  • Elon Musk Giving ‘Serious Thought’ To Build A New Social Media Platform

    Elon Musk Giving ‘Serious Thought’ To Build A New Social Media Platform

    Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk is giving “serious thought” to building a new social media platform, the billionaire said in a tweet on Saturday.

    Musk was responding to a Twitter user’s question on whether he would consider building a social media platform consisting of an open-source algorithm and one that would prioritize free speech, and where propaganda was minimal.

    Musk, a prolific user of Twitter himself, has been critical of the social media platform and its policies of late. He has said the company is undermining democracy by failing to adhere to free speech principles.

    His tweet comes a day after he put out a Twitter poll asking users if they believed Twitter adheres to the principle of free speech, to which over 70% voted “no”.

    “The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully,” he said on Friday.

    If Musk decides to go ahead with creating a new platform, he would be joining a growing portfolio of technology companies that are positioning themselves as champions of free speech and which hope to draw users who feel their views are suppressed on platforms such as Twitter, Meta Platform’s Facebook and Alphabet-owned Google’s YouTube.

    None of the companies, including Donald Trump’s Truth Social, Twitter competitors Gettr and Parler and video site Rumble, have come close to matching the reach and popularity of the mainstream platforms so far.

  • Google watches over Maps to protect bad actors from contributing fake reviews

    Google watches over Maps to protect bad actors from contributing fake reviews

    A few days ago Google published a blog post about how it keeps information on Google Maps “reliable.”  Google writes, “In a world that’s constantly changing, it’s important for Google Maps to give you the freshest, most up-to-date information possible — so you can know whether the restaurant down the street from you reopened or if your neighborhood grocery store has curbside pickup. One way we do this is through contributed content.”

    Every day, Google receives 20 million contributions from Maps users who are willing and eager to tell Google about changes to businesses’ hours of operations, phone numbers, and other important information that helps Maps users find out when they can visit a particular business and how to get in touch with the company. Google also receives photos and reviews among the contributions that Maps users send it daily.

    Of course, Google needs to be alert to make sure that the contributions being received are accurate. After all, 20 million contributions a day is a logistics nightmare and one incorrect phone number or bogus review posted on Google Maps could negatively impact a company. And some of the 20 million contributions that Google receives daily are bogus or faked on purpose, possibly by a company’s competitors, or by some malicious users.

    Google wrote, “As with any platform that accepts contributed content, we have to stay vigilant in our efforts to fight abuse and make sure this information is accurate. Thanks to a combination of machine learning and human operators, we continue to decrease the amount of content seen on Maps that is fraudulent or abusive – in fact, it’s less than one percent of all the content that is viewed on Maps.”

    Last year, Google was able to update information for 30% more business than the number it revised the year before. Using Machine Learning tools it blocked over 100 million fraudulent edits from going live by using ML technology to find malicious bots and abusive edits.

    That includes 7 million totally fake business profiles it removed and 12 million fake Business Profiles it took down. In addition, it stopped 8 million bad actors (and we don’t just mean those that didn’t win an Oscar) from claiming Business Profiles that weren’t theirs. Google added, “Thanks to continued improvements in our machine learning, our technologies and teams disabled more than 1 million user accounts due to policy-violating activity, such as online vandalism or fraud.”

    Earlier in this article, we mentioned how competitors could potentially post negative comments and reviews to damage a targeted store or business. Google itself alludes to this in his blog post by stating, “We also saw individuals and groups attempt to use fake reviews as a tactic to hurt local businesses — oftentimes spurred by public attention on differences in opinions.” So after detecting abuse and suspicious activity, Google protected 100,000 business from getting attacked on Google Business Profiles.

    Google also blocked or removed more than 95 million reviews that violated its policies. It also took down 1 million reviews that were reported to it and blocked over 190 million photos and 5 million videos that were blurry, low-quality, or violated Google’s content policies.

    As Google notes, “Local knowledge that our global community contributes is a huge part of what makes Google Maps more than a navigation tool. We’ll continue to invest in keeping this information fresh and reliable so you can discover information about the world around you.

    An app like Google Maps attracts bad actors because of its reach and the number of people that use it. For example, more than one billion people use Google Maps each month. And some companies that demanded that customers wear masks were the recipient of fake reviews posted by anti-maskers as a way to get back at them. Luckily, Google stands guard to make sure that these fake commends and ads are taken down.

