I saw a huge black high-heeled shoe (69, -135) rising from the ground. The upper has been dotted with striped stripes of homosexual purple. The back heel was a tall and sturdy cylinder. The center of gravity of the entire building rested on this column. on. Perhaps it had been worried about the stability from the column. A elegant woman leaned back slightly, supported the very best from the back heel with her fingers, and leaned her body within the column. Who can stand it!

Sure enough, I can appear far away and not have fun with with it. Since it has been so dull, I appreciated it a large number of instances, and left with guilt at the goddess.

After a tiring day, I wish to find a place to sleep. I heard how the depths of Taoyuan at (59, -66) are a good resort. The peach blossoms within the human face reflect the red, especially the large green on the floor that makes me feel particularly comfortable.

There are lots of "coming in contact with" insects in both the screen and the knowledge. The interactivity of the game is slightly rough. A lot more than 99% from the moments, buildings, and objects cannot directly connect to the player. The physics engine is quite rudimentary, & most from the gameplay is performed through extremely simple program logic. At present, the number of people on the internet at exactly the same time shouldn't exceed 200, as well as the launching speed of many moments has encountered problems, as well as the performance problems when several people are on a single screen are worrying (at most we have encountered 3 people using one screen). In terms of social functions, there is currently nothing but public channel chat.

1Keys: How I Made a Piano in Only 1KB of JavaScript — A month ago we promoted JS1024, a contest to build the coolest thing possible in just 1024 bytes of JavaScript. It’s well worth looking at all the winners/results, but one winner has put together a fantastic writeup of how he went about the task. If this genius seems familiar, he also did a writeup about implementing a 3D racing game in 2KB of JavaScript recently, and more besides.

What was most popular the last time the Chiefs and 49ers won a Super Bowl

The last two times these two won the Lombardi Trophy, things were pretty different.

It’s been quite a long time since the Kansas City Chiefs won a Super Bowl. In fact, it’s been a whole 50 years — the Chiefs won Super Bowl IV in the 1969 season. Kansas City had the fourth-longest active drought without a Super Bowl appearance until it earned a bid this season.

The San Francisco 49ers, on the other hand, have won a championship more recently. Their last Super Bowl win came in the 1994 season, when the Steve Young-led 49ers defeated the San Diego Chargers in Miami.

This year’s Super Bowl is also in Miami, but that’s about all that remains the same. A lot has changed in the world since the last time these two won championships.

Let’s take a look at what was happening in sports, TV, movies, pop culture, and technology the last time the Chiefs and 49ers won the Super Bowl.

1969 vs. 1994 in sports

1969

The New York Mets won the World Series, 4-1, over the Baltimore Orioles. Nicknamed the “Amazin Mets,” the victory was one of the biggest upsets in World Series history. The Mets it had a losing season each year before that.

The Boston Celtics were the NBA champions, as they defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games. We saw the Celtics-Lakers rivalry heat up during this decade, and the two played in the finals six times — Boston won them all.

In college football, the Texas Longhorns won the national title, beating Notre Dame, 21-17, in the Cotton Bowl, and thus, Texas was truly back. What’s also interesting about this season is after the Longhorns defeated No. 2 Arkansas in December earlier that season, President Richard Nixon presented Texas with a plaque claiming the Longhorns to be the No. 1 team in the land.

1994

Major League Baseball strike: 1994 was a chaotic year for the MLB. Owners wanting to implement salary caps led to a players’ strike in August. It didn’t end for 232 days, the longest stoppage in MLB history, and there was no World Series. The strike cost management close to $1 billion, and players lost millions. It effectively ended Michael Jordan and Bo Jackson’s MLB careers, too.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers won the college football national championship by beating then-No. 1 Miami in the Orange Bowl. It marked head coach Tom Osborne’s first national title, though he’d go on to win two more in the 90s.

The Houston Rockets won their first-ever NBA championship, taking the seven-game series against the New York Knicks.

The O.J. Simpson chase: During Game 5 of Knicks-Rockets, NBC’s telecast was interrupted for the police chase of Simpson in his white Bronco:

Tonya Harding won the U.S. Figure Skating Championship. As you probably know, that was before she was later stripped of her title for her role in the attack on her competitor, Nancy Kerrigan, which happened that same year.

1969 vs. 1994 in music

1969

The Billboard No. 1 song in 1969 was “Sugar, Sugar,” by a cartoon band named The Archies, from the animated TV show The Archie Show. Yes, this is incredibly weird to me, too.

youtube

Other big hits during this year included “Honky Tonk Women” by the Rolling Stones, “Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In” by the 5th Dimension, and “I Can’t Get Next To You” by the Temptations.

The Woodstock music festival was held in August 1969. More than 400,000 people gathered on a farm in New York to see artists like Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The Grateful Dead, and Janis Joplin.

The festival is known as one of the biggest and most important music events in history, lasting four days (it was originally supposed to be only three) while heavy rains caused delays of several acts.

The Beatles recorded their final album together, Abbey Road, which included classics like “Here Comes the Sun” and “Come Together.” That year, the group gave its final live performance, which took place on the roof of Apple Records.

1994

The No. 1 Billboard single for 1994 was “The Sign” by Ace of Base, which was the title track of the Swedish group’s debut album. This one was an absolute banger:

youtube

Other hits like “Don’t Turn Around” and “All That She Wants” were on this album.

Some other popular songs from this year included Sheryl Crow’s “All I Wanna Do,” and Boyz II Men’s “I’ll Make Love To You.” This year Mariah Carey released her Christmas album, which is the greatest holiday album in history. I’m not 100 percent sure about that fact, but I’m right, OK? Hootie and the Blowfish’s Cracked Rearview Mirror album was released, though it became more popular the following year in 1995.

This was a pretty big year for debuting artists. Some of the more notable ones, to name a few: Weezer, Outkast, Beck, Notorious B.I.G., and Oasis.

Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain sadly died in April 1994.

1969 vs. 1994 world events

1969

One of the biggest moments in both the U.S. and the world history was the Apollo 11 mission, which successfully put the first-ever man on the moon. The mission, led by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, launched on July 11, 1969, and landed on the moon on July 20.

