Uniqly offers a platform to sell your products without the accompanying tech headaches

Posted on May 17, 2014 by

The e-Commerce boom happened some time ago. One of the early starters was Amazon, which in 1995,  launched the world’s 1st Online book store. Today, the same Amazon is one of the world’s largest digital stores. Over the years, due to advancement in software & of course the Internet, Online retailing no longer remains the purview of large corporations but individuals, too. Almost anyone can now sell their product or service  on the Web using some rather advanced selling software & payment gateway. One such platform is Uniqly, which offers individual sellers to setup an Online shop for their products.

There are others like Ebay that do offer a similar service, right? The answer is, a ‘Yes’ & a ‘No’. Ebay & Amazon do offer a platform for individual sellers but these comes with some restrictions. For example: Some sellers can’t deliver to certain places. This is where a platform like Uniqly may make a difference by offering “a no worries solution” to individual sellers. Essentially, Uniqly takes care of all your back-end worries that come with Online selling while you concentrate on the business of selling.

So how does it work? The potential seller has to 1st sign up & provide information about the product along with  some photographs & the pricing. Once the process is complete, the seller can log in, go to the dashboard to tweak the rest of the things. There is no direct interaction between buyer & seller. As a consumer, the user will interact with Uniqly. It’s like buying directly from Best Buy or Wallmart Website.

The technical part like consumer feedback, payments & logistics will be hled by Uniqly. The seller just has to be ready with their product to be delivered. The seller can request logistics to pick up the package at desired time. The payment to the buyer will be done after 14 days on the seller’s PayPal account. Sellers can get notification of new orders on their dashboard & via email.

This platform makes it easy for sellers to focus only on business & leave the technical part to Uniqly. This service is free of cost & sellers can start their Online shop immediately after sign up. Sellers can also post a link to their blog or Website so that users can also access it. For the services it provides, Uniqly keeps a 5 % transaction fee from the seller. Uniqly also has some restrictions on the selling of  products such as alcoholic beverages & perishable goods.

Uniqly.net is a product of Philippines-based 88DB Philippines Inc., which claims to have 8 years of expertise in Online marketing & retailing.

Moju: Makes your selfies come alive

Posted on May 16, 2014 by

Instagram took over the world by storm. It was a simple idea of sharing photos with creative filters on the Web. Soon they added 15 sec videos for fun. Then came apps like SnapChat where people could upload their selfies. Now it’s the turn of Moju. The name may sound funny but this iOS exclusive app wants to make its mark in photo sharing segment of the global social media.

mojuscreenshotSo what does Moju has which other apps don’t? Moju captures a series of images in 50 frames per second & stiches them together to make a single image, all with a motion effect. Ok, so Moju creates a GIF, what’s so different about that? The trick is: The GIF only works when you twist the phone from left to right or right to left.

Basically it gives 3D-like effect when you twist the phone. Moju is a social media app so obviously there’s a photo feed in the app uploaded by different users with the motion effect. Users can like & comment on the photos shared. Similar to Instagram users can also caption the photos. Moju takes 24 shots & combines the photos. User can then select which photo he/she wants to go with the motion.

Co-Founder & CEO Moju Mok Oh has been quoted as saying that the video format is not as concise as the photo format. Mok Oh founded this Startup last year with aim to have all qualities of a still photo but with an animated enhancement which can be controlled by the user.

Like Instagram, users of this app can apply filters to an image, though some features are missing. For instance, you cannot zoom in or out while capturing the image. Also you cannot see the final output in the camera roll as it only uploaded on the Moju servers. But this is the 1st iteration of the app & Mok Oh has already confirmed that future updates will include many features.
