Taggo wins 2011 Asia Pacific Frost & Sullivan Enabling Technology Award

Taggo, the world’s only provider of online fan recognition solutions in the physical world, today announced it was conferred the 2011 Asia Pacific Frost & Sullivan Enabling Technology Award. The Award is presented annually to a company that has demonstrated excellence in developing a technology that can benefit or revolutionize the industry. Taggo won the Award specifically in the area of Retail Visibility through Social Media.

“This Award magnifies the industry’s need to go the next step to recongise fans of its social networking platforms in the physical world,” said Aneace Haddad, CEO and Founder of Taggo. “Banks and retailers can now recognise online fans to provide for fan benefits at the point sale thus extending their online experience of their targeted audience into the real world.”

Taggo’s patent pending technology brings social media marketing to the point of sale. Customers click “like” on their bank’s or retailer’s Facebook page, and register their credit or debit cards to get exclusive fan benefits when they shop. Whenever a customer enjoys a discount or other fan benefit, Taggo automatically posts a message on the customer’s wall saying that they “like” the bank and the merchant.

Taggo helps banks and retailers attract new customers, engage and communicate with more people, and create opportunities for recommendations and referrals in popular social networks.

Hossan Leong, a Singapore radio personality for The Gold Breakfast Show on Gold 90.5, was censured today for reporting on train delays on the Circle Line because he based the information on Tweets, rather than waiting for the official reports from the Circle Line operator, SMRT.  It is, however, unknown if the "warning" came from Mediacorp producers or SMRT. Tweeted Hossan Leong ,  OK...I reported it on air and now I'm getting into trouble for it?? The CC line is DOWN rite? I did nothing wrong rite?

DBS Bank – One Tweet too little too late.

(Updated post - DBS apologise with the 3Rs – Will social media bite? ) It was the bluest Monday for DBS/POS Bank in its entire banking history when more than 1000 of their ATM and online banking services were taken offline due to a software upgrade an outage (PR announced that it was down due to software upgrade, but the outsourcer, IBM, later claimed it was an outage). So on that Monday, DBS decided to sign up onto Twitter and post a 140 characters one-liner onto Twitter to post a one liner to inform the Twitterverse of the down time. Everybody knows that if you just create a new account on Twitter, you would start off with 0 friends. How would you be able to inform the Twitterverse if you start with 0 friends? DBS Bank did something smart to insert the #dbs and #posb and that probably drew some attention to this account. However, the effectiveness of the tweet was lacking as it drew only 28 retweets. As of this posting, DBS Bank attracted 274 followers. A letter to T...
