FACEBOOK USERS DECIDE ON STOCK The retailer Zha Huo Dian in Singapore is now enabling Facebook users to help decide what it sells. Whenever Zha Huo Dian posts a product on its Facebook page with a photo and details about it, which is then 'liked' by a user, it appears for sale in the online shop at "zhahuodian.com.sg". If more users click on the Like button, the product will be made more readily available in the store, too. Customers can pay for their orders using PayPal, although deliveries are still only made within Singapore.

FINDING A CAR VIA IMAGE RECOGNITION The German online car sales platform AutoScout24 has integrated an image recognition app called "Visual Search" into the latest version of its Android app, which recognises cars based on optical features and opens up related deals. A search of the local surroundings enables users to find a relevant advert for a car for sale, and makes it possible to contact the owner by phone. By using this app frequently, users can help to improve the teachable software. The initiators guarantee that the registration plates are not recorded and that no personal data is collected.

VIRTUAL CUSTOMER CONSULTANTS The start-up Spoken Language System has developed the first consultation app, known as "Lizzy", that can link voice and text analysis to a database search. Although "Lizzy" is still in beta, it can understand spoken and written sentences and remembers everything said previously. The system is intended for use during the first contact with customers and interested parties, and is capable of engaging in basic dialogue. It is certain to make the work of call centre agents in the e-commerce and customer service fields much easier, as it can deal with all the easy-to-answer questions.