  • Dyson to invest US$1.1 billion in Singapore as part of global plan

    Dyson to invest US$1.1 billion in Singapore as part of global plan

    Dyson, the inventor of the bagless vacuum cleaner, said on Friday it would invest S$1.5 billion ($1.1 billion) in Singapore over the next four years, the newest phase of a S$4.9 billion global investment plan.

    When Dyson announced the global investment plan in 2020, it said the money would be divided between the company’s global head office in Singapore, its two campuses in Wiltshire, southern England, and the Philippines.

    On Friday, it launched its new global headquarters in a restored power station in the Southeast Asian city-state, where it plans to hire more than 250 additional engineers and scientists.

    The positions will span robotics, machine learning, high-speed electric digital motors, energy storage, and more.

    Singapore is a hub for Dyson’s research and engineering teams, as well as commercial, advanced manufacturing, and supply chain operations. It has more than 1,400 staff in the country, including 560 engineers and scientists.

    Singapore, a low-tax global business centre, has been ramping up efforts to lure technology and research firms.

    “This is the future for technology companies – to go wherever talent is available and made welcome,” its prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong, said at the opening of the headquarters.

    “It is also the future for Singapore – to welcome companies and talent, which can help make us a hub of new ideas and scientific progress.”

    Founded by British entrepreneur James Dyson in the 1990s, the company became a household name by developing sleekly designed products ranging from hand driers and air purifiers to hair care tools and vacuums.

    Dyson, a billionaire Brexit supporter, announced plans in 2019 to move his company’s head office to Singapore to be closer to its fastest-growing markets, sparking a backlash at home.

    The company has other sites in Singapore, including an engineering hub, a motor manufacturing facility and a new battery factory.

    Southeast Asia is a major production base for Dyson with Malaysia counting as its second-biggest global hub.

    Last year, Dyson split with its supplier ATA IMS Bhd following an audit of the Malaysian company’s labour practices and allegations by a whistleblower.

    ATA made parts for Dyson’s vacuum cleaners and air purifiers.

  • FujiMart to expand its footprint in Vietnam

    FujiMart to expand its footprint in Vietnam

    Sumitomo Corporation is accelerating its expansion plan for its FujiMart grocery supermarket chain in Vietnam, eyeing about 50 new stores by 2028 through its extended partnership with BRG Group.

    The retail chain aims to open five to 10 stores per year from FY2022, including new stores in Ho Chi Minh City. FujiMart offers a product range, sales floor design, and freshness management tailored to local needs that are based on Japanese-style supermarket operations.

    “In recent years, the overall grocery retail market in Vietnam has been expanding rapidly due to rising personal incomes and improved living standards bolstered by economic growth,” Sumitomo said in a statement.

    “Growing consumer awareness in areas of food security and safety, including hygiene measures taken to fight Covid-19 infections, has led to a shift from traditional retail outlets run by individual proprietors to modern stores, such as supermarkets and convenience stores which offer superior levels of safety and convenience.”

    Launched in 2018 in Hanoi, FujiMart Vietnam currently operates three stores in the city. Under the partnership, BRG group owns 51 per cent of FujiMart while Sumitomo holds the remaining stake.

  • As western retail brands exit, Russia looks east for replacements

    As western retail brands exit, Russia looks east for replacements

    Russia is looking to China, India, Iran and Turkey to plug the gap created by an exodus of western retail companies, an industry body said on Friday, as Moscow grapples to find ways to combat its growing isolation in the face of sanctions.

    The Russian Council of Shopping Centres (RCSC), an organisation representing developers, shopping centre owners and retail chain operators, said it was negotiating with its corresponding representatives in the four countries about finding alternatives to western brands.

    “A list of foreign companies that have temporarily ceased operations in Russia was sent to them so that appropriate equivalents can be found,” a statement on the RCSC website read.

    “Over time this will help supplement or completely replace goods of the defunct brands with ones of a similar quality and design.”

    Dozens of big brands have temporarily shuttered operations or exited the country since Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24 in what it calls a special operation.

    Sanctions have hampered supply chains and fuelled panic buying among some Russians, with medicine and sugar shortages reported, and accelerating inflation is set to send prices higher.

    During an RCSC meeting of more than 100 market participants, the challenges facing Russian retailers were discussed.

