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.

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.

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

Singapore radio personality in "hot soup" for reporting train delays based on Tweets?

Update - Hossan Leong has commented on this post to say " I'm not in trouble pls don't blow this out of proportion. Let it rest. It's getting silly. Thank you for your love and concern and I apologize for any misunderstanding." ~  Hossan Leong. 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? The SMRT Circle Line was reported to be down this morning during peak hours and started as early as 7am. However, local news only received official statement was received by the mainstream media at about 9
