Rakuten wesentlich besser als Rocket

Global Gross Transaction Value = Domestic E-Commerce GMS + Credit Card GTV + Edy GTV + Rakuten Point Card GTV + Overseas E-Commerce GMS + Ebates GMS + Digital Contents GTV + Rakuten Marketing GTV

Der Domestic E-Commerce  hat an den 3,2 trillion von #326 einen Anteil von 0,855 trillion und ist YoY um 13,7% gestiegen.

Für im E-Commerce so weit fortgeschrittene Volkswirtschaften ist dieser Wert meines Erachtens okay.

Der weitaus größte Teil des enormen Swings  von 27,2 Millionen bei Other Internet Services beruht auf Bewertungsgewinnen, und zwar lauf einer Fußnote im Quartalsbericht 21,7 Milliarden.

Das hat die Anleger wohl mißtrauisch gemacht, aber selbst der restliche Swing aus dem normalen Geschäft ist m.E. bemerkenswert.

Messaging app Viber earlier this year made its first foray into shopping services with Instant Shopping, a feature that lets you search for items for sale via a keyboard when you have the messaging app open. Today, the company is announcing some more e-commerce related news: it’s buying the startup that helped build that feature.

Viber has acquired Chatter Commerce, maker of a service called ShopChat, which was the tech behind Instant Shopping. CEO and co-founder Zephrin Lasker once described ShopChat to me as “the world’s first shopping keyboard.”

Public Accounts open up new possibilities for businesses to connect with over 800 million global users on the messenger they trust the most.

Why should your business have a Public Account?

Rich messaging and interface options let you talk to your customers immediately and creatively.
Customers can reach you the way they’d reach out to any of their contacts. Interactions look and feel as simple and native as their regular Viber conversations.

And despite the in-your-face nature of the keyboard's shopping feature, it has a fair number of takers. The Viber team says that 30 percent of its American users have tried Instant Shopping since launch. The big challenge is keeping your attention: it's easy to try a shopping feature when it's fresh, but it's another to treat it as your go-to option. That's where the acquisition might help. Now that Rakuten Viber owns its shopping keyboard partner, it can improve and grow features on its terms. If it can improve the keyboard and add more shopping partners, you may have more reasons to stick around.

in Pinterest investiert, wo nach Crunchbase (auf Google Crunchbase und Pnterest eingeben)  der Total Funding Amount inzwischen $1,466,100,000 beträgt.

wurde angeführt, dass ein Investment von 83 Millionen Dollar in 2012 in Pinterest bis heute, also 2017, eine jährliche Verzinsung (IRR = interner Zinsfuß) von 34% gebracht habe.

Lauf der letzten Presentation von Rakuten sind es nicht mehr wie 2016 nur 800 Millionen User, sondern Stand 30.9.17 schon 950 Millionen User.

Das ist zwar kein raketenhaftes Wachstum, aber auch knapp 20% sind auf diesem Niveau meines Erachtens schon beachtlich.

More than one third of users are active monthly-

Bei 950 Millionen registrierten Usern zum 30,9. wären das dann ca. 320 Millionen.
