As of this writing, the extensions feature is only available to those who’ve subscribed to the Microsoft’s Insider Previews. So far, the extensions are limited to Microsoft Translate, Mouse Gestures and a Reddit Enhancement Suite. The latter is apparently a suite of modules meant to “enhance your <b>Reddit browsing experience</b>.”<br /><br />Also mentioned on the post are support for pinned tabs and a “paste and go” option. These are all features that you can find on any modern browser and while better late than never, it’s a wonder that Microsoft took so long to implement them.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;"> First came the Transportation hub with Uber, and now <b>Facebook Messenger</b> is launching “its very first music integration” with <b>Spotify</b>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Inside the Messenger “More” section in chat threads, all <b>iOS</b> and <b>Android</b> users will now find a <b>Spotify</b> option. Tap it and they’ll be shuttled into Spotify’s app where they can “Search for something to share.” Once they select a song, artist or playlist, they’ll be popped back to Messenger with the option to share the photo of the cover artwork. When a friend taps that photo, they’ll be bounced over to Spotify to listen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;"> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black;">Spotify already has its own internal sharing option for sending songs straight to friends. It also connects with email, SMS, <b>WhatsApp</b>, and Facebook Messenger. But now when you’re on Messenger discussing a song you fell in love with or an artist coming to play a concert, you can easily pop over to <b>Spotify</b> and back to share.<br /><br />Many Messenger and Spotify users rely on screenshots or just typing out a song name to share it with a friend. That causes extra friction that might lead a recipient to never actually listen. With the Messenger sharing, there’s no extra typing necessary.<br /><br />If Messenger can become a richer social layer connecting <b>Spotify users</b>, it could inspire deep conversations about music, boosting its engagement. That generates platform lock-in and potential monetization opportunities for Facebook. And for Spotify, Messenger will provide virality that could help it fend off Apple Music and convince more non-streamers of its value.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">The <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">navigation menu</b> helps the visitors beyond the homepage. Hence, it is one of the most important elements on a website. It becomes more important when seen from business point of view as if the navigation menu isn’t proper, the customers won’t be able to find what they are looking for and will abandon your site.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">With the emerging use of mobile devices, the challenges also tend to rise for the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">mobile developers</b>. And that is, <i>how to design a good navigation menu for the visitors with limitations of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">mobile devices</b>?</i></span></div>
<h2>
What makes a good menu?</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Content is one of the factors for a good menu. Use a very simple language on your <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">website</b> that can be easily understood by the customers. Also, do not put plenty of options in front of customers. If you do so, they will feel confused and will abandon your site. The optimum number of options you must provide must be between to 4 to 7.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">You must think about the correct area to place your menu buttons, like the right side of the desktop as many customers read from left to write.</span></div>
<h2>
Issues concerning mobile menus</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Mobiles have comparatively smaller screens than desktops. Due to this, space is limited but menus are equally important.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">A <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">mobile user</b> is always on the go and is always looking for something specific like directions, bank balance etc. Whatever they need must be immediate.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">But when you ask a computer user to put his hands on <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">mobile devices</b>, he won’t work in the same way as he does on his computer. He will face many limitations in mobile compared to a PC.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">To come up with a perfect solution, designers are working on different ideas and concepts.</span></div>
<h2>
Elements of good mobile menu</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Below are some tips for the designing of an excellent <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">navigation menu</b> for mobile devices.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">1.Make use of minimum number of menus and label them with very simple language. Also, limit the number of clicks on product options. Provide a useful search button so users can easily look for what they are searching for, and also a back button too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">2.Use stackable buttons for organizing menu buttons vertically instead of horizontally because mobile internet is portrait rather than landscape.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">3.Make your menu creative by using icons instead of plain old list.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">4.Place simple ‘menu’ button on the prominent area of you page with nested navigation menu.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">5.The three-line menu that is becoming popular can be an alternative option. It is also adopted by sites like Facebook and web browsers like Chrome and Firefox.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">6.Avoid horizontal scroll and make you icons big enough so that they can be tapped by your thumb.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Different types of menus can be used which depends on the purpose of the site. There is no ‘one size fits all’ solution.</span></div>

