Einige weitere spannende E-Commerce-News aus den vergangenen Tagen:

Ordr.in
Google Ventures hat in Ordr.in investiert. TechCrunch über Ordr.in, das eine Plattformstrategie für Essensbestellungen fährt:

"Ordr.in’s solution has been to parter with 72 local food ordering sites (and counting) across the United States, which let users order from some 7,000 restaurants. It then normalizes all of that data, and gives other apps and services access to it via an API.

It’s this API that lets any app or service integrate food ordering. Say, for example, Netflix wanted to integrate an option to oder dinner alongside your evening streaming movie. With Ordr.in, they could do it. And they have a financial incentive to do so — they get a cut of each transaction (as does Ordr.in)."

11 API-Management-Dienste
Programmable Web stellt 11 Dienste vor, die Anbietern von Programmierschnittstellen (APIs) unter die Arme greifen können:

"When launching and managing your API, many companies choose to do all the work themselves, unaware that are service providers available to help you plan, deploy, launch and manage your API infrastructure and ecosystem."

Amazon
Eine Geschichte aus den Anfangstagen von Amazon:

"We found that customers could order a negative quantity of books! And we would credit their credit card with the price and, I assume, wait around for them to ship the books," Bezos tells Richard Brandt, who adapted his book "One Click: Jeff Bezos and the Rise of Amazon.com" for a great Wall Street Journal profile."

Taobao
Liveshopping in China: Alibaba wird seine Gruppendeal-Plattform Taobao Ju Hua Suan in ein externes Unternehmen ausgliedern:

"Alibaba has today announced that its group buy site, Taobao Ju Hua Suan – meaning Taobao group bargains – is going to be spun off as a separate company. It has its own daily deals – which come from vendors as diverse as restaurants and travel agencies – and also serves as an open platform for other sites to sell their deals."

eBay-CFO geht zu One Kings Lane
Dinesh Lathi, ehemaliger CFO bei eBay, geht zum Möbelshoppingclub One Kings Lane, wo er Manager für 'finance, operations and customer service' wird.

"As the Wall Street Journal reported recently, One Kings Lane is on track for over $100 million in 2011 sales, and is valued at $440 million."

Wenzani
BBC Worldwide, der kommerzielle Ableger der BBC, ist seit Sommer Besitzer von Lonely Planet, das mit einem neuen Tochterunternehmen namens fourforty Reiseführer auf mobile Endgeräte bringen will, wie unser Schwesterblog Exciting Travel berichtet:

"Es lieht nahe, dass Wenzani von den Lonely Planet Inhalten zehren wird, allerdings wird es als eine Konkurrenzmarke zu den bekannten Reiseführern agieren, da diese bereits recht erfolgreich im App Store vertreten sind, mit mehr als 220 digitalisierten Versionen. "
