"Zalando (Germany) defends work practices after undercover TV probe" article at FT

Berlin-based online fashion retailer Zalando has been forced to defend working practices in its logistics centre after it was targeted in an investigation by German TV station RTL that aired on Monday night.

The broadcaster described working conditions at Zalando as "a climate marked by constant fear" after sending an undercover journalist to work as a picker and packer at the retailer’s centre in Erfurt, which is home to 2,000 employees.

Measurement Development of the HEXACO Model of Personality for Restaurant Industry Customer.

Restaurant business must be customer oriented through identifying customer needs in order to lead to their satisfaction and increased retention. To address this purpose, recent studies stress that tourism and hospitality industry, including restaurant business is to verify customers" psychological characteristics like personality to provide their diverse needs. The HEXACO model has been widely recognized as a psychometric property to measure individuals" personality in the last few decades. This study aimed to explore precision and accuracy, reliability, and validity whether the HEXACO model applies to the study of restaurant industry consumer through Cronbach"s alpha test, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis.

The BIG5 normative personality test is the biggest mistake Psychologists made since several years ago. The BIG5 is also known as the Five Factor Model theory of personality traits, a psychological model based on research by Paul Costa and Robert McCrae.
Academics had begun to publish Scientific Research using the HEXACO model of personality and they plan to discontinue the Big Five model (a.k.a. Big 5, OCEAN or FFI five factor inventory, FFM five factor model) soon. Online dating sites using the Big Five model could be considered obsolete sites, because the Big Five model has been proven as "an incorrect and incomplete model of personality"

The implications of a multi-platform majority:
In the United States, more than half of all digital time spent now comes from mobile devices. U.S. time spent consuming digital content has increased dramatically in past three years due to mobile platforms.
Content is consumed across multiple devices by the same person!
SmartPhones rule the mornings.

Tinder Impostors – Story of My Stolen Identity by Kristin Shotwell

The popular dating app Tinder claims it has made more than 1 billion matches among its users since launching less than two years ago. Too bad not all of them are who they say they are.
http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/hook-line-tinder-scammers-love-dating-apps-n77256
Last month, Kristin Shotwell, 21, was walking home from class when her friend told her that he had seen her profile pop up on Tinder while visiting the University of Georgia in Athens.
http://kristinshotwell.wordpress.com/2014/04/06/tinder-impostors-story-of-my-stolen-identity/
There was one problem: Shotwell, a junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, had been nowhere near Athens at the time and had never signed up for Tinder. Still, she shrugged it off, until her friends sent her a screen shot of a girl named "Kim."

“That is when it hit home, when I saw my face on a bio that had nothing to do with me,” Shotwell told NBC News.
http://kristinshotwell.wordpress.com/2014/04/07/the-quest-for-kim-has-moved-to-birmingham/

Evan Spencer, says that despite the fact that anti-scammer technology is available, Match fail to use such things as face-recognition software – which would have discovered that some pictures were being used hundreds of times.


I still think: Tinder is like Chatroulette but it will collapse like Skout.
Lots of persons want to use it, but nobody wants to pay for it.

A digital marketer found a novel way to game Tinder,

which led to him getting over 800 matches
