Viber: Die WhatsApp Newsletter Alternative im Osten

Weltweit haben sich mehr als 1 Milliarde Menschen in 193 Ländern für die Chat-App aus Israel angemeldet. In Osteuropa (Russland, Serbien, Weißrussland, Moldawien, Armenien, Ukraine), aber auch in Somalia, Äthiopien, dem Irak und Libyen sowie auf Sri Lanka zählt Viber zu den beliebtesten Messengern und ist eine echte Alternative zu WhatsApp.

Ähnlich wie Facebook bietet Viber Unternehmen die Möglichkeit, interessierte Nutzer zu erreichen, die den Seiten eines Unternehmens folgen und dadurch Newsletter erhalten. Zu den Nutzern von Vibers Business-Lösungen zählen etwa Coca-Cola, LÓreal oder der FC Barcelona. In Deutschland setzen u.a. der WWF oder Tech Talk auf Viber, um die 2,5 Millionen bundesdeutschen Viber-Nutzer zu erreichen. Die Kosten für Unternehmen belaufen sich auf ca. 1-2 Cent pro Message und User.

Der Chart weist doch schon länger eindeutig nach unten !

Fast auf den Tag genau vor 5 Jahren (!) hast du den Thread eröffnet, die Börsen haussieren die gesamt Zeitspanne über,nur richtig miese Aktien schaffen es auf eine vergleichbare Negativ Performance wie deine Rakuten.
37 % im Minus !
Was hätte man mit seinem Kapital alles machen,es vermehren und vervielfachen können.
Investmenttechnisch ist das hier ein Offenbarungseid.

tut echt weh! Das könnte einiges der Verhaltensweisen erklären.

poste doch mal die beiden Charts der letzten 5 Jahre von Hypoport und Rakuten übereinander gelegt

wer Stand heute der Sieger ist

weil, wie  in #4270 aufgezeigt, Rakuten einen sagenhaften operativen Cash Flow von 1,7648 Milliarden US-Dollar in den letzten vier Quartalen produziert hat.

wenn das so ist, dann kann man gutes Geld schlechtem hinterher werfen? Ich find's mutig, aber Du bist ja zweifellos der Experte, wie Du immer wieder beweist.

/Spaß off

die Bewertungen, die bei neuesten Vorgängen um Line und Yahoo-Japan zum Vorschein kommen, wie unterbewertet Rakuten ist:

www.reuters.com/article/...ith-line-shares-jump-idUSKBN1XN2W5

„With the acquisition of Zozo, Yahoo handles a total of ¥2.6 trillion in distribution transactions, comparable to Rakuten’s ¥3.4 trillion and the ¥2.7 trillion of Amazon’s Japan branch.“

elevenmyanmar.com/news/japan-yahoo-takes-aim-at-gafa

Die nachstehende Meldung der FAZ kann ich nicht nachvollziehen.

"Käme es zum Zusammenschluss, entstünde ein Internetriese für Online-Handel, Werbung und Zahlungsverkehr mit einem Umsatz von rund 11 Milliarden Dollar. Gemessen am Umsatz würde das neue Unternehmen den japanischen Marktführer im Online-Handel, Rakuten, überholen."

www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/diginomics/...en-16485998.html

Denn wie die nachstehenden Zahlen zeigen, liegt der Umsatz von Rakuten zumindest auf gleicher Höhe bzw. leicht über dem Umsatz des Zusammenschlusses.

Rakuten ausgehen soll, kann ich nicht nachvollziehen:

Line Corp. would be lucky to have a suitor. Even if it bears the name Yahoo.
The instant-messenger company has been marching toward irrelevance since its dual Tokyo and New York initial public offerings three years ago, with management failing to navigate any clear future for the company or its core product. They’ve shown zero interest in geographical expansion and have instead rested on the belief that being hip in a few places would be enough.It’s not hard to see why. The company had a meteoric rise and remains favored among fans for its array of stickers, emoji-like cartoons that they often paid for. It’s easy and comfortable but accounts for only 13% of revenue and has stagnated.

Now, Line may merge with Yahoo Japan’s parent, Z Holdings Corp., which itself is a part of the broader family of SoftBank Group Corp., Bloomberg News reported early Thursday, citing Z Holdings.

www.washingtonpost.com/business/...18-25d6bd37dfb1_story.html

fast die gleiche Marktkapitalisierung haben soll wie Rakuten mit 11,5 Milliarden Dollar ist für mich nicht nachzuvollziehen. Denn Rakuten weist fast die 6-fachen Umsätze auf und ist bei Operating Incomes noch dramatischer überlegen.