    RCSC cited Igor Maltinsky, director of development at Melon Fashion Group, as saying that the main challenge facing domestic retail firms was the uncontrollable growth of production costs, due to huge increases in procurement and logistics costs, as well as many other related factors.

    Melon owns four, mainly women’s, fashion brands – Zarina, Befree, Love Republic and Sela and had 846 stores across Russia and CIS at the end of 2021. It had been planning to hold an initial public offering (IPO) this year.

    On Thursday, Swedish real estate firm Eastnine, a minority shareholder in Melon, said the planned IPO had been postponed. It said western sanctions had negatively affected the company, making valuing it very difficult.

  • Paris Baguette Indonesia grows as sales exceed expectation

    Paris Baguette Indonesia grows as sales exceed expectation

    SPC Group announced on March 24 that it is opening two Paris Baguette stores in Indonesia, one in Jakarta and the other in Bekasi. They are the third and fourth Paris Baguette stores in Indonesia, respectively.

    Paris Baguette, together with its local partner Erajaya Group, opened its first store in Indonesia, at Ashta Mall in November 2021. The Korean bakery giant is quickly establishing itself in the Indonesian market. Thanks to a great response from local customers, it expanded its presence beyond the capital city of Jakarta to the neighboring city of Bekasi.

    The third Paris Baguette store in Indonesia is located on the first floor of Pondok Indah Mall, one of the top five premium shopping malls in Jakarta, which is visited by an average of 100,000 people a day. The 162-squre-meter store opened with 66 seats on March 23.

    SPC Group is planning to operate Pondok Inda Mall Store as a flagship store in Indonesia that provides differentiated products and services. For customers who enjoy simple meals, it launched mushroom risotto and spicy seafood tomato pasta and drinks, including green grape ice tea of SPC Group’s tea brand Teatra.

  • Meta seals partnership for 3D ads in step toward the metaverse

    Meta seals partnership for 3D ads in step toward the metaverse

    Meta Platforms will make it easier for brands to run three-dimensional ads on its Facebook and Instagram social media platforms through a new partnership with an eCommerce technology firm.

    The integration with VNTANA will allow brands to upload the 3D models of their products to Facebook and Instagram and easily convert them into ads, VNTANA said on Thursday in a press release.

    The move is a stepping stone into advertising in the metaverse, said VNTANA Chief Executive Ashley Crowder, referring to the futuristic idea of a collection of virtual worlds that can be accessed through devices such as headsets.

    Meta has staked its future on contributing to the building of the metaverse, which it has said could take up to a decade to be realized.

    Meta previously partnered with augmented reality (AR) companies Modiface and PerfectCorp to help beauty and cosmetic brands more easily run 3D and AR advertising.

    “The metaverse is basically the spatial internet,” Crowder said. “It is a whole world of possibility that starts with having the right 3D models of your products.”

    Facebook and Instagram users who see a 3D ad while browsing on their desktop or phone can interact with an image of a handbag, for instance, and move it around to view the item from all angles.

    “In a way, this offers a glimpse of what you might expect on future devices like AR glasses,” said Chris Barbour, director of augmented reality partnerships at Meta’s Reality Labs unit.

    Before VNTANA’s integration with Meta, advertisers would need to reformat 3D files to be compatible with Meta’s ad systems. Now, brands can use VNTANA to easily upload and convert the files into ads without technical expertise in working with 3D images, Crowder said.

  • AirAsia boosts domestic and international flights

    AirAsia boosts domestic and international flights

    AirAsia gears up for the nation’s reopening by adding more international routes to cater for significant pent-up demand ahead of Malaysia reopening borders to international travel 1 April.

    With the continued easing of travel restrictions, the airline group increased domestic flight capacity in Malaysia by 156% since October 2021, when it kickstarted the Langkawi travel bubble scheme.

    It has also increased international flights by 50% since the Malaysian government’s 8 March announcement confirming the reopening of borders on 1 April.

    Currently, the airline has 75 aircraft operating flights across the group serving Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Singapore and Vietnam.

    AirAsia Aviation Group CEO Bo Lingam said:  We’re thrilled to be resuming more flights in all of our core markets in Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia and to be adding additional services to some of AirAsia’s most popular international destinations, including Bali, Manila, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Phuket and more, starting in April. Domestic flying also continues to soar across the group. We have recently  launched four new domestic routes in Malaysia from Kuching to Langkawi, Penang to Sibu, Johor Bahru to Bintulu and Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Terengganu this year.