On July 18, 1969, U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy drove his car off of a bridge in Chappaquiddick, which resulted in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, a former campaign worker of Robert Kennedy’s. Although the news made headlines in the beginning, it ultimately was largely overshadowed by the Apollo 11.

President Richard Nixon was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 1969, for his first term.

On Dec. 1, 1969, a draft lottery was reinstated, for the Vietnam War. It was the first since World War II.

1994

Bill Clinton was sued for sexual harassment by Paula Jones while serving his first term as the President of the United States. The accusations Jones brought forward were allegedly from when Clinton was the governor of Arkansas in 1991. Judges allowed Clinton to avoid trial for the lawsuit until after he left office. Jones later settled her lawsuit in November 1998 after Clinton won the 1996 election.

The Republicans took control of the House of Representatives after Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America. Before Republicans took control. Gingrich signed the contract which laid out legislation that would be passed within the first 100 days of Congress.

Nelson Mandela was elected as South African’s president, in the country’s first-ever democratic election. The elections marked the end of apartheid in South Africa, and Mandela later established a commission to investigate human rights and political violations that happened during apartheid. Beyond his time in office, which lasted until 1999, Mandela is considered to be one of the greatest champions of peace and social justice, both in South Africa and around the world.

1969 vs. 1994 television and movies

1969

The No. 1 grossing movie was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford. It later won four Oscars, including for Best Original Screenplay.

The children’s television show Sesame Street debuted on PBS in 1969. Sesame Street is still airing new episodes on TV to this day!

Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In was the most-watched TV show, a sketch comedy show hosted by comedians Dan Rowan and Dick Martin. The show featured actresses like Lily Tomlin and Goldie Hawn as performers, too.

1994

Seinfeld was the most-watched television show, while Friends and ER premiered this year. Nearly 22 million people watched the Friends premiere, and ER had over 23 million viewers. All three shows were the anchors of NBC’s Must-See TV lineup.

Disney’s The Lion King was the top-grossing movie that year, and other greats like Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, and Pulp Fiction were released.

Frasier won its first Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series. It went on to win 112 Emmys until it last aired in 2004.

1969 vs. 1994 celebrities

1969

Celebrities born this year included: Brett Favre, Renee Zellweger, Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd (who’s a huge Chiefs fan), and Jennifer Lopez, who coincidentally is performing the halftime show at Super Bowl LIV.

Dwight D. Eisenhower and Judy Garland passed away. Eisenhower died of congestive heart failure. Garland was just 47 when she died of a barbiturates overdose.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney both got married this year, McCartney to Linda until her death in 1998, and Lennon to Yoko Ono until his assassination in 1980.

1994

Lisa Marie Presley married Michael Jackson. The marriage lasted two years before the couple filed for divorce.

Time to feel old! Celebrities born this year include Justin Bieber, Harry Styles, Dakota Fanning, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Joel Embiid.

Richard Nixon and Jackie Kennedy both passed away. Nixon was 81, and he died after suffering a stroke. Jackie O passed away of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at just 64 years old.

Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley divorced after 10 years of marriage. Brinkley was said to have partially inspired Joel’s hit “Uptown Girl.”

1969 vs. 1994 Technology

1969

The first-ever ATM was installed in the U.S.: On Sept. 2, 1969, the ATM became available to the public at Chemical Bank in Rockville Center, New York.

This one could only give customers cash, though more ATM advancements came soon after.

Televisions looked a lot different!

youtube

On July 3, 1969, the internet’s first message was sent from UCLA: Two machines on campus that were linked together through ARPANET. There was an attempt to send “login” over the network to a group of Stanford students, but the program crashed after “l” was typed in.

1994

DirecTV’s first satellite digital television service launched. That year, there were just 320,000 subscribers.

Something called “Netscape Navigator” was the leading web browser at the time. I am 27 years old, and have no idea what this thing is:

The IBM Simon debuted as the first-ever “smartphone” for sale: Thank God we have iPhones now.

Via Microsoft

There have been many changes in the 25 years since the 49ers last won a Super Bowl, and in the 25 years before that, when the Chiefs last earned the Lombardi Trophy. Fans of both teams are hoping they won’t have to wait as long to see them play in the Super Bowl again. But if they do, one thing’s for sure: the world will look a lot different.

Information off-web page and on-website online retargeting before we strive to recognize remarketing vs retargeting, let us recognize off-website retargeting vs on-website retargeting.

On-web page concentrated on retargeting has the very best roi in advertising as it usually invests in people who are already curious. Remarketing is retargeting interested humans via electronic mail rather than ads thru cookies. Why is this new fancy phrase with simplest a moderate distinction from ‘retargeting’ applicable in any respect? It's miles critical because electronic mail is an vital route to capture humans. Remarketing there Digital Marketing Agency in Denver are hundreds of human beings on the internet who make purchases on-line but don't have any social media or do no longer just like the intrusive nature of google adwords.

WeChat: China’s Integrated Internet User Experience

The big Internet companies of the Western world have proclaimed “conversational user interfaces” and chatbots to be the Next Big Thing, with major initiatives led by Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft. Even Taco Bell has a “TacoBot,” a service that allows users to order and customize their tacos using a natural-language UI.

Much of this hype stems from angst generated by the success of the Chinese WeChat service, which had 700 million users as of April 2016. WeChat has been touted as the poster child for conversational user interfaces. In this article, we report on user research we did in China with WeChat users. The study aimed to uncover practices in which WeChat users engaged, as well as why and in which cases its users preferred to use WeChat instead of regular mobile websites and apps.

WeChat: All You Want in One Place

As the name implies, WeChat started as a mobile instant-messaging (IM) app, launched by Tencent in 2011. However, WeChat quickly added other features; today, it is no longer primarily an IM application, but it also includes:

A payment service. 200 million users have connected their bank accounts to WeChat. This capability allows person-to-person money transfer, including 8 billion “red packets” (so called because gifts of lucky money were traditionally given in red envelopes) sent during the 2016 Chinese New Year celebrations, as well as easy payments to either online or real-world businesses.

