Pay with PayPal at Rock And Ash and enjoy 20% off.

Rock and Ash has officially launched the Rock and Ash Fan Club powered by PayPal.

To join the Fan Club and link your PayPal account, all you need to do is visit http://taggo.me/RockandashSG.


Wrote Koon Teck, the partner at Rock and Ash,

Dear Fans, do you know that you can now use your paypal to pay for your meal at our cafe ? You just need to link your Fans account to your paypal and using your handphone to authorise the purchase when paying at the cashier. It is seamless, cashless, cardless and most importantly you get 20% discount off.

Aneace Haddad, CEO and founder of Taggo, paid for his first burger with PayPal at Rock and Ash a few weeks back.

Look Ma! No credit card! No wallet! Just my mobile phone!


I just paid for my first burger with PayPal at Rock and Ash. When fans join the Rock and Ash fan club, they have the option to link their mobile number to their PayPal account. Then, at the point of sale, all they have to do is give their mobile number to the cashier. The customer receives an SMS to authorize the transaction, and that's it. The purchase is done.


Fans get big discounts, merchants get more fans and word of mouth advertising (for free! Almost forgot to mention that) and PayPal gets a cool new way to create demand for mobile payments at the point of sale.


In discussion with clients, paying with PayPal offline provides retailers with a much affordable alternative to accept credit card payments.

There are no high sign-up fees or monthly rental fee that most banks ask for to install a simple credit card terminal at the point of sale.

The other advantage is the free word-of-mouth advertising that engages friends of the fans to be aware of the fan club and the participating retailer. Rock and Ash acquired 205 new fans in just one month of the launch of the fan club. In comparison, it took them six months to acquire this same number of new fans previously

In addition, since no credit card details is exchanged at the POS, this increase the level of security between retailer and customer.

For more information on how to set up your fan club, please email info(at)taggo.me.

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

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