Now, a new report suggests that the company may also let businesses push ads via Messenger.</span></span></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A leaked document with a verified source, procured by Techcrunch, reveals that businesses should be able to send ads as messages to people involved in a chat thread with that company. The report also adds that businesses could start interacting or creating threads with people now, so that they can push advertisements once the product launches.<br /><br />Facebook has been tight lipped about the matter and on asking told the news site, “Our aim with Messenger is to create a high quality, engaging experience for 800 million people around the world, and that includes ensuring people do not experience unwanted messages of any type.”<br /><br />The further reveals that a URL short link fb.com/msg/ has been created to instantly open the chat thread with a business, and its existence has been confirmed by Facebook. This adds some validity to the possibility of ads via Messengers to be on its way.<br /><br />It is still unclear what form of ads we will see. However, we can expect Facebook to make some big announcements for its messenger platform at the F8 conference to be held in April.<br /><br /><b>Facebook’s Messenger app</b> surpassed 800 million users, making it the fastest-growing app of 2015, according to research firm Nielsen. The means Messenger, which Facebook created as a standalone app in 2014, has more active monthly users than rivals Snapchat and Viber.</span></span></span></span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Though we know <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Wordpress</b> as the most popular <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">content management system</b>, there still exist it competitors like SquareSpace. SquareSpace is a dedicated website builder that aims at the same audience. Both the platforms hold good reputation and support a lot of websites but it is a dilemma in choosing the better one out.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">The Basics</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Both SquareSpace and Wordpress serve a different purpose hence they cannot be compared directly. We can have a look at their basics.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Wordpress is a free service and an online open source tool that allows you to build <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">websites</b>. It facilitates you with number of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">themes</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">plugins</b> so that you can customize your site on your own. No coding skills are required if you are just limited to adding content but you will need some coding brain if you want to take the benefits of its full potential by unlocking it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">SquareSpace is an all-in-one platform as it acts as a blogging platform, website builder and hosting service. With is Software-as-a-Service based <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">CMS</b>; it allows you to create an entire website without any coding knowledge. However, it doesn’t come as an open source so your use of theme and plugins is limited to those that are provided. It is also not a free service.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">Ease of Use</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">From beginners to advanced-level users, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Wordpress</b> is suitable for anyone and everyone. It is reputed for its ease of use. The only things the beginners need to understand are the terms like posts, pages, categories and tags. Once they understand the basics, they must maintain a good grip over it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">SquareSpace doesn’t provide the same as Wordpress yet is I easy to use. It works on the basis of what-you-see-is-what-you-get. People are driven towards SquareSpace more than Wordpress due to its easy usability.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">Design</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Wordpress users possibly have unlimited number of themes to use. Some of the themes are free to use whereas better one range from $50 to $100 each. The amazing thing about the themes on Wordpress is you can customize them using custom code. So if you want to change your needs as your business proceeds, your website have the potential to grow with you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">SquareSpace on the other side provides limited options. It has only a few templates to choose from but each of them is very professional in appearance and is customizable. However, even by using <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">CSS</b> code, you are bound by limitations and hit the boundary line, especially if your business grows and your website represents that.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">Features</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -31pt 0in 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">When it comes to features, Wordpress takes away the cake as it is very flexible in terms of features and functionality of your site. This is because there are 41000 plugins available for you. You can modify these plugins the way you need even if you have very little knowledge of coding. It is not always the same as not all the plugins available are there to serve you as you want. So before you go for any plugin, just check if it is of good quality or not.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -31pt 0in 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">SquareSpace on other side provides just limited features and functionality as there are few plugins available for use. However, the plugins available are developed by SquareSpace’s own developers so there is no doubt in their quality.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">Cost</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -31pt 0in 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">When we talk about cost, Wordpress doesn’t charge anything as it is free of cost. But you will need to pay for the hosting account to run your site and also pay for the better themes and plugins. You may also come across a situation in which you will need to hire a developer to customize your site.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -31pt 0in 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">SquareSpace offers a 14 day trial period after which it chargers you. If you go for personal package, it will cost you $8 per month if you pay annually and $12 per month if you pay monthly. For this, you will get 20 pages, galleries and blogs with unlimited bandwidth and storage. If you go for business package, it will cost you $18 or $26 per month and provides you unlimited pages and gives you the permission to sell 25 products. The Basic commerce package costs $26 or $30 monthly with unlimited product selling. The Advanced Commerce package will $70 or $80 monthly that offers some advanced features.