and American’s attention in late January to early February, the report said.

The work continues,” said Sam Bailey, who oversaw the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp.’s effort. Bailey said that Amazon’s economic development team notified his staff early Thursday morning. “The email was four sentences, thanking us for the submission, discussing the next steps and a focus on learning about the community, the talent and potential real estate,” Bailey said.
