More over noted was the overpriced services that had customer satisfaction as their least c

oncern. The alliance also had the inference that the growth of an organization is not solemnly based on the annual profits of the organization but also dependent a lot on the relationships developed with the customer and level of satisfaction of a customer with the services provided.

WhatsApp testing Like, 'mark as unread' features

Popular mobile messaging service WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, could soon borrow some features from its parent company.

While the two services are independent of each other at the moment, it looks like Facebook is testing the implementation of its popular Like feature along with the 'mark as unread' functionality in WhatsApp.

While WhatsApp uses blue coloured check marks to denote read messages, the feature will let users reverse the process. It's not clear if the unread status will reflect at the sender's end (this could make life easier for a number of users) or is only a convenience feature for the message recipient.

Soon, 'selfies' to verify online payments!

MasterCard is experimenting with a smartphone app which allows people to confirm their identity and authenticate online transactions via a facial scan.

Users will have to download the MasterCard phone app and at checkout they will be asked to hold up their phone to stare and blink at it. Currently, users can set up something called "SecureCode," which requires a password when shopping online.

MasterCard said it does not actually get a picture of the user's finger or face. All fingerprint scans will create a code that stays on the device. The facial recognition scan will map out a user's face, convert it to 1s and 0s and transmit that over the Internet to MasterCard.
