ZAPPOS TURNS PINTEREST INTO SHOPPING TOOLThe online retailer Zappos has developed a platform called "PinPointing" that lets users find items posted by someone on Pinterest and generate a list of related products available at Zappos.com. Will Young, director of Zappos Labs, stated that users are 13 times more likely to share a purchase on Pinterest than on Twitter or Facebook, as it is regarded as the best social shopping experience. Users of "PinPointing" first enter the name of a user and then receive a keyword on each pin as well as a display of matching products.

TABLET MAGAZINES WITH SHOPPING FEATURESFlipBoard, an app for aggregating, displaying and reading content from providers such as National Geographic and Rolling Stone, is now offering "social catalogs" with integrated shopping features. The first "social catalog" was created in conjunction with Levi's. The elements on display can be designed interactively and, when touched, play an animation, a video or a melody. They also link up to shopping possibilities for the displayed products and thereby offer new sales opportunities via tablets.

EXPRESSIVE ROBOT AS FACTORY WORKERVanguard Plastics is now using an industrial robot developed by Rethink Robotics called "Baxter" in its factory in Connecticut and thus hopes to make production in the USA more competitive. "Baxter" is approx. two metres tall, weighs 300 pounds and can be programmed by any employee without needing specialist skills. The integrated screen represents the robot's face, enabling it to make simple expressions to let colleagues know if it is performing its work correctly or if there is a technical problem.

CATWALK AS LIVE SOCIAL SALES SHOWThe fashion chain Topshop has teamed up with Facebook to organise a live broadcast of a catwalk show in which snapshots of favourite outfits can be posted onto the wall and items on display ordered directly. Facebook specially developed a snapshot feature that captured certain moments from the broadcast as an image. The clothes, accessories and make-up will be sent to customers three months before they go on sale in the stores, and people can also choose from a range of colours. By tweeting their opinions about the brand's collection, people were able to take part in a contest to win prizes.

GETTING REAL-TIME RELEVANT INFO ON THE PHONEThe company "Expect Labs" develops software modules that analyse the spoken words in telephone calls or video chats and automatically provide the users with relevant information in real time. Complex mathematical algorithms based on voice recognition and semantic analysis recognise the contexts and decide which additional information would be relevant for the users to have. Developers can implement this into their software so that brokers, for example, can get useful, real-time information about the companies they discuss on the phone.

MERCEDES HIDES A-CLASS ON THE WEBFor the launch of the new A-Class, Mercedes-Benz Belgium hid the car and other gifts behind websites for users to go looking for them. Starting from the official A-Class website, people had to drag a miniature version of the car into the browser's bookmark list so that a link could be placed there. When accessing other websites, this link launched a Java code that showed users if they had found a prize. The person who found the car won the chance to drive the A-Class for a year for free.

APP DELETES FACEBOOK TIMELINE FOR A DAYOn the occasion of the 2012 World Alzheimer's Day, the London-based organisation Alzheimer's Disease International released a Facebook app that put users in the position of an Alzheimer's patient for a day. The app asked people to donate their Facebook timelines as a gesture of support. For one entire day, an empty page was shown to all the people who had downloaded this app. The timeline was replaced by the message, "Imagine your life without memories".

SPOTIFY PLAYLIST AS INVITATIONThe music streaming service "Spotify" has invited guests to an art exhibition in Stockholm via a link that leads to a playlist whose title tracks created a personalized invitation. The links are sent by an e-mail that only contains a short greeting and the Spotify link. New features from the streaming service make it possible for every guest to be targeted with a song bearing their own name. The exhibition deals with sounds that the experimental musician Hans Berg was inspired to create by the works of art on display.

TEST OF GOOD TASTE FOR FACEBOOK FANSCrispin Porter & Bogusky have developed a Facebook app for Kraft's mustard brand Grey Poupon, which only lets users become a member of the fanpage if they pass a test for having good taste. After applying for membership, the app searches the user's profile based on criteria such as their proper use of grammar, art taste, check-ins, book and movie selections, and gives them a percentage score for their refinement. If the resulting score is too low, users are asked to refine their profiles and try again.

SOFTWARE DETERMINES INFLUENCERS 100 TIMES FASTERA software program was presented at the Social Computing Conference in Amsterdam that can determine the most influential people in networks 100 times faster that previous algorithms. When creating so-called "social graphs" – the visualisation of interactions in social networks – previous systems had to restart the computational process from scratch each time a new edge was inserted into a graph. The new software stores the graph's prior centrality data so that networks can be monitored in real time and new important influencers can be determined instantly.

FINDING OUT HOW COMPETITORS RANKLinkDetective is an analysis tool that helps website operators to find out how other sites attain their ranking on search engines. This is now made easier to understand as LinkDetective examines data via links that lead to these sites and displays the results in statistical charts. Users can then see clearly if links come from comments, blog entries or other types of websites. It's then possible for users to compare their own rankings in percentages and thus work out how much weight and importance can be attached to certain links.