A platform for companies’ online presence, with 10 million “official accounts.” Official accounts are WeChat-supported mini-websites that are easy to establish and especially convenient for small businesses, compared with the high-tech skills needed to build and maintain an interactive website.

An ecommerce platform, which is particularly convenient because it’s integrated with the payment service.

Social networking. The “Moments” feature is somewhat like a Facebook wall where friends can post messages in different formats (e.g., text, audio, pictures, stickers, videos). Furthermore, message dialogues allow users to interchange text, audio, pictures, stickers, short videos that are taken within WeChat, links, contact cards, and documents.

Other social services, such as “people nearby.”

Games.

A broad range of 3rd party services. Examples include ordering a taxi, booking train and airline tickets, buying movie tickets, and paying utility bills.

Integration with the physical world. QR scanning is widely used to quickly access WeChat official accounts, and exchange information (for example, contact information). There are even plush toys that connect to WeChat.

The Mon Mon plush toy for little children to interchange voice messages with their parents’ WeChat accounts. (Still from advertisement created by the vendor, the Chinese toy company Dan Dan Man.)

In total, more than a third of the time spent by Chinese users on mobile is on WeChat. No wonder Western companies want to get in on the action.

However, the key UX advantage of WeChat is not that it grew out of a chat service; it’s the integrated user experience. Each individual service is fine, but not necessarily better than those offered by other companies. In fact, our user testing of WeChat revealed many usability problems in various areas. What’s superior is how these services play together and reinforce each other. Most importantly, these benefits are not the result of a superior, simple conversational UI; instead, they are often provided through a simplified graphical user interface (GUI).

WeChat is similar with a megaportal providing access to a huge number of services. It’s almost a parallel, alternate web, whose explosive evolution seems to be rooted in two different aspects:

A huge initial adoption of the IM service and, later, of the payment ability

The scarcity of mobile-optimized sites and services on the Chinese web

The first aspect led to widespread adoption and provided a convenient substitute for credit cards (a less common method of payment in China); the second provided one (and often the only) convenient way of online access to a business or a service.

We asked our Chinese research participants to draw their mental models of WeChat, and as shown in the following examples, many of them considered the smooth payment service and the official accounts more central than that the chat service.

Mental models of WeChat, as drawn by two of our study participants.

User Research

We conducted two rounds of user research in China:

A diary study, in which 12 participants logged their WeChat use for 7 days:

Users sent us a WeChat message each time they used a special WeChat functionality.

Users also completed two questionnaires at the end of each day: one about their use of basic WeChat features and one about their use of special WeChat features. Basic features were defined as messages and chat with friends, checking Moments (the Facebook-wall equivalent), and reading articles published by official accounts. All other activities were considered special features; these included interacting with official accounts, posting to Moments, using payments, scanning QR codes, and shopping.

A usability test, using the thinking-aloud method, where 14 participants used WeChat and other mobile apps to perform representative tasks during 90-minute sessions. At the end of these sessions, most users sketched their mental models of WeChat.

About half of the users were in Beijing (one of China’s advanced “tier-1” cities, with 21 million inhabitants) and the other half were in Tangshan (a smaller and more traditional industrial “tier-3” city, with 7 million inhabitants). The specific location doesn’t usually matter for usability testing, but, in this case, market research suggests that WeChat penetration varies in different parts of China: 93% market penetration in tier-1 cities vs. 43% in tier-3 cities. Local services (e.g., offline businesses using WeChat official accounts and payment tools) also differ in these two types of cities.

About half the study participants owned iPhones and the other half owned Android phones.

Here are some examples of usability-testing tasks (translated into English):

You are planning a trip to Beidaihe next Tuesday. Use WeChat to find what train tickets are available.

Use WeChat to check how crowded it is now at Sanlitun.

Your friend recommended “Jacky’s Crawfish.” Order some crawfish, and have it delivered to our testing location. Please stop before just before completing the purchase.

WeChat Payments Rule

In the diary study, fully 32% of all recorded WeChat activities were payments, confirming this service’s central role in WeChat. On average, during the 7-day diary, each participant made 6 payments — about one per day. The majority of the payments were directed towards offline businesses or physical persons, and actual ecommerce payments were in the minority.

Recipients of WeChat payments made by our study participants.

The main reason for the popularity of the WeChat payment service was its smooth user experience and its ability to cut across channels and across the business/social divide. As one study participant said, “When I am paying with WeChat, I only need to take my phone out — no bank card, no signatures, no cash, no change — so convenient!”

The next two major uses of WeChat were Moments (the Facebook equivalent) with 16% of use and official accounts (miniwebsites hosted by WeChat) with 10% of use. The many other WeChat features accounted for the remaining interactions and thus summed to 42% percent of the overall use.

Integration and Consistency of User Experience

What makes WeChat superior is its integration: many features that all work together and build on each other. Once users subscribe to an official account, they can receive content pushed by that account. They can also access the WeChat page of that account and find more relevant information about the company or read associated pieces of content. They can purchase products or send money to the company. Thus, subscribing to an account opens up a world of interaction possibilities with that company, all strongly tied into WeChat.

Palace Museum account: The user can select one of the tabs at the bottom of the screen to interact with the Palace Museum (top left). Each tab opens up a submenu (top middle). A list of articles about the Palace Museum accessed through one of the menu options (top right). A WeChat “webpage” for the Palace Museum can be accessed through another one of the menus (bottom). (Note, however, that the Palace Museum’s webpage accessed through a regular mobile browser is actually not mobile optimized.)

These WeChat services are often not available through other mobile channels — for example, the Palace Museum does not have a mobile-optimized website available through a mobile browser. Thus, many users will prefer to interact with a company through the consistent and relatively predictable WeChat interface instead of risking to go to a different channel and have an inferior user experience.

The Palace Museum website as accessed through a mobile browser is not mobile optimized.

For companies, WeChat is an inexpensive way to ensure a presence on mobile; that presence has the advantage of offering a standardized, consistent user experience. Users are likely to succeed when engaging with an official account because most of them look the same — they are the equivalent of websites designed according to the same design pattern. The interaction is thus easy to learn and is made of the same WeChat supported building blocks that people are already familiar with from countless previous interactions with other companies.

