In Partnership with go2, MasterCard Offering New Mobile Info Service (ATM Locations, Merchants Special Offers, etc.)

Place this one in your private label category.

Payment News reports that MasterCard card holders will soon have access to MasterCard Nearby. It will provide ATM locations, merchant locations, driving directions and more. Register at:
MCNearby.com or or by calling (877) 877-NEAR.

Is MasterCard partnering with another company to offer this service?
Yes. It's being developed in partnership with go2. MasterCard Nearby users will be able to access the information they deem vital; that information can then be viewed on the mobile Internet or delivered to their mobile phones via an SMS text message. Ongoing access is then available directly on the phone. Once consumers log into the WAP (mobile web) site at wap.mcnearby.com for the first time, they are permanently logged into the service.

We recently posted about a few databases with details about where ATM's can be found around the world. Some, even with maps. Two of the four databases we listed are powered by Visa and MasterCard, all with info about where ATM's on major global networks (Cirrus, Plus, Star) can be found. We also mentioned an interactive voice response service from MasterCard at 1-877-Find-ATM. These services are available to any users.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
