Facebook wants more companies in WhatsApp to monetize the application

After the slow growth registered in the first half of the year, the social network wants to find new sources of income. One solution is to turn WhatsApp into a digital customer support center.

Facebook is determined to monetize WhatsApp. According to the social network, which holds the messaging app since 2014, the application will be optimized to host business services, as will be the case of customer service, and Facebook will start to display branded ads that will refer you to a conversation window on WhatsApp with the advertiser company. This means that advertisers can start buying interactive advertising space. The benefits in this case is that as soon as the user clicks on the advertisement, the brand can immediately initiate the contact, sending appropriate information to the consumer.

To monetize the application directly, Facebook will install a rapid response system that will charge the company if it takes a message to send a message to a customer who initiated an interaction. If the brand in question takes less than 24 hours to respond, the conversation will be free, but if it exceeds this limit, the US technology will apply a cost to the service, which will have to be paid by the brand. If, on the one hand, this is a way to monetize WhatsApp, on the other, it can also be a very efficient strategy for improving customer service.

The commercial chat that Facebook idealizes will be similar to that of Messenger, but the social network underlines that in WhatsApp, this interaction will have to be more immediate in order to create a distinction between both services. Note that although available for some time now, customer service via Facebook is not an efficient way of communicating between seller and buyer, since, as a rule, the answers are slow to arrive.As the Mark Zuckerber giant writes, it will be a question of companies checking whether or not they want to provide digital support in real time.

Business features have been available to a select group of companies since last September. In this batch of companies are brands like Uber and Singapore Airlines, which have served as "guinea pig" for conducting some tests in the app.

Apple makes history and is already a "trillion-dollar baby"

There are 13 digits that make the Cupertino giant the first US company to beat the billion dollar target in market value. Petrochina was the first to register this feat in 2007, but it was a tough sun.
Last year, the apple brand was the first company in history to beat the $ 800 billion barrier in market value and this year the technology giant's aim was to mark the billion dollar stock market.
And while Amazon last week followed closely with Apple as it surpassed the $ 900 billion market capitalization, it was the company led by Tim Cook that on Thursday reached 

$1,000,000,000,000, according to Bloomberg . Anything like about 850 billion euros

After they were worth $ 207.05, the apple brand's shares suffered a slight decline to $ 206.41 in Thursday's session. For this contributed the positive results presented by the company of the one that was the best quarter of June of always of the technological one.

With a total revenue of $ 53,265 million (about 45,532 million euros), the company's chief executive, Tim Cook, said that "this is the best quarter to end in June ever for Apple, partly due to sales of iPhones and the focus on services ".

However, the American technology giant is not the first company in the world to reach this number. The pioneer was PetroChina, the largest oil company in China, which in November 2007 reached a valuation of one billion dollars. However, this registration did not last long.

All that remains to be asked is who is the next giant to enter the narrow trillion-dollar club in a dispute between Amazon, which has a market value of $ 873 billion ($ 748 billion) and the Alphabet of 855 million - about 732 billion euros

Apple force the update MacOS Sierra? & Now everyone can have secret conversations in Messenger

Do you remember when you started to realize that Microsoft forced Windows 7:08 upgrade to new 10? Much has been written and discussed about the issue and Microsoft has always tried to justify ... until he realized that it is preferable to the possibility of users decide and not really require them.

But Apple seems to have learned from this case and discharge the MacOS Sierra is happening automatically.

The news was released by the channel that the register shows that Apple is following Microsoft rival steps and automatically download the MacOS Sierra (the latest version of the operating system for Apple Desktop).

However, it is important to note that this update is only for those who have discharged the function of active automatic updates. It should also be noted that, by this means, Apple only proceeded to the provision of security patches and updates to the operating system level in use.

The automatic discharge consists of 4.8 GB of data that are downloaded to the equipment supported for updating such as:

• MacBook late 2009 and later
• Late 2009 iMac and later
• MacBook Air 2010 and later
• MacBook Pro 2010 and later
• Mac Mini 2010 and later
• Mac Pro 2010 and later

It is also known that the system installation is not automatic, requiring user consent of the machine to move forward.

How to disable this option?

Although not require the update, many users may not want to have active this option. To disable only need to perform two simple steps.

Start by accessing System Preferences and search the App Store option.

Then look for the Download new updates option in the background and withdraw the option which should be selected.

Immediately MacOS lets you download new versions and updates, leaving the user to upgrade care.

Despite Apple not be so hard on this level as Microsoft did (that sometimes even used some "tricks" to force the update), the truth is that it is the first time that the Cupertino company is implementing function at this level.

German law prohibits data sharing scheme between Facebook and WhatsApp & Xiaomi presents two new smartphones and is facing Apple and Samsung

German law prohibits data sharing scheme between Facebook and WhatsApp

The German authority for data protection ordered Facebook to eliminate all data collected on German WhatsApp users. According to the local authority, the German law prevents the sharing of data between platforms.

After announcing sharing WhatsApp user data with Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg is now grappling with the first legal constraint to the scheme.

In a statement issued Tuesday, the German authority for data protection says the plan violates national law of digital privacy and orders the social network delete all the data already collected the German WhatsApp users.

According to Commissioner Hamburg for data protection, Johannes Caspar, "This order protects nearly 35 million users" that, to date, have not expressly authorized and necessary for the storage of data across platforms.

It is recalled that, with the new framework for sharing data between WhatsApp and Facebook, the social network is empowered to collect phone numbers from messaging app. An authorization, says Facebook, can help create more targeted advertising experience and more appropriate friends suggestions.

The partnership has been under fire from users and other regulators of privacy, especially in Europe. Earlier this month, Margrethe Vestager, European commissioner for competition, confessed that he had several questions to ask Facebook following this same scheme.