WeChat vs. Traditional Websites

Although the mobile web is perhaps not as strong in China at this point (with many sites not having mobile versions), it is most likely that WeChat and regular websites will continue to coexist because they each have advantages and disadvantages. Our users didn’t expect the WeChat official accounts to cover all their needs, but they saw them as an easy way to access commonly used features.

Our users said that they preferred using companies’ official accounts on WeChat for several reasons:

Ease of access. WeChat is the primary QR-scanning application, freeing users from typing which has high interaction cost on mobile phones and is particularly unpleasant for older users.

Ease of interaction. As discussed above, it is easier to interact with an official account — you know where to click and how to use it because they all share the same basic interaction style.

Access to small businesses. Many such business (e.g., a fruit shop, handcraft, interest-based organizations) are unlikely to invest in a real website.

Special discounts. Followers of a WeChat account often receive promotions or exclusive campaigns.

Up-to-date information. There’s obviously no fundamental reason why a company’s website could not be kept as current as an official account, but users’ perception was that websites were more static, whereas WeChat accounts were updated more frequently.

While WeChat official accounts have their benefits, users continued to use traditional websites in parallel with WeChat, for several reasons:

More complex functionality, beyond the simple WeChat-supported UI

Spam: Too many articles pushed by WeChat official accounts can easily become annoying, even for followers of those accounts. Some abuse users’ trust and flood them with ads.

Closed system: WeChat excludes access to frequently used services such as Taobao (a major ecommerce site) and important music providers.

Impaired findability: Often different accounts will have similar names, and some of them may belong to a legit company and others may be fake and trying to impersonate that company. To make things worse, the same company may have different WeChat accounts, and the accounts themselves may be of different types (service accounts vs. subscription accounts) with different capabilities (service accounts will support payments, while subscription accounts won’t). Finding the right account can thus be challenging for users.

Trust issues: Some articles on WeChat spread fake information.

WeChat search results for Palace Museum (left) and for Xuxian, the fruit business (right). Checkmarks indicate that the account is verified by WeChat. But these verification checkmarks do not help identify the desired account, because many verified results may actually be returned. Some of these results will belong to the same company but will have different functionalities, and some will belong to a fake company that may take advantage of a better-known brand’s name. Users can differentiate companies by clicking on their introduction page or checking their messaging history, but these operations are time consuming.

Some of these problems are similar to those faced by users of traditional search engines, whereas others are unique to WeChat, especially the peculiar distinction between subscription and service accounts, which breaks the integrated model of the service and seems to be a legacy of WeChat’s history.

WeChat Usability Problems

Our user testing revealed plenty of usability problems in WeChat and the various official accounts we tested. This is no surprise, since the perfect user interface hasn’t been built yet, but should come as a warning to those technology enthusiasts who believe that simply moving to a new platform or embracing a new interaction style will result in great user experience. On the contrary: any design will still need polishing and adaptation to users’ real needs, as opposed to companies’ internal hopes for what their customers will do. We’ll just give two examples here.

Team Maker allows users to define group events. The setup screen requires users to enter a name for the new event, but 10 of 14 study participants overlooked this field and went straight for the second field (denoted by a clock icon) to enter the time of the event.

Team Maker’s official account: The top field had the instructions “Event Title (Required),” but it was overlooked by most test users.

Several design issues combined to cause this problem:

Banner blindness possibly made users overlook the top field because of the graphic.

The prompt was shown as a placeholder text within the field, which is less noticeable than a separate field label.

That field was not aligned with the other fields in the form, and thus looked as if it was not part of a form, but rather a static title.

The activity title prompt was shown in low-contrast text, especially compared with the brighter text used for the time field.

Users may have had a selfish-action bias, preferring fields related to their own needs (the time of the group meeting) over fields related to system needs (the title).

City Heatmap is a WeChat feature that indicates how crowded a given location was. This feature is available under Wallet → Public Services → City Heatmap. Our users had great difficulty finding it. This navigational path was simply not expected, and suffered from a convoluted information architecture and problematic naming with poor information scent.

Such issues are not special to WeChat and we’ve seen them many times in usability studies. New platforms have old usability issues, because the main determinant of usability is the human mind and people’s needs, not technology.

Text-Based Interaction Gets Limited Use

WeChat supports two different types of interaction with an account:

Text-based: Users can text a number or a keyword to a service account and receive an IM reply from that account. (The reply can be automatic or can be generated by a customer-service representative in charge with responding to WeChat queries).

Menu/link based: Users can select a link embedded in a text message or they can use the menu buttons available on official-account interfaces and in the chat window.

Sometimes all these interaction methods were available for an account, but in other situations only the more basic text interface was supported.

Palace Museum’s official account: users can interact with this account either by texting back one of the numbers 0–6, or by tapping the GUI menu button in the bottom left corner of the screen and selecting some of the available options. On some pages (but not in this case), the numeric options inside the text message are themselves tappable links. (In fact, many of our test participants tried to tap the options inside the message and were disappointed when that action did not produce any result.)

In our diary study and in the usability-testing sessions, we noticed only limited use of the text interface. In particular, some users texted back a number in response to a first message received after subscribing to a service account. They also occasionally texted back a keyword hoping to get back matching search results from that company. However, most users much preferred a menu-based interaction over the more effortful text-based interaction. Whenever the bottom menu was available for a service account, users relied on it, as a more expedient way to interact with the company. They also attempted to tap on the numerical options displayed in the chat message as an even faster way to make a choice.

Our initial interest in WeChat was to better understand conversational text interfaces. The appeal of such natural-language interfaces is that they supposedly allow users to simply express their goal and then sit back, while letting the site do all the work for them. No clicks or taps are involved once the initial query has been formulated, so in a sense, such interfaces have the potential of getting closer to the holy grail of usability — zero interaction cost. (Such interfaces do assume that users will be able to formulate a goal — an assumption that does not always hold, because users do not always know the search space well enough.)