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">Ecommerce</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -31pt 0in 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Wordpress becomes the clear winner when <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ecommerce</b> is concerned. You can install a plugin that converts your website into a functioning site such as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">WooCommerce</b>. It allows you to sell unlimited products and also integrate payment gateways like PayPal, Stripe and GoogleCheckout.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -31pt 0in 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">SquareSpace provides very limited options. You can use Stripe for payment during the initial time which limits your audience instantly. IF personal package is chosen, it allows you to sell only single product. If you want to sell more products you will have to go for the Business package. Commerce package allows you to sell over 25 products.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">Support</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -31pt 0in 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Wordpress will provide no official tech support and no point of contact however it depends on your problem. But there are many video tutorials out there that provide large general support community accessible via forums.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -31pt 0in 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">The tech support that SquareSpace provides is just outstanding. It provides 24/7 tech support. It provides live chat options plus emails are answered within an hour. They will help you deal with problems and bugs but won’t be there to aid you with the small issues to your site.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">Data Portability and Scalability</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -31pt 0in 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Wordpress is flexible when you want to transfer your data to different CMS. You can export data through various in-built tools and backup your theme, plugins and even the whole of database. Later, you may transfer it to another CMS and store it anywhere you want.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -31pt 0in 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">We already know that SquareSpace comes with limited functionality it is every time that you will be bound by the walls if your business outgrows what’s on offer. The export feature also faces some limitations like you have the permission to export contents in XML file but you cannot move all of your content.</span></div>
<h1 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">Wordpress or SquareSpace?</span></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -31pt 0in 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Wordpress here is a clear winner if you expect full flexibility over appearance and functionality from your website. It is also thumbs up for Wordpress if you want the benefits of ecommerce functionality. In a nutshell, Wordpress provides you the potential to modify your site the way you want.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -31pt 0in 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">On the other side, SquareSpace allow you to create website even if you have no coding knowledge, no experience and do not want to hire any developer. It allows you to develop an elegant website and get it online with minimum bucks ad it also provides you a 24/7 tech support.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">Multi-vendors and multi-channel selling</span></b></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">The world of ecommerce is getting competitive with introduction of technological advancement. This demands acceptance of innovative trends like multi-channel selling and multi-vendor website. For instance, customer often wants to check the product of interest on more than one <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">online shop</b> hosting it. They may go to Amazon to check the new brand of earphones that was launched recently. This is done because users want to explore the range of items from different vendors. Online merchants therefore prefer to opt for multi channel selling, knowing this can bring innumerable benefits.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">The size began to matter now</span></b></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Images and videos are used not just to give customers a hint of what their product is about. Large images and videos covering the entire screen is becoming a signature trend especially for those merchants whose business is focused on specific niche – sports, fitness, accessories, art pieces, fashion wears, etc. Images can express the brand interest and elegant introduction of company’s makes. On the other hand, Videos designed to enlighten customers quickly explain the major points, which eventually works as a Call to Action for users. A touch from <b>website design experts</b> can enhance the look and feel of your main landing page containing images and/or video.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">Social media has expanded its reach</span></b></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Making strong connections with customer on social media platform is not the only aim merchants can fulfill now. Earlier, social channels were used to cause a stir among users upon the launch of new product. But now the situation is totally different. The powerful reach of socials has taken a new shape. Posts are no longer limited to just likes, comment and share. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are some of the social media platforms that have announced they will support direct selling from their platform.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">The pop up flashes more than a message</span></b></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Pop ups are all coming back as a revisited trend now. The year just gone by is a perfect example of how pop ups make for a business builder. Merchants are using small messages to convince customers to subscribe to newsletters in exchange for something free. If customers have already signed up, they will not see them again, or not as frequently. They do the best job of email marketing, pop ups, and when supported with effective message content, they can wonderfully fit into customer’s comfort zone, making them less irritated and more persuaded of your gentle marketing approach.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: medium;">Mobile is still a steadfast hero</span></b></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">The number of Mobile buyers is increasing in leaps and bounds, and with this, the online users of social media and dedicated mobile websites and applications. Mobile is helping business remain competitive. So making your website mobile friendly should be on top of the list along with other things-to-do. <b>Responsive design expert</b> will come to your rescue if you want to optimize your website for mobile experience.</span></div>