Compared to other major developed countries, Japan has so far been slow in going cashless, and currently the Japanese government is stepping up its efforts to increase penetration. To support this effort, Rakuten Payment, Inc. launched a project team from August 2018 to promote cashless payments in Fukuoka City. RNN went to Fukuoka to find out how Rakuten Pay use is spreading within the city, by speaking to locals on the street as well as staff members of Rakuten Payment, Inc.

In the second part of a two-part report, we hear from the Rakuten Payment staff members behind this socially impactful initiative, as well as some of the varied businesses that have adopted Rakuten Pay, including a taxi firm, street vendor and large shopping mall, who explain why they chose to introduce the service and what impact it's had.

Rakuten Review [Formerly Ebates]: How to Earn Lots of Cash Back by Shopping Online!
BY
Katie Seemann
UPDATED: November 11, 2019

Ebates has been around since 1998 and is one of the biggest and most popular cash-back portals. Rakuten is a Japanese e-commerce and internet company based in Tokyo and has been around since 1997.

In 2014 Ebates was acquired by Rakuten, and in early 2019, the Ebates name was officially changed to Rakuten. If you have been using Ebates for a while, you shouldn’t have noticed much of a change. Your account will remain exactly the same, so there is no need to update anything or make a new account.

Is Rakuten the same as Ebates?
Yes, Rakuten and Ebates are the same company. Rakuten acquired Ebates in 2014. In 2019, the Ebates name was dropped in favor of Rakuten. So, Ebates is now known as Rakuten, but everything else has stayed the same. Your account will be the same and will still include all of your Ebates history. There shouldn’t be any difference from the user perspective.

German fintech Wirecard and Romania-based Libra Internet Bank are collaborating to deliver instant messaging (IM) platform Rakuten Viber, a new money transfer service for its customers called Moneytou, powered by Mastercard.

With Viber’s compliance partner Neopay, Wirecard will enable users to send money to each other via the one billion-user messaging app, with Libra Internet Bank acting as the local acquirer.

The first users will be able to send up to 125,000 Hungarion Forints (HUF) a month, that’s $412.67, and up to 780,000 HUF a year, which is $2,574.94 US dollars.

Focusing on the P2P space offers a huge market portion. More than $200 billion is expected to flow through P2P payment methods next year in the US alone, according to a report by eMarketer.

Es könnte das erste "Rakuten Original" sein. Eine exklusive Doku-Serie über die letzte Saison des FC Barcelona wird von "Rakuten TV" angekündigt als "coming soon". In Cannes ist gerade wieder MIPCOM und Jacinto Roca, Gründer und CEO der Streaming-Plattform (einst "Wuaki.tv") hatte auf einem Panel dort Interessantes zu verkünden: Die Streaming-Plattform, die bei uns scheinbar weitgehend unter Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit Filme verkauft und vermietet und mittlerweile auch Channels von Drittanbietern vertreibt, setzt künftig auf kostenlosen Content, welcher sich nur durch Werbung refinanziert.

Sicher wird Rakuten den Verleih und Verkauf von Filmen nicht einstellen, aber mit kostenlosen Angeboten werde man den "sich wandelnden Bedürfnissen der Zuschauer gerecht", so heißt es. Zwar sind etliche große Player gerade der Auffassung, dass das Abonnement die Zukunft des Streamings ist. Roku sieht das beispielsweise in den USA allerdings schon seit einiger Zeit erfolgreich anders. Egal, ob "Rakuten TV" nun dem Roku-Beispiel folgt oder nur nach einer Nische sucht, in der man den ruinösen Wettbewerb beim Verleih und Verkauf überlebt- in Barcelona meint man es anscheinend mit dem "Free Streaming" ernst.

So verkehrt ist das gar nicht gedacht. "Kostenlos" ist nichts anderes als das werbefinanzierte "Free TV", das wir kennen. Nur eben nun "on demand" und per Internet. Eine eigene Taste auf der Fernbedienung haben die großen Wettbewerber RTL & Co. schließlich nicht.

Hotel booking and management platform RedDoorz is aiming to go public around 2022 and has aggressive plans in the pipeline to reach this goal, the company’s founder and CEO Amit Saberwal said during a media briefing held in Singapore today.

The hospitality startup currently operates a network of 1,500 properties in more than 100 cities across Indonesia, Singapore, The Philippines, and Vietnam. It plans to increase the number of properties to 4,500 by the end of 2020 and 15,000 by 2023. The company said it grew 6 times in 2018, 4.5 times in 2019 and it expects a targeted growth of 2.5 times by 2020.

RedDoorz is considering filing for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) between 2022-23 after completing the growth target, although Saberwal did not specify where the company intends to file for the listing. He also told KrASIA that while it is an aggressive plan, he is confident of RedDoorz’s ability and ensured that the timeline is practical.