We did not find evidence for sophisticated natural-language understanding in WeChat. (Those human-staffed official accounts that reply to individual user queries are definitely not scalable in the long run and were not the norm in our study.) Instead of a true conversational text interface, we discovered a system that warrants the interest of an evolutionary web scientist for the way in which it mimics the evolution of the mobile web — a world in which historic, simple interaction such as the numeric-menu selection and keyword-input coexist with more sophisticated menu-based interfaces or GUIs. These latter methods are newer and often preferred by WeChat users for their lower interaction cost, yet, at this point, they have not yet completely erased the chat-box interface.

Conclusion: WeChat Integration Builds Convenience

If conversational interfaces are not a strength of WeChat, what is the secret behind its success? When we asked our users for their top likes about WeChat, the most frequently mentioned attribute was convenience.

WeChat shines in several ways that build convenience:

A wide variety of services and features

Integration of these features among themselves and, especially in the case of WeChat payment and QR codes, with the physical world

Simple, consistent interaction that stays the same across different official accounts — in marked contrast to the diversity of user interface techniques that plague websites

Integration and simplicity are especially important because WeChat is mainly a mobile service. User interfaces are more difficult to use on mobile devices because of their screen-size limitations and error-prone touch input. A simple interaction style that provides a seamless omnichannel customer journey is essential for mobile designs.

Different usability aspects of WeChat were cited as major positives (second most common after convenience) and as major negatives by our study participants. No UI is completely good or completely bad in terms of usability, and while this interface had many good parts, there were others that definitely needed improvement.

Our study participants’ likes and dislikes about WeChat.

The interplay between usability and convenience points to one of the major contrasts in our field — that between usability and user experience (UX). While usability applies to well-designed user interfaces (UIs), usability is not enough for a good UX. Users need useful features that address their real needs instead of their imaginary ones. When a system is convenient, it goes beyond usability and succeeds in being useful and simplifying a previously complicated task.

WeChat does all of this, and that’s why it’s successful. Not because it grew out of a chat site or originally used a conversational user interface.

The Men Who Built 21st Century America

By Derek Glausser, University of Pittsburgh Class of 2021

June 6, 2019

For every additional two day delivery on Amazon, and for every new member on Facebook; their owners inch closer to the titans of industry that encapsulated the Gilded Age. While their companies reach to a level better suited as a small government rather then that of a tech start-up from a garage or a dorm room. But at what point do these monolithic successes pass the line of celebration and walk into the eye of those with a similar prescription to that of John Sherman? Sherman encountered similar entities emerging and warranting action through law in the late 1800s. The creation of the Sherman Act was the first avenue of legal recourse in the United States for stopping monopolies. The definition set into law being; “[e]very contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal” [1]. However this act didn’t reciprocate complete clarity in the specifics of what types of actions by companies were illegal in the name of competition, and is why the Clayton Anti-trust Act was a necessary addition in 1914.

One of the most notable uses of the Sherman act came shortly after its enactment, in 1911 the U.S. government brought suit against Standard Oil Company. Ordering the trust to devolve into 33 different companies. The backing for the lawsuit other than the acts allowing them to, was a deeper concern with their economic power becoming excessive and its influence on the economy being far wider spread than just the oil industry [2]. The industries of technology and oil have similar characteristic in the sense of their products are used in every aspect of every industry. Oil is the blood of the economy, and computers and software are the brain. Oil makes the car run, while the GPS tells the driver where to go.

The comparison is an important distinction because many get lost in the persona of tech companies always being on the forefront of innovation and unable to stifle competition. The comparison furthers when looking into how Standard Oil used vertical and horizontal mergers to maximize economies of scale and have the ability to offer prices that were impossible to compete with. Amazon has used their forward thinking business model to do the same thing, but with different mechanisms. This being the cloud computing aspect of their business that sells access to their servers, storage, and databases, to other companies and which comprises a majority of their profits [3]. This alternate revenue source allows Amazon to worry less about the margins of individual profits and more about the general retention of their customers. While this seems to be a possible example of predatory pricing, a price being too low to compete. The FTC website sheds lights on the problems associated with these types of matters, “FTC examines claims of predatory pricing carefully, courts, including the Supreme Court, have been skeptical of such claims”, it is a hard legal case to win since it is somewhat subjective to determine when a price crosses the point of being competitive to predatory [4].

Whether or not the practices of these companies push them into the realm of a monopoly is not the purpose of this article, but to analyze the grievances voiced against these companies and how a lawsuit could be used to break them up, as in the aforementioned Standard Oil case. While there are many similarities between Big Tech and the oil and steel empires of the 19th century, the structure of the businesses are incredibly different and may cause issues when trying to utilize existing anti-trust laws.

The major question that needs to be the forefront of the case research is wether the company can be consider a coercive[1] or a natural[2] monopoly. The difference determines the correct response of law; a natural monopoly achieves that level through innovation and superior products which is legal, while coercive ones achieve it through predatory or exclusionary acts which then make it illegal. [5]. A good base for constructing this legal argument would be to use The Microsoft Case as an example, since it is the most relevant use of the anti-trust laws to these type of businesses. For example, Microsoft had immense market share of the software systems for personal computers, while also possessing Internet Explorer which was used together to reinforced each others market share through actions that made it hard to compete and or discouraged competition through free rebates, and purposeful compatibility problems with outside software.

The first layer of the case should focus on proving that Amazon is a monopoly in the first place. Which can be done through statistics, such as Amazon having 49.1% of all e-commerce sales [6]. Then lead into how Amazon owning the marketplace, while also participating in the marketplace creates a conflict of interest with allowing competition from other sellers. Since they are able to and have created Amazon generic brand based off data received through the buying and selling of similar products on their site. In addition to their customer loyalty program known as Amazon Prime, which allows Amazon to have a competitive advantage over competing products, since it allows for Amazon products to take the for front in advertising and the offering of free day two shipping can discourage users from buying non-amazon products either do to convenience or not seeing an alternative.

The second aspect adds on the first layer is how Amazon’s Web Service (AWS), allows Amazon the possibility to sell products at a loss in order to drive others out of business. Since a large bulk of profits come from AWS the losses consumed in the e-commerce side of the business can be offset. Regardless if Amazon is currently doing this or not is not important, because the AT&T case sets a past precedent that shows if a company merely posses the ability to fix prices unfairly, or too fairly for the consumer it can warrant a break up, as shown by Ronald Regan[3].