WhatsApp has now updated its app to support more than 100 members within a group. The app now allows for up to 256 members to be added to a WhatsApp group. And while casual users will be happy, there are others who would be happy with this news as well.<br /><br />Seems like WhatsApp is giving its users (or group admins) more reasons to stick around on its platform. While this is not a big deal for many (apart from the fact that group conversations will now get more meaningless), there is this other group of people that are currently using WhatsApp as a platform to run their business.<br /><br />Users and admins are selling everything from outfits to accessories and even using the same for advertising down to carpooling groups and more. WhatsApp groups have grown in number and an additional 156 group members seems to make the deal even sweeter for such group admins.<br /><br />But while group admins are running their business using WhatsApp, the increase in the group member limit could be a sign of times to come.<br /><br /><b>Facebook</b> could be ramping up plans for <b>WhatsApp</b> since acquiring it. The social network earlier made public that it would cancel the fee but had plans to make money off it by allowing businesses and organisations to communicate with users.<br /><br />So increasing the number of group members could be a first step just to test out the waters as to how operations would scale. Also 256 being an odd figure (why not 300?) indicates that WhatsApp could be testing out the feature with its available infrastructure; so yes this number could increase soon.<br /><br />WhatsApp could be in a position to introduce even more members to a group for an additional cost since the <b>messaging app</b> is a lot more popular than others. It was just recently that we heard that WhatsApp crossed the 1 billion users milestone with 42 billion messages exchanged daily so this does not sound like a distant dream indeed. This would benefit those group admins who run their businesses using Whatsapp.<br /><br />Oddly, many such admins could already be working with the current 100 group member limit by creating multiple groups (different groups for different areas or zones). Moreover, there are mods or hacks available for rooted <b>Android</b> devices that will give admins a group limit of up to 1000 members.<br /><br />Since conversations in larger groups tend to get cluttered, meaningless and hard to keep a track off, organisations use Slack to segregate conversations by tags. We’re pretty sure that keeping a tab on the conversations with just 100 group members is a task (or a headache depending on whether you have been forced into or not) so the complexity of chatting up with 256 or even a thousand will not make much sense.<br /><br />Still then this is something that WhatsApp could really tap into, like a feature to tag users in its conversations wherein tagging actually prompts a particular user with a notification. This could simply be adding an ‘@’ sign in the message followed by the user’s name something that Facebook already follows.<br /><br />So much speculation surely hints that Facebook is indeed up to something with WhatsApp. But for now it is all about when these ideas go into play as WhatsApp’s user base keeps growing, but Facebook has yet to take it first step to make some money of its acquisition.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

In a public transcript an Oracle lawyer has revealed that Google actually had a revenue sharing agreement with Apple and that the company apparently handed over a percentage of the same two years ago.<br /><br />Shedding more light on the topic revealed that the search giant may have actually paid Apple a percentage of the revenue, which was generated by <b>iOS</b> users searching via Google on their devices. This was speculation from many years but nothing could be confirmed until now.<br /><br />The report from Bloomberg confirms another topic of discussion but eventually proves that Apple does reap more than $1 billion just from <b>Google search</b> referrals, even though both companies have never talked about the same officially.<br /><br />The other topic which was speculation until now, proves that Apple indeed benefits (in a big way) by allowing Google to basically do what it wants with the data generated from iOS search results.<br /><br />According to the same Oracle lawyer, Annette Hurst, interviews had revealed that at one point in time, that revenue share was 34 percent. But for now it remains unclear whether this fixed margin is the share that Google holds back or pays to Apple.<br /><br />And yes, this is turning out to be a bad day for Apple as well. This is because Apple CEO, Tim Cook was noted for his statements that went against selling search data in the past. Now that things between Apple and <b>Google</b> are opening up, Apple may have some damage control to look after indeed.<br /><br />The epic legal battle between the tech titans over use of Oracle’s Java in Google’s <b>Android operating system</b> has been raging on for quite a while. In a recent update, Google announced that it would be replacing the use of Java application programming interfaces (APIs) in Android with OpenJDK – the open source version of Oracle’s Java Development Kit.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

The facility will be the first of its kind in Europe as the U.S. company explores way to nurture <b>mobile app</b> developers and talent of the future from the region.<br /><br />The center is designed, as the name suggests, to be a place where aspiring <b>app developers</b> can receive training and mentorship to develop their skills and ability with Apple’s iOS software. It isn’t clear when the Naples-based hub will open, but Apple did say that it will be located at a partnership institution in the city. The company added that the program will be expanded to other countries worldwide in the future.<br /><br />In case you’ve been living in cave for the past five years or so, <b>mobile apps</b> are big business — and iOS apps, in particular. Though the number of Google Play app downloads was double that of iOS last year, the Apple operating system generated 75 percent more revenue than its competitor, according to data release by App Annie this week. Indeed, Apple racked in more than $1.1 billion from iOS app purchases and in-app purchases during the recent New Year period alone.<br /><br />Explaining its decision to open the Italy-based center, Apple said its mobile ecosystem has helped developers in Europe earn more than €10.2 billion while it estimates that, in Italy alone, over 75,000 jobs are linked to its App Store.<br /><br />“Europe is home to some of the most creative developers in the world and we’re thrilled to be helping the next generation of entrepreneurs in Italy get the skills they need for success,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

