To get the conversation started, simply walk up to a person or a group, and say, "May I join you" or "What brings you to this event?" or "What was your worst job" Don't forget to listen intently to their replies. If you're not a natural extrovert, you're probably a very good listener – and listening can be an excellent way to get to know a person.

- #38 Beta-launched in the Philippines, Duets is the world’s first turn-based karaoke app. Users choose a song from the in-app song library, record themselves singing a song excerpt with the help of on-screen lyrics and background music, and then share their recordings with friends who complete the rendition. Initial singing turns are free before users are prompted to make in-app purchases before they can finish the song. The free app is available for iOS smartphones. Link: http://duetsapp.com/
- #39 During Lunar New Year in January 2012, China’s largest e-payment platform Alipay created a virtual ‘red packet’: a digital version of the traditional festival gift of a red envelope containing money. Users set up a cash transfer of up to CNY 2,000 (USD 317) on their Alipay account, then generated a QR code that was shared via email or Weibo. To complete the transfer, the recipient scanned this code using the Alipay smartphone app. Link: https://www.alipay.com/

- #53 WeChat has a directory of restaurants and mall chains including big brand names like McDonalds, Watsons and Pacific Coffee that have member cards and loyalty cards that are ready to use within WeChat. When customers follow these brands on WeChat, these cards automatically pop up offering anything from immediate discounts to long-term perks. While the feature is buried a bit and needs work, it creates great OFF=ON potential for brands in terms of e-commerce and social commerce.
- #54 Stat: As of August 2013, Line has a registered user base of 230 million users - 100 million of them were added within the first 6 months of 2013. 47 million are in Japan but 70% of Line users are outside Japan: 18 million in Thailand, 17 million in Taiwan, 14 million in Indonesia, 15 million in Spain and since its July 2013 Indian launch, 10 million in India. Line usershave sent a total of 7 billion messages and 1 billion stickers.
- #55 In February 2013, Line launched Line Band; a private social network in the style of Path, where friends can arrange to meet, share private photo albums, state their mood and remember important birthdays and moments. The interface resembles a paper notebook with customizable covers and ribbons; like Google Circles, users can form social groups or “Bands” and set notifications and events within certain bands. In July 2013, Band reached 15 million downloads. In April 2013, Line launched its Manga Store app, enabling users to read from its collection of 30,000 Japanese comics. When readers share what they read on their regular Line app timeline, they are rewarded with 10 Line ‘coins’ (in-app virtual currency). In June 2013, it launched Line Novel, an e-book store and reader within the app. While it started with only 3 free e-books, the app has tied up directly with Japanese publishing house, Kodansha to roll out more and even launched a competition inviting readers to write and submit their own e-books with the winner potentially being sold in the Line Novel store. In July 2013, Line launched Line News, which features syndicated news from a range of Japanese news sources and covers anything from politics to gossip and sumo wrestling. In August 2013, Line announced it would integrate Line Music and Line Mall (social commerce) within the Line app interface. In September 2013, Line released an update which included new features like video chats and calls, photo albums that can be shared between specific friends or groups, and Snap Movie – a Vine-style short-video making tool that allows users to record and share 4 to 10 second video clips within the app. Links: Line Band (like Path): http://www.techinasia.com/line-band-app-social-network-rivals-facebook/ Line Manga: http://www.techinasia.com/line-enters-ebook-business-line-manga/ Line Novel: http://www.techinasia.com/line-novel-for-ebooks-japan/ Line News: http://www.techinasia.com/line-news-app-launches-in-japan/ Line Music, Line Mall and Line Video Calls: http://www.techinasia.com/nhn-line-will-launch-music-ecommerce-and-video-calls/ BRANDED BRANDS In September 2013, Line tied up with local Chinese Android app store Wandoujia. Line will be heavily promoted within the virtual store and to tie-up with the promo they’ve also created a bespoke set of emoticon stickers using Wandoujia’s “pea” cartoon mascot. Link: http://www.techinasia.com/line-china-promo-stickers-on-wandoujia/ BOP E-MPOWERMENT/ EMERGING2 In March 2013, Line created a stripped down version for Nokia Asha phones, in the hopes of gaining more Southeast Asian users in the likes of Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia. This version of Line includes features like one-to-one voice chats and 4 free Line emoticon sticker sets. Link: http://www.techinasia.com/line-app-launching-on-nokia-asha-march-2013/ OFF=ON In September 2013, Line launched a series of prepaid cards with stored credit in Japan and Taiwan available at convenience stores 7-11 and FamilyMart. When users enter the on-card code into the virtual Line store, users can buy items like sticker packs or make seamless, in-app purchases within games. The cards open Line’s virtual store to children, consumers looking to gift and allow for non-credit purchases in Japan, where surprisingly only 20% of consumer to business transactions are made via credit card (STAT). Next/Opportunity: To be rolled out their other existing and low credit card penetration markets (e.g. Thailand, Indonesia and India) Link: http://www.techinasia.com/line-prepaid-cards-to-launch-in-japan-taiwan/ E-TAIL/ SOCIAL COMMERCE In Q3 2013, Line announced it will launch an e-commerce and mail order based Line Mall in the style of amazon.com and to rival Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten. Line Mall will allow users of Line applications and its business partners to buy and sell commodities and clothing via their smartphones and either within or synced to the main Line app. Link: http://philnews.ph/2013/08/22/line-reached-230-million-users-planning-for-line-mall/

- #62 In April 2012, Chinese brand Tencent added three features to its free WeChat chat-messaging app, to allow users to connect with each other at random. Via the ‘Drift Bottle’ feature, users can ‘throw’ a text or voice message into a virtual ocean for any other user to retrieve and reply to. Meanwhile, ‘Look Around’ allows users to view the profiles of nearby users, with the option of connecting, and the ‘Shake’ function automatically links any two users within half a mile who happen to shake their phones at the same time.

- #64 Released in Japan during February 2012, Phewtick is a free mobile app that incentivizes users to meet one another. When users meet, they can scan a QR code to record the meeting and earn points. Every 100 points are worth JPY 10, which can be transferred into a bank or PayPal account. In Q1 2013 Phewtick reported a user base of 1 million, and estimated that they had facilitated 10 million meets. Link: http://www.phewtick.com/
- #65 Path launched in November 2010, launched its 3rd version in March 2013. Within the first 24 hours, it debuted free private messaging as well as premium in-app paid emoji "stickers", and made more money (from affiliated revenue) than it had since it first started. It has 6 million users.
- #66 Of course we all know Google Circles, and how buzzed Google+ was because of it.
- #67 Everyme - launched April 2012 in the US. Nothing you post on EveryMe is public; the site doesn’t even offer the user this option. All uploaded data is also privately owned by the user and will be returned to users should they delete their account. Features include: uploading posts, pictures, videos, and links, and divided group contacts similar to Google+ Circles