The third aspect and most important is finding evidence that separates the theoretical coercive Amazon monopoly from a natural monopoly. Which can be found through analyzing the interactions between the government and Amazon. A major defining event that shows Amazon is unfairly aided by the government, can be seen through the bidding war for Amazon’s HQ2 hunt, which pinned state governments against each other to offer the best incentive to move to their city or state. Mainly in the form of tax breaks, for New York this means giving Amazon 3 billion in subsidies [7].

If the court rules in favor of the evidence provided and indicting Amazon of being a coercive monopoly, the most logical fix would be the separation of Amazon’s marketplace, generic product production, and the Web Service into 3 separate businesses. If the court rules in favor of Amazon not being a monopoly, the outcome is equally important because the act of asking the question is the law doing its due diligence thought examining possible infringements on consumer protections and the safeguard of fair competition. The importance of oversight from the law can be seen in our ability to ask this question at all, which was made possible by Microsoft[4] being ruled a monopoly in 1998, giving root to the possibility for companies like Amazon and Facebook to be created in the first place [8].

[1] coercive monopoly- when a firm is able to operate at any price or production level without risk of competition, often aided or backed by government

[2] natural monopoly- where the nature of the good or service being supplied makes it more economically efficient for there to be a sole provider, and where high barriers are not enforced through coercion.

[3] At the beginning of 1984, AT&T was broken into seven regional operating companies: Ameritech, Bell Atlantic, Bell South, NYNEX, Pacific Telesis, Southwestern Bell and U.S. West

[4] U.S. VS. MICROSOFT: 1998 antitrust suit filed by the department of justice against Microsoft bundling additional programs into its operating system as anticompetitive and therefore a monopoly. Although measures to break up the company were planned, they were never instituted due to “old fashioned” competition eroding some of their market share. Since it was the dawn of the all consuming internet age; the concentrated market power that Microsoft had through its software and internet browser without any restraint could have forced all future tech companies like Amazon to be at the will of Microsoft.

Catching up: 30 years of the web, privacy according to FB, T&Cs and a view beneath the ocean

30 years of the web – something worth celebrating! Naturally, it’s top of the bill in this edition of “Catching up”.

Flashback

Yes, it’s already 30 years since the web entered our lives. Since 1989, this network of interconnected pages (not to be confused with the Internet, the network of networks) has witnessed the arrival, and sometimes departure, of a myriad of services and technologies: Yahoo, AOL, Firefox, IE, and all the others… The major dates in its development are everywhere, on the web in fact. But if you weren’t there (nudge to generations Y and Z), how can you appreciate the incredible growth of this medium? The global Web Archives platform has backed up more than 349 billion pages… The CERN, where it all began, pays a superb tribute to the web by allowing you to surf on a copy of the first ever browser! It’s a shock to the system to say the least! But at the age of 30, does today’s web even vaguely resemble what its inventor first imagined? Tim Berners-Lee, now president of the W3C, gives a mixed response when he looks back at the development of his creation – to some extent deformed, undermined by attacks, censored or diverted to the benefit of certain regimes. Berners-Lee refuses to believe that the evolution of the web is over – stating that it is not too late to change the Web. The pioneer also believes in a decentralised, anti-silo web that would empower the user. On privacy issues, he explained that people are often unaware of the collective (vs. individual) consequences of the misuse of their personal data, using the example of Cambridge Analytica.

Forgotten by Facebook

Zuckerberg has put on his ‘defence of privacy’ face and is promising users a ‘right to be forgotten’, giving them the option of permanently deleting their messages posted on the platform. It is hard to believe, considering the number of issues surrounding him for last few months. But it is above all his perception of privacy that is worrying. For him, privacy is simply defined between the users of the social platform (which of my friends can see which content) – with zero regard for Facebook’s (sometimes illegal) exploitation of user data. Basically, fake naivety to announce false good news. The social network is reportedly considering merging the messaging of its third-party applications (Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger), for the time being outside any legal framework.

Economising on information

Quantity does not necessarily equate to quality. ‘Less is more’ takes on its full meaning when the overload of information makes us lose all power to make decisions. There are numerous examples of the problems of ‘infobesity’: the dilemma of running away or staying at home when a hurricane is approaching – if the internet and TV weather forecasts said it wasn’t; the fact that factual scientific evidence on the dangers of climate change is not really changing our consumption patterns; even something as simple as the impossibility of choosing a series or film when faced with limitless choice. @scientificamerican is interested in the paradox of choice when too much information paralyses our actions, resulting in total relativism, leading to the absence of decision making.

What we measure is not always useful, especially because anything hidden… is not measured.

Irénée Régnauld (@maisouvaleweb – French tech publication)

Legal by design

It can take hours to read the Terms and Conditions (T&Cs)… Have a look at the I agree project which explains this ongoing issue. Who actually reads the T&Cs these days? We accept the conditions instantly without even understanding them… So how do we go about changing this? By making them more readable and introducing standard icons of course. However, the challenge is to find a visual vocabulary everyone understands. Fortunately, there are numerous initiatives underway, within the framework of GDPR compliance, to improve this!

Companies looking to recruit developers…

…need to be very careful when posting job adverts – no typos in the tech names, a precise job description, limited marketing-speak about the company, salary transparency, etc. The job role is so popular with recruiters that some developers have to hide on professional networks to avoid being hunted down – poor them! I know a few who are looking for developers (and one company in particular) with serious offers and who know how to correctly spell ‘JavaScript’…

The bottom of the ocean

We tend to think that everything on the internet is happening in the cloud. However, in fact it’s beneath the waves.

See you next time on the Internets!

