Retailers – Give your Facebook Fans FANtastic discounts at Retail World Asia 2011 and ignite a viral marketing campaign on Facebook

Taggo – Facebook Fan Recognition – is in action at the Retail World Asia 2011.

We were invited by IBM and our partner EBR to demonstrate how Taggo – Facebook Fan Recognition – can be easily installed into a IBM POS (Point of Sale) machine and be used at an retail outlet.

Simulating a fashion outlet, Jolt.F, we provide retailers the experience on how Taggo – Facebook Fan recognition – identify Facebook fans of the retailers’ Facebook Pages at the point of sale.

In this scenario, the “cashier” performs the regular sales transaction with the customer over the counter. Before payment, the “cashier” will ask for the customer if he is a fan of Jolt.F Facebook Page.

The customer takes out his credit/debit card, loyalty card and transit card, which he has used to register and link at the Jolt.F Facebook Page.

When the customer is recognised as a fan, the “cashier” can give the 20% discount to the fan.

But why is the retailer willing to give the customer/fan the 20% discount?

In return for the 20% discount, the fan has given permission, upon installing the Taggo app, to allow the retailer to advertise on his wall with a short status update to market to this fan’s network of friends.

The friend, attracted by the FANtastic discounts, can LIKE the status update or comment on it. This means his friends can also see the discount. If he is interested, he could also click on the JOLT.F link to join the Facebook Page. If he already has a JOLT.F loyalty card, he could link it. Otherwise, he could sign up for one.

When this fan shops and get the FANtastic discount, he also markets to his friends.

In short, Taggo turns the act of payment into the start of a viral marketing campaign initiated by a paying customer who is fan of the retailers’ Facebook Page.

Come down to the IBM booth at Retail World Asia 2011 and find out more about Taggo.

Will mrbrown's post on Mr Tan Kin Lian's thermometer app "misadventure" promote technology ageism?

I am not ashamed to say I support Mr Tan Kin Lian as a presidential candidate because I believed in what he stood for. And when Mr Tan posted his "misadventure" with a thermometer app, I did shake my head in disbelief that he did that. Source: http://www.mrbrown.com/blog/2013/07/we-could-have-had-him-for-president.html Thinking twice, there could be a possibility that Mr Tan misunderstood how this app work. Most thermometer app take data from various weather stations to display the temperature on it. Yes, the technology savvy will do a #facepalm when they read the post and mrbrown's post demonstrated it perfectly. Wrote mrbrown , "Maybe the former Presidential-hopeful didn't realize he needed to upgrade to the Pro version of the app. Then his iPhone would not only measure temperature, it would also measure current PSI (PM2.5 included), tell you if you are having your period, and cook instant noodles. Good thing he didn't try to measure boil

How UOB's Paper Trail Amplifies IT Greatest Security Threat

UOB required you to do everything on paper. If you want to change your mobile number for your banking account with them or for your credit card, you need to fill up a form. Yet, this paper trail represented a potential security fail for the bank - Human Error. So a bitcoin expert walked into UOB to open a bank account. The bank employee had to print a form from a online pdf document to fill in this bitcoin expert's particulars. When it came to entering the bitcoin expert's email, that's when the forgotten art of handwriting was the most obvious of the digital generation. Wrote Robert Capodieci, My name is Roberto Capodieci, as most of you know. and my email address is very obvious to decode. It is not a p4l_l337_s0u1@gmail.com, but it is a more obvious roberto@capodieci.com, thing that, right after reading my name in the same form, should come out easy. Still, a data entry personnel of the UOB bank (or of a service provider the UOB bank uses) entered it as roberto

NEL Train Fault Shouts Lack Of Crisis Communication

The North-East Line train fault of 11 April 2018 was my virgin experience of a rush hour train fault since I moved to Punggol. One would have thought that with the number of train faults experienced by the North-East Line operator, SBS Transit, they would have improved the communications and handling of train faults. However, my personal experience told another story. First, there were no announcements at the Punggol LRT stations of the train fault even though SBS Transit manages them. The train fault was reported as early as 7.10am as I had a friend who was also stuck in the train. I boarded the LRT at Coral Edge around 7.30am and I didn't hear of any announcement nor was there any signage to inform me o the train fault at Punggol Station. Second, the announcement kept saying that there would be a 15 minutes delay, but 15 minutes passed and the trains, on both side, wasn't moving. If the announcement would be more frank to say it will be a longer delay, commuters would