    “While our domestic services across the group have grown by 156% in recent months due to significant consumer demand, and by 50% for international, we expect to return to 100% or more of pre-Covid domestic and international flying by the end of this year.”

    To spur travel demand and bookings to destinations such as  Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, India, Thailand, Indonesia, the Maldives, Brunei, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Laos, Bangladesh, the airline group is pegging fares as low as MYRM89 one-way, while domestic routes are on sale from just MYR39 one-way.

    Travelers can book cheap fares through the ‘Flights’ option in the AirAsia Super App from now until 27 March 2022 for travel between 1 April and 25 March 2023.

  • China’s JD Logistics seals US$1.1bn capital increase, stock drops

    China’s JD Logistics seals US$1.1bn capital increase, stock drops

    China’s JD Logistics priced new shares issued on Friday (Mar 25) in a US$1.1 billion capital increase at a steep discount to their previous close, triggering a slump in its stock early in the Kong Kong trading session.

    According to a Hong Kong Stock Exchange filing, JD Logistics priced the shares at HK$20.71 each, a discount of about 10 percent to Thursday’s closing price, to raise HK$8.53 billion (US$1.09 billion) on Friday. The stock fell by up to 11 percent on Friday in early trade to HK$20.35.

    The deal consisted of a placement of about US$700 million worth of shares to its parent company JD.com, and about US$400 million in a primary share sale, according to filings on Thursday.

    It was the first follow-on share sale in Hong Kong since Feb. 21, and the biggest since Sunac China carried out a US$580 milllion top-up placement in early January.

    It was also the third-largest follow-on deal in Asia and fifth globally this year, according to Refinitiv data.

    The share sale came despite ongoing volatility in regional equities markets, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index down 6.5 percent this year.

    The top 15 investors who bid during the bookbuild were allocated 80 per cent of the stock that was on offer, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter, who declined to be identified because he was not authorised to discuss the deal.

    JD.com did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the deal’s composition.

    JD Logistics said it would use the money raised to help fund potential acquisitions and build up its cash reserves.

  • Barry Callebaut expands NSW chocolate plant

    Barry Callebaut expands NSW chocolate plant

    Barry Callebaut has completed the expansion of its Campbellfield factory in Melbourne, after the 11,000 m2 site was acquired in 2020.

    The expansion will cater for local industrial food manufacturers with new production lines to increase the total operating capacity and its range of chocolate offerings. The range will now include liquid chocolate, compound, buttons and chips, in addition to the products already produced at the site such as coatings and fillings.

    “This factory expansion underlines Barry Callebaut’s ongoing commitment to Australia. The facility further strengthens our regional footprint in Asia–Pacific, producing safe and high-quality products. The move is in line with our ambition to locate production close to our customers,” said Jo Thys, President of the Asia Pacific region for Barry Callebaut.

    The factory will be equipped with chocolate refining and conching lines, which will enable the company to serve the Australian food industry from artisans to global manufacturers.

    “I am proud that our Gourmet chocolates have been brought into the country for many years now. Today, I am even prouder that our high quality ‘Made in Australia’ products are available in higher volumes, creating more chocolate happiness for our local consumers,” said Denis Convert, Managing Director Australia at Barry Callebaut.

    “With the expansion of our Campbellfield factory, we are well-positioned to become the leading chocolate manufacturer in Australia.”

  • Ads on Facebook are starting to recover from Apple’s App Tracking Transparency effect

    Ads on Facebook are starting to recover from Apple’s App Tracking Transparency effect

    Recently, Facebook has been struggling with its market share as it predicted a $10 billion loss in revenue due to Apple’s App Tracking Transparency. However, the company might be starting to recover its ad revenue.

    For those of you who don’t know, with iOS 14.5, Apple introduced a feature dubbed App Tracking Transparency (ATT), which allowed iPhone and iPad users to opt-out of tracking of their activity for targeted ads. Before this change, apps could track you across websites in order to offer you relevant ads, but Apple’s feature prevented that. And, as you can imagine, a vast majority of iOS users decided they didn’t want to be tracked.

    Facebook was among the companies that vocally disagreed with ATT, accusing Apple of harming small businesses with the move. And, as we could see later, Facebook ended up suffering quite a lot from ATT, and its ad revenue dropped significantly.