Jurgen Klopp celebrating with the Liverpool supporters after the win over Bayen Munich at the Allianz Arena (Getty Images)When Jurgen Klopp was appointed Liverpool manager back in October 2015, editors across the land were falling over themselves in a bid to shoehorn the words ‘heavy’ ‘metal’ and ‘football’ into their headlines. It was Klopp himself who coined the phrase ‘heavy metal football’ during his time with previous club Borussia Dortmund prior to a Champions League game against Arsenal in November 2013 and it was a soundbite subsequently lapped up by the British media. Discussing the differences between his and Arsene Wenger’s footballing philosophies, Klopp quipped: ‘He likes having the ball, playing football, passes … it’s like an orchestra. But it’s a silent song. I like heavy metal.’ He reiterated his footballing preferences in his very first interview after joining Liverpool, saying: ‘My teams must play at full throttle and take it to the limit every single game.’ Heavy metal or full throttle, the idea was that Klopp would implement a fast-paced style at Liverpool based around the high pressing of spaces (Gegenpressing), quick transitions and creating overloads in attack. Essentially, it was pressing an opponent as soon as a ball was lost, winning it back and then immediately flying forward in numbers. Jurgen Klopp coined the phrase ‘heavy metal football’ before Borussia Dortmund played Arsenal in 2013 (Getty Images)That kind of style was perfectly suited to Dortmund, a club that at the time had a nucleus of exciting young talent with the legs and enthusiasm to carry out such instructions and a partisan home crowd, more than willing to roar them on. Having succeeded there, it is easy to see why Klopp was attracted to Liverpool where the conditions on and off the pitch were similar. Somewhat ironically, the most obvious example of ‘heavy metal football’ during Klopp’s opening months at Anfield, came during a Europa League game against Dortmund. Then managed by Thomas Tuchel, Dortmund were slowly moving away from their former manager’s style towards a more possession-based approach, but Julian Weigl aside it was a squad that had been assembled by Klopp. Dortmund flew out of the traps, racing into a 2-0 lead within nine minutes thanks to future Arsenal teammates Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Divock Origi pulled one back before Marco Reus quickly restored Dortmund’s two-goal advantage. Liverpool needed three goals to progress and they duly came inside the final 25 minutes through Philippe Coutinho, Mamadou Sakho and Dejan Lovren. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser thatsupports HTML5 video It was heavy metal football vs heavy metal football, a playground game masquerading as a European quarter-final. Klopp was unsurprisingly thrilled at the spectacle his current and former clubs had managed to conjure up, saying: ‘That was football at its best, a great game to experience for everyone involved.’ Liverpool’s run to last season’s Champions League final had a similarly full-throttle feel to it. They topped a relatively straightforward group containing Sevilla, CSKA Moscow and Maribor, scoring 23 goals in the process before putting five past each of Porto and Manchester City followed by seven against Roma in the knockout rounds. Prior to the final in Kyiv, Liverpool had already broken the record for the number of goals scored in a single Champions League campaign with an astonishing 46 – including the six they scored against Hoffenheim in the qualifying round of the competition. In Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, they had three players each on 10+ goals, another record. It was ludicrously entertaining football that embodied the style Klopp had talked up on his arrival. Liverpool’s 7-6 aggregate win over Roma encapsulated their top-heavy approach (Getty Images)Nevertheless, there was a sense throughout their exhilarating Champions League run that for all the quality of their attacking play, Liverpool were a touch too top-heavy, as emphasised during their semi-final meeting with Roma. Liverpool were dominant for all but perhaps15 of the 180 minutes, yet only ended up winning it 7-6 on aggregate, itself a ridiculous scoreline at such a stage in the Champions League. Both at home and away, Liverpool invited Roma onto them in the final ten minutes and on each occasion, Roma scored twice. Even when Liverpool seemed in control they had the capacity to fall apart. The same was true in the final when Liverpool were defeated 3-1 by Real Madrid in what was, for the most part, an even contest. Liverpool’s desire to play fast-paced, attacking football at times left them short at the other end of the pitch and their style has been noticeably reigned in a touch throughout the current campaign with a far better balance struck between attack and defence. That has been obvious during a Premier League campaign in which Liverpool have only conceded 17 goals in 30 games and kept 17 clean sheets in total and it was in evidence again in the Champions League last-16 second leg against Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena on Wednesday. A 0-0 draw at Anfield in the first leg left the tie in the balance but Liverpool rarely looked troubled during the return in Munich, as a double from Sadio Mane and a thumping header from Virgil van Dijk handed them a 3-1 victory on the night and on aggregate overall. Sadio Mane and Virgil Van Dijk were on target as Liverpool beat Bayern Munich (Getty Images)Having conceded six over two legs against Roma last term, Liverpool restricted a side containing Robert Lewandowski, James Rodriguez and Franck Ribery to just one and even that was scored by a Liverpool player – Joel Matip turning a cross into his own net. It was a performance that was the polar opposite of that helter-skelter meeting with Dortmund early on in Klopp’s reign. Rather than relentlessly pressing Bayern high up the pitch, Liverpool were happy to sit off them in the opening stages with Bayern enjoying 63% possession and completing 340 passes to their visitors’ 194 in the opening 45 minutes. Despite having more of the ball, though, Bayern barely looked like troubling Liverpool’s backline with the midfield shuffling dutifully across to plug any gaps that emerged. MORE: WORLD How will you celebrate Steak and Bl*wj*b day?''Naked carpenter' jailed after delivering Hermes parcels with his penis hanging outAll of the Brexit vote results since 2015 including the EU ReferendumMane’s opening goal – a wonderful solo effort that left Manuel Neuer seeing stars – gave Liverpool the boon of an away goal and although Bayern managed to find a route back into the game, Liverpool regrouped after the break and delivered a masterful counter-attacking display in the second half. Again, Bayern edged possession, but their use of the ball compared to Liverpool’s was sterile. For their 52% of the ball, Bayern failed to muster a single shot on target, while Liverpool had four. They picked their moments expertly, first capitalising on Bayern’s weakness at set-pieces through Van Dijk and then catching them cold late on when Salah’s brilliant ball was nodded in by Mane. Liverpool have enjoyed some memorable European nights under Klopp reaching two finals in three years, but this was by far the most complete performance they have put together in the Champions League during his time in charge. Klopp celebrating Mane’s second goal with his substitute (Getty Images)It was made abundantly clear during both legs that Bayern are a faded force, yet still, Liverpool dealt with them authoritatively and deserve credit for denying them a quarter-final place for the first time in eight years. No team will fancy meeting Liverpool in the quarters. Before the game, Klopp responded irritably to pundits suggesting that Liverpool should lose to Bayern on purpose so as to free up space in their schedule and focus on the Premier League, the suggestion being that they don’t have sufficient depth to compete for both. Liverpool proceeded to make a mockery of that school of thought with an excellent all-round display. It might not be heavy metal football that Klopp promised but this slightly more orchestral style has better-equipped Liverpool to challenge for major honours.

