Zaarly Marketplace: “Most and Best”
With its rocket launch splash on the tech media, Zaarly’s peer-to-peer community marketplace is gaining ground and making its mark in neighborhoods across the country.
With the idea of Zaarly being one where community members can sell and buy both goods and services, the possibilities are endless. However, certain trends emerged earlier this summer and were tracked by TechCrunch for your viewing pleasure.
By mid-June, these were the best and the most sold/bought within the Zaarly marketplace thus far:
• The city with the most completed transactions goes to Chicago
• The most offers on a single Zaarly post was 16
• The most popular product procured on Zaarly is the coveted iPad
• Apple was the most popular brand sold on Zaarly–nearly 7% of all Zaarlys referred to Apple
• The most commonly used Zaarly category is services (however, Los Angeles was the only city that used the electronics category more)
TechCrunch even broke down what people were saying on Twitter. Dbirdy said, “I love @zaarly! What a GNARLY tool! I never realized how much stuff I needed done until I could name my $ & help my neighbors too.”
Kids became habitual to mobile phones
Mobile phones are not just a source of communication now. Kids are habitual to the mobile phones and spend most of their time on playing games, social networking or sending text messages to their friends. It is not good for them to become addicted to a mobile device because a study says that mobile phones can be cause of some serious diseases. It is the main concern of the parents today as well.
Kids want mobile accessories which will give a unique look to their mobile phones, and they spend lots of money on mobile accessories. Even they don’t pay attention towards their study and play games on mobile phones. But this issue can’t be sorted out by parents.
Digital signatures and electronic signatures are different terms
Many people have this misconception that Digital signature and electronic signatures are synonyms of a same application but it is not true. There is quite big difference in these two technologies. Digital signatures are just like your hand written signature which is used as the digital identity of yourself where electronic signatures are the imprints of your hand written signatures. Digital signatures need a digital certificate for the verification while electronic signatures are not bound to be verified by any type of certificate.
The basic difference in digital signature and electronic signatures side in their identity and format a set of key is provided with your digital signatures which are essential for the validation while there are no such keys when you want to sign a document by your electronic signatures.
