Re: We Spotted An Instagram Ad

They are definitely AB testing these like crazy! I see multiple ads per day, and my friends of the same age/gender/location demo I know don't see any in their feed. So far it's mostly been CPG brands, fashion retailers, tech, and movie/TV/media clients.

LOL The GIF at the end. I'm cryinnggg.

But seriously, Instagram costs a lot of money to sustain and we all knew this was coming. I honestly think Instagram should take a cue from Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr and place sponsored posts in the home stream instead.

For all the people shouting, this is an ad you can ignore for a service you won't pay for.

Re: Minuum And Fleksy Are Android Keyboards You Should Download

D-Nie — Sun, 18 May 2014 11:23:15 -0000

I've been using minuum for the past 4 months now and I'm totally in love with the keyboard. The autocorrect has been pretty great so far and it really saves a lot of screen real estate for me. I just tried downloading Fleksy recently as my friend recommended it to me and I love the feel of the keyboard as well and the 6 new additional colors makes it really appealing plus I love the minimalistic feel it gave off. I can't decide which of the 2 I prefer more.

Re: BlackBerry Announces BlackBerry Q20 And BlackBerry Z3

ryanbarone — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 12:05:09 -0000

The Z3 is a great option in Indonesia. BlackBerry will gain some marketshare and I am certain the Q20 will do well in the US market, though I don't see BB ever surpassing Windows, let alone iOS and Android. Alas, they have the best phones but they're inability to innovate brought them down. Great article, Binjo.

Z3:n är enastående val i Indonesiska. BlackBerry ska få marknadsdel och jag är för säker Q20:n kommer att gör bra inom US-marknaden. Dock jag inte förutser BlackBerry att gör bättre än till exempel Windows och iOS och Android. Nej... ändå BlackBerry har bästa enheterna då skulle kunda sig inte innovera så är solnedgång för dem. Bra artikel Binjo.

Re: TaxiPark Co-founders Launch Tranzit.ng

Dayo — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 15:45:48 -0000

I was a avid customer of TaxiPark when they were still in business; coming from the western society I had become used to the convenience of ordering everything online... So, when I discovered TaxiPark I was very happy; it made getting a taxi (in my neighborhood) just a little bit easier here in Nigeria.

But, sadly...TaxiPark started off great and within a few weeks became mediocre and disappointing as far as reliability and customer service was concerned.
If the same people that founded TaxiPark are also the founders of this new venture Tranzit; then from my opinion it will not be any better... It seems more like the company changed their name to run away from the old problems rather than improve.

Attached below this paragraph is a letter I posted on TaxiPark's facebook wall back in July of 2013; they were encouraging customers to vote for them as a top startup company in Lagos. However, it would have been impossible for any customer to honestly vote for them and be sincere about their ballot. TaxiPark had become very disappointing in every sense... The best thing for them to have done was shut down.

" I have been using Taxi Park for quite some time since your
launch and in the span of a few months the initial reliable service you had,
has dwindled drastically... I placed a taxi request at 5:00PM online with your
company of Friday evening... I had an important meeting to attend at 7:15PM on
the Island in Victoria Island and I was leaving from Anthony Village on the
Mainland. I got the usual email and text confirmation stating that I will get a
call from an operator with the status of my taxi request. But I did not receive
a call from your operator Rita or any other operator; nor did any taxi car ever
show up at my location to pick me up. At the last minute when I realized no cab
will be attending to me from your business; I had to start scrambling to find another
taxi from other sources. Needless to say I was very late for my appointment and
as a result lost a business opportunity of my own. This is the second time this has happened tome and it has happened again today making it the third time… Not to mention I have other complaints among the major ones I have stated.
When your service first started, I was ecstatic and was very
optimistic about it… I actually believed that it would run in a responsible
manner with good integrity towards the service it offers and the customers that
patronize you. But, unfortunately it has already falling through the cracks and
it hasn’t reached its sophomore year in business. Surprisingly, it has been the
taxi drivers’ friendly manner and personality that has kept me patronizing your
business; if not for the drivers, I would have forgone the use of TaxiPark a
long time ago.
Unfortunately, I do not believe that you should be voted as
a top startup company in Lagos when your service has become undependable.
Please return the company to a commendable status, so your initial customers
can consider you a laudable business again."

As you can see from the letter, TaxiPark wasn't something to rave about..It is truly hard for me to believe Tranzit will run any differently. If the founders lack the ability and knowledge of training staff to run their business efficiently in the past... Then they are bound to hit that brick wall again... Staff monitoring and training is an ongoing process to keep a business upright and at it's peak; not a one time thing.

Despite all that I've said... I do wish them the best of luck and I surely hope they have made the appropriate changes needed to keep the business enterprising.

To be sincere I didn't read whatever y'all are writing, too long (no offense to anyone). Technology is good, it's how we use it that counts, BTW I love mobile tech and everything techy.

Binjo you reviews are captivating.
Doing a good job.