This week in Android: AI camera shootout, Samsung knows when to fold ’em, and more

AI is coming to our cameras, and we decided to take a look for ourselves and see how it is helping. We took the Huawei P20 Pro, the LG V30S, and the Google Pixel 2 and pitted them against each other, and their respective AIs to see how they measured up.

Not only will we see a folding phone coming from Samsung, but we should be seeing it this year, according to the latest information we have. It comes from the CEO of Samsung, so we think it’s a pretty reliable source. We also took a look at some of the concepts Samsung has created, both in video and in the real world. Which of these will be the form factor we see this fall? We don’t know, but we’re excited to find out!

Finally, we have a ton of news related to Google Chrome’s birthday update, Google’s take on URLs, and OnePlus might be taking the next step by opening a physical store. Add to that our best of IFA 2018 awards, some phone reviews, some phone leaks, and you have yourself a pretty busy week in the world of Android. Check it out below!

Here are your top stories for the week

The Android Authority podcast is sponsored this week by MNML cases. Visit their site today and use the promo code AAPod to get 15% off your order.

02:00 – Does AI matter in the camera? LG V30S vs Huawei P20 Pro vs Google Pixel 2

Editor Robert Triggs takes us through AI photo enhancement in three notable flagship phones. Does scene recognition and AI help?

07:25 – What we know so far about Samsung’s foldable phone

We are about to explore a new frontier of foldable phones and Samsung is leading the charge. Here’s what we know so far.

Samsung CEO: First foldable phone could be unveiled in November

Not only will Samsung be releasing foldable phones, it might be doing so this year, according to its CEO. Find out more here!

15:45 – Chrome celebrates 10 years with great new features in version 69, out now

Google has a few neat features coming out in Chrome 69. Chrome is already the world’s most popular browser, and it just got better!

Google Chrome director: “Everyone is unsatisfied by URLs. They kind of suck.”

Google is looking to redefine how we browse the web in general. The URL is one of the original parts on the internet, and Google wants to change how they work.

ALL-NEW GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #1

A NEW ERA OF COSMIC ADVENTURE BEGINS HERE! Double ships every month! The Guardians of the Galaxy have taken off into space once more, on their biggest and weirdest misadventures yet! Kicking things off with the biggest heist they’ve ever tried, we join Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon and company as they blast their way through the galaxy, the peacekeepers of the Nova Corps hot on their tails. And once they find themselves caught in a war between The Collector and The Grandmaster, there will hardly be time to explain why Groot can’t grow any bigger, what Gamora is searching for or why Drax has sworn off violence! But don’t worry, we will — with a new twice-monthly schedule, All-New Guardians of the Galaxy has space for ALL your Marvel Cosmic needs!

BLACK BOLT #1

THE KING OF THE INHUMANS’ FIRST SOLO SERIES! Black Bolt imprisoned! But by who? And where exactly? The answers to both will shock you! But to learn those answers, Black Bolt must first win a fight to the death with a fellow inmate — The Absorbing Man! Award-winning science fiction writer Saladin Ahmed (Throne of the Crescent Moon) crafts a story as trippy as it is action-packed, with truly mind-bending art from the one and only Christian Ward!

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: MOTHER ENTROPY #1

HAWKEYE #6

IRON FIST #3

JEAN GREY #1

When a teenage JEAN GREY traveled through time and arrived in the present, she learned the terrible fate that befell her predecessor: Possessed by a cosmic entity called the Phoenix, Jean was trapped in an endless cycle of life and death.

But now, she’s visited by a premonition that the Phoenix is coming for her…and in this new ongoing series by DENNIS HOPELESS (ALL-NEW X-MEN, SPIDER-WOMAN, X-MEN: SEASON ONE) and VICTOR IBANEZ (EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN, STORM), she’s going to fight tooth and nail to escape becoming its next victim!

He thought his paws were clean, that he was on the up-and-up. But then an old flame swam back into his life, and he was back in the game… the heist game. If you need a safe cracked, a vault busted or a score taken…ask for Rocket. Just don’t call him a raccoon.

SECRET WARRIORS #1

A SECRET EMPIRE TIE-IN! Captain America has been revealed to be an agent of Hydra – and he’s coming after Inhumans! S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Daisy Johnson, a.k.a. QUAKE, wants no part of Hydra, so she goes underground, teaming up with MS. MARVEL, MOON GIRL & DEVIL DINOSAUR, KARNAK and INFERNO to set things right – for the Inhumans, but also for the entire country! Penned by rising star Matthew Rosenberg (Kingpin, Rocket Raccoon, 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank) and drawn by the immensely talented Javier Garrón (Death of X, Inhumans vs X-Men), SECRET WARRIORS is one part coming-of-age story, one part spy-thriller, all action and all heart.

Week of 11/20

DAREDEVIL #20

DEADPOOL VS. THE PUNISHER #3

GENERATION X #1

The Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach has opened its doors and is ready to foster the next generation of heroes and diplomats! But this time around, the X-Men recognize an unfortunate truth: not all mutants are created equal. Some mutants are not made to fight Sentinels or serve as ambassadors on behalf of their kind. Some mutants will just be lucky to survive another day in a world that hates and fears them. And who better to mentor mutantkind’s lovable losers than perpetual sidekick Jubilee? But will Jubilee and GENERATION X survive the experience??

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: MOTHER ENTROPY #3

INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #7

CAGED VENGEANCE! Dr. Noah Burstein, the man who made Luke Cage into the unbreakable hero he is today, is dead.