IE 11 will continue to receive security updates, compatibility fixes and technical support on Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.<br /><br />For users and enterprises, no security updates mean that vulnerabilities may be exploited by malware. Microsoft has issued instructions for its enterprise customers, SMB customers and home PC users on the website on how to upgrade. Citing the potential risks of using older versions of IE after the aforementioned date, Microsoft lists out businesses not being able to meet compliance requirements and lack of independent software vendor support. Of course, security can take the biggest hit.<br /><br />Looking at the bigger picture, IE 11 is the last version of Microsoft’s old browser that is supported.

Originally reported by Venture Beat, and confirmed by TNW, Google is starting to unroll offline navigation to users on iOS.<br /><br />Until now, users were only able to view a map of the area when offline. With the update, they can get turn-by-turn navigation, useful information about local businesses — like hours of operation, ratings and contact information — and destination-specific search, all while offline.<br /><br />These features arrived on Android last month and now, iPhone users have it too.<br /><br />➤ Google Maps for iOS gets offline navigation, popular business hours, and up-to-date gas prices [Venture Beat]</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Web designers and developers who are actively involved in the world of website creation are compelled to believe that a web design must cater to the needs of the user. So it doesn’t strike as a surprise to say that emphasis on website design is most crucial to business success. While some web designs may stun users, there are certain obstacles that disturb the intuitive UX of your <b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva";">E</span></b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva";">-</span><b>commerce Development</b> store. Not all the elements about web UX design have the key to unlocking the true potential of online store. So let’s take a look at those obstacles that spoil the whole ecommerce broth.</span><br />

<h2>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva";">Irrelevant audience</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">All the websites made serve particular purpose for specific group of users; not all the audience is going to be pleased with what you offer to them.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;"> You can’t think of selling a lighter to someone who doesn’t really smoke. You must include elements in your website that is aimed to target your audience. Your approach towards the relevant audience must be calculated and right in order to mesmerize them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<h2>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva";">Careless redesigning</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">With time you may have to go with the trend and make certain ongoing changes to your website, which is done to further adjust with the changing customer needs. The job of redesigning must have some transformative purpose and should not be something mundane. You can tweak information, include latest techniques of presentation, and change your mission statement or simplifying interactions. It could be anything that you think can bring about the huge difference in conversion or engagement. You should not redesign<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva";"> </span>just because you want to, or because you think it is the time to redesign.</span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">

<h2>

<h2>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva";">Annoying forms</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Long-winded and frustrating web forms put on webstore is one of the key reasons why users abandon the cart before serving the purpose. Forms, thought, are a bravest way of getting more subscriptions from prospect customers. For website to yield higher conversion, it is necessary to employ such forms that have concise, direct and simple. It should not take much of customers’ time. Forms can be well-crafted, smart and auto-corrective.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">If believing in the power of pictures sounds like a much-used idea, then quit dreaming about a successful ecommerce entrepreneur. Stick to this basic notion: a picture does speak louder than words. So design your UX accordingly and don’t let the textual description dominate your website. Your audience is never going to read long sentences and verbal expression on the site. This kind of approach only stunts the growth of your business. Pictures can also be supported with video demonstration as rich media always enhances the understanding of customers.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;"><img title="10 common tips to boost the chances of high conversion" alt="Magento Development" border="0" height="369" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsdg4FKRGGDeqyD_5wsUfkgXgJgba6769uxGjsEQRg0mScO5lusvL45SWEHpSJSzUm4OalRP9j0vGgMUmzugPMhWWvRYEqe2CjtqmzNsqC9KDGZEA44CqlkYPe2D6ELlPsRxXSrubNQrw/s320/10+common+tips+to+boost+the+chances+of+high+conversion.jpg" title="" width="369" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: large;">You can follow 10 simple measures to improve your conversion rates:</span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: large;">1. Improve the copy</span></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">eCommerce copy is not an easy job and requires a very appreciative writing skill. You can improve your copy by considering the following:</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> </span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Make more usage of passive language as it is appropriate to avoid casting blame.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Do not forget to include call-to-action. It indirectly means “asking for the sale.”</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Always proceed with benefits as it is the only thing the customers are concerned about.