    As nothing is without consequence in this world, Facebook’s share value then plummeted because investors started selling their Facebook stock.

    However, things seem to be starting to improve, at least according to some small businesses owners on Facebook or Instagram. Many small businesses are claiming that their ads are performing better than usual. The reason for this change is… surprise, surprise – unknown at the moment.

    Earlier, Meta stated that it is working on adapting its advertisement systems to the new situation, so they can maximize the performance of ads. At the same time, many advertisers are reportedly still skeptical, but Meta seems to be working hard to maintain the improvement.

  • Twitter now lets you search your direct messages

    Twitter now lets you search your direct messages

    Good news for all people who like to track their online history to the last letter of the last message. Twitter has rolled out a new feature in its DM search bar, which allows you to search for specific messages using keywords.

    The search option has been present for quite some time but up until now it only allowed users to find a specific person or a group chat. With the latest improvement, Twitter allows people to granulate their searches and find content in their message history.

    We know you’ve been waiting for the option to search your DMs. Now you can use the search bar in your inbox to find specific messages using keywords and names.

    The new feature has been added to the Twitter mobile app – when you type something in the search bar at the top of your inbox, you’ll see additional filtering options – people, groups, or messages. If you chose messages, then the search will return DMs containing that particular keyword.

    This new search option can go way back in time and return results from up to three years in the past. However, it seems that this is the threshold, and older messages won’t appear in the results.

    Twitter keeps on adding interesting new features, last month the company added the option to tip creators with Ethereum, and back in November last year, Twitter started showing previews for Instagram links.

  • Spotify to move Greenroom to its main app, rename it to Spotify Live

    Spotify to move Greenroom to its main app, rename it to Spotify Live

    It seems that the Clubhouse craze is slowly dying out – Spotify is the latest company to make changes to its live conversation app, Greenroom. According to inside sources, Spotify plans to integrate Greenroom into the main app, and rename it to Spotify Live.

    The change is apparently happening in the second quarter of the year, with all the features migrating to Spotify. Creators will be able to organize and start conversations in Spotify Live, and subscribers will be able to listen to them in the main app.

    There’s another piece of evidence, tied to the change – it was found in the beta app by developer Steve Moser who allegedly shared the matter with Bloomberg. Spotify reacted to the popularity of Clubhouse, which exploded last year, by acquiring Betty Labs, the maker of social audio app Locker Room, and then rebranded the product to Greenroom.

    The short-lived success of Clubhouse resulted in many companies trying to replicate the functionality – Twitter introduced Spaces, and Facebook launched Live Audio Rooms. According to data from SensorTower, Clubhouse scored less than 1 million active monthly users in October 2021, compared to the top result of 9.6 million active users back in February of the same year.

    Integrating Greenroom into Spotify is probably a wise choice, as the standalone app failed to take off and managed to haul only 140,000 installs on iOS as of July 2021. Spotify, on the other hand, ended 2021 with 406m active users and 180m subscribers, and giving them the opportunity to listen to these Clubhouse-like streams may breathe a new life to the feature.

  • Google improves its search criteria for product reviews

    Google improves its search criteria for product reviews

    You’ve probably been in a situation where you’ve been looking to buy a new smartphone and have been constantly searching for reviews in order to decide if this phone is worth your hard-earned cash. Apparently, Google understands how important product reviews are to potential buyers. It recently improved its search engine to display more relevant reviews for potential buyers to easily decide if they want to buy a product or not.

    From now on, for Google Search to show reviews as search results, Google will be looking to see if product reviews meet certain criteria. According to a blog post from Google, Google Search will now look for product reviews to:

    • Include detailed information that will assist potential consumers in understanding all of the product’s pros and cons.
    • Come from people who have really used the products they’re talking about and can show what the product looks like and how to use it.
    • Include additional helpful information that manufacturers don’t provide, such as additional photos, audio, or links to other content that shows the reviewer’s experience with the product.
    • Include product comparisons or explain how a certain product differs from its rivals.

    Google’s new search criteria for product reviews currently only work if you search in English. But Google stated that it would expand these new criteria to other languages as well. In this regard, Google said, “Ultimately, our goal is to help people find trustworthy, reliable advice when they come to Search — no matter what they’re looking for.”