GOOGLE GLASS USED FOR FASHION DOCUMENTARY The fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg has used Google Glass technology, which enables videos to be made from a person's own perspective, during her show at the New York Fashion Week, and made a documentary about the creative process in the fashion industry from the recordings made. The glasses were worn by the models, the label's own staff and Diane von Fürstenberg herself. One week later, the project appeared on the designer's Google+ page.

"FANCAM" FILMS STADIUM IN HIGH-DEFINITIONJust before the beginning of a football match involving the Denver Broncos, the U.S. Bank created a 360-degree image of the field and the seats so that fans could look for themselves online after the game on the "FANCAM" website. The spectators had to take their seats ten minutes before kick-off because the ultra high-definition recording with 20,000 megapixels needed a total of seven minutes. During the following 24 hours, people could look for themselves or their friends in the crowd, tag the images and share them by e-mail or on Facebook and Twitter.

DANCING QUADROCOPTERSAn air show involving 50 quadrocopters was recently staged in Linz, Austria, as part of the "voestalpine Klangwolke" multimedia music festival. The choreographed show was achieved through a collaboration involving Ascending Technologies and the Ars Electronica Future Lab. AscTec Hummingbird quadrocopters were fitted with LEDs, receivers and modified firmware, and controlled by computers. As a symbol of digital interplay, the shining quadrocopters danced across the evening sky and impressed all the onlookers with their formations.

CROWDFUNDING FOR LIVE CONCERTSThe start-up Queremos from Rio de Janeiro wants to raise the number of concerts in the city and uses crowdfunding to guarantee musicians and bands successful shows. As it's quite common in Rio for people to arrange their evenings spontaneously and buy tickets for gigs on the door, many foreign bands avoid playing there in case the shows sell badly. This platform now allows users to offer money in advance for concerts they want to see. Once the minimum amount of money is reached, the concert is planned and the band will travel to the gig.

FOOTBALL COLLECTS DONORSThe "Ludo" from Unchartered Play is a football that converts the amount of time played into points that can, in turn, be used by players to support social projects. It features an integrated chip that recognises when the ball is in motion. This time is recorded and then wirelessly updated to the "Play Fund" platform. Users log in and select a project to donate their money to. The donations come partly from the price of the ball – approx. $60 – and partly from the participating companies.

BUILDING PROJECTS WITH MINECRAFTIn a cooperation between the United Nations and the inventor of the Lego-like game Minecraft, it was recently announced that the free-form building game is inviting players to help redesign real-world locations around the world. The simple game from Minecraft enables anyone to become an amateur architect by piling up building blocks – even on old and slow computers. The first area to be redesigned is the Undugu playground in Nairobi, Kenya.

RUBBISH BINS CHARGE USERS FOR WASTESome 6,000 intelligent rubbish bins are being deployed in the Netherlands, which contain RFID chips and can only be opened by presenting a corresponding ID card. The quantity of rubbish is then used to calculate the customer's bill, although things going into the recycling pile are free. As soon as the bins are full, they use their embedded phone to call up a truck, thereby reducing the overall distance trucks have to drive.

Mobile card payment via smartphoneINTERVIEW WITH iZETTLE ABOUT MOBILE PAYMENT DEVELOPMENTS
The payment sector has long been seen as one of the most promising segments of e-commerce. With its mobile payment solution, the Swedish company iZettle has established itself on the German market. We spoke to Wilhelmina Douglas of iZettle:
You define yourselves as a social payment company. What do you mean by this term?
“There are two social elements to our service: We enable small businesses and individuals to make payments in all kinds of social situations. Whether it’s paying your plumber or settling a debt with a friend.
We also give you the option of sharing your purchases on Facebook. If you’ve bought a great pair of shoes at a market stall, why not share your iZettle receipt with your friends? You can also include a picture of the shoes. You choose whether you post the amount you paid.”
We are discovering more and more trends in the P2P economy. How promising is the potential of iZettle with regard to it being used by private individuals in this market?
“The potential in the P2P market is huge. iZettle is designed for individuals who are rapidly abandoning cash, and would prefer to settle restaurant bills or casual sporting wagers between friends without having to run to a cash point. A necessity for individuals wanting to go cashless is an alternative to cash. Today the most established cashless alternative is credit and debit cards. Considering the fact that individuals have not been able to accept card payments before - but have instead had to resort to cash, checks and invoices – this is definitely a huge step forward for payments in general, and without compromising security. As iZettle has been proven to drastically increase the number of card acceptance places in the market, we’d definitely say iZettle is helping a society go cashless.”
More information on how it works and free registration is available at www.izettle.com