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: large;">2. Use images effectively</span></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Though images are proved to improve sales, they can also sometimes lead to sliding down of conversion rates. You first need to analyze the minds of the customers and know what they want. And you can put that in our image thus increase your sales.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: large;">3. Leverage Videos</span></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">You have to use videos very wisely as not all users can gain access to videos like the Apple users do not have Adobe Flash support in their devices. Adding to this, video needs good amount of bandwidth.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">You can use videos in the best ways like:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Always add product description along with the video. Few people who have no mood to watch the video can get aware by the product description.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Use video like you use images like showing the product in use.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">While you use videos, do not forget to use split-testing or A/B testing.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: large;">4. Split Test Everything</span></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">You may use split-testing where you create landing pages with some minor modifications in order to evaluate the effectiveness of that modifications. It is the only way to know what will work and what won’t.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">LeadPages and Google Analytics are one of the tools that provide A/B testing.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: large;">5. Capture the “Almost” Conversions</span></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Cart abandonment often relates to customers dropping things in cart and later simply surf the web without finalizing things. This is sometimes due to flaw in design.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">To overcome this, you can utilize the techniques to retrieve the customers who abandon your online shopping cart.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Another technique is ad retargeting. Retargeting is something in which retailer uses a PPC ad or Facebook ads to view previous visitors an ad for the site. This leads to the visitors viewing the ad on Facebook or on other AdSense websites they visit and are reminded to buy the product.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Introducing Live Chat can also be fruitful as it allows the customers to ask their doubts directly about their purchase and it can also help to troubleshoot any technical problems during the checkout process.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: large;">6. Give social proof</span></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Influence of your online store on real people and influencers can be executed by social proof. The psychology of customers can be scrutinized by Social proof.</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">For <b>eCommerce website</b>, the below points are recommended the social proof:</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Online reviews and ratings</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Text, image and video testimonials from customers/ influencers/ celebrities</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Numbers and statistics</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Trusted by signs/ descriptions</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: large;">7. Simplify guest checkout</span></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">eCommerce has the strategy to make the customers sign up prior to their completion of purchase. Some customers come in hurry and the signing up process becomes a hindrance to them and here is the place where guest checkout comes in action.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">You can make your cart abandonment ratio steep down by providing guest checkout with a few steps. Go for an advanced shopping cart where the customer will be provided with all the information through their email and you can keep a record of their transaction. ThinkGeek is one of its examples.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: large;">8. Combine value with urgency</span></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">It is a basic human nature that they can’t withstand losses on offers. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Because of this, urgency with value is a great tool to improve your conversion. In such situation, real urgency and implied urgency can be your powerful weapons.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">The following are the recommended options to create urgency among the customers:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Scarcity of stocks (only 4 pieces left)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Size scarcity (only 10 left in ‘L’ size)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Limited time offer</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Limited time shipping (purchase before 12 am for free shipping)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Other customers looking for the purchase.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">It is important to note that one must not overdo with the options for urgency. Like conversion rate optimization, urgency is also the task of a skilful person that can yield great result if utilized in optimum state.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: large;">9. Highlight returns and refunds</span></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">When customers are finished with the checkout process, the next question that arises in their minds is ‘what if they are not satisfied with the product they ordered?’ To give an answer to this, you can highlight your return and refund policy so the customers can take a sigh of relief.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Return and refund policy ensures the security of customers money and so it can convert many visitors into customers.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: large;">10. Upsell and cross-sell</span></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">Upselling and cross-selling refers to providing the customers with items that are complimentary to what they have already bought. This can encourage the customer to buy complimentary products that can make their main product work efficiently.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">It is found that upselling is 20 times more effective than cross-selling but make sure that you focus on customer experience and not on increasing your product sales.</span></div>
