Facebook, Twitter and other Western social media websites have been blocked by Chinese censors for years. Despite various efforts from various social media leaders, western social networking sites have not be able to enter China. Until now. New York Times reported, Facebook has authorized the release of a new app that does not carry the company’s name in an attempt to find a different way into China.

The photo sharing app called Colorful Balloons was released in May, which shares the look, function and feel of Facebook’s Moments app. New York Time also reported, according to a person with knowledge of the company’s plans, the app was released through a separate local company and without any hint that the app was affiliated with Facebook. Youge Internet Technology released the app in Apple’s app store in China, without any information that could connect them with the social media giant.

VCCircle reported, in response to an email query a Facebook spokesperson said Facebook has always been interested in China and are, therefore, spending a lot of time to understand and learn more about the country. “Our focus right now is on helping Chinese businesses and developers expand to new markets outside of China by using our ad platform,” they added.

China has the largest online market in the world and this anonymous release of an app by a major technology company shows the desperation and the frustration of global tech companies in their inability to break into this lucrative market.  At present, more than 700 million internet users in China currently use homegrown social networks such as Tencent Holding’s WeChat and microblogging service Weibo. The Chinese authorities have also partially blocked Whatsapp, which is owned by Facebook, in an attempt to ramp up censorship of social media and messaging platforms. The Chief Executive Officer of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly tried to woo the Chinese authorities by learning Mandarin and by attempting to sell a book by the President of China, Xi Jinping, but to no avail.

PayU Gets Final RBI Nod to Operate as Payment Aggregator Ahead of 2025 IPO

Published

on

PayU

PayU India, owned by Prosus, has received final approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an online payment aggregator, a year after getting in-principle approval in April 2024. This authorization allows PayU to onboard new merchants and offer digital payment solutions, joining other major players like Razorpay, CCAvenue, and BillDesk.

The RBI’s nod comes as PayU prepares for its planned IPO in the second half of 2025, following a delay from its original 2024 timeline due to market conditions. The company, which serves over 450,000 merchants, reported $319 million in revenue from its core payments and credit business in the first half of FY25.

PayU stated that the approval will help it build a resilient, compliant, and innovation-driven institution, supporting merchants of all sizes and advancing the Digital India vision. The company has also strengthened its risk management and expanded its presence in real-time payments through a strategic stake in Mindgate Solutions.

Google’s Iconic ‘G’ Logo Gets First Update in 10 Years

Published

on

Google has refreshed its iconic ‘G’ logo for the first time in nearly 10 years, replacing the familiar solid blocks of red, yellow, green, and blue with a smooth, vibrant gradient that blends these colors seamlessly. This subtle update gives the logo a softer, more fluid, and modern appearance, aligning with Google’s evolving digital identity and current design trends.

The new gradient transitions smoothly from red to yellow, yellow to green, and green to blue, making the logo more visually appealing and adaptable across various devices, especially on mobile platforms. This redesign also reflects Google’s growing emphasis on artificial intelligence, echoing the gradient style used in the branding of Google Gemini, the company’s AI-generative assistant.

The updated ‘G’ logo has started rolling out on iOS through the Google Search app and on some Android devices, particularly Pixel phones running the Google app beta version 16.18. However, most other platforms, including the web and non-Pixel Android devices, still display the classic solid-color logo. A wider rollout is expected in the coming weeks.

So far, Google’s main wordmark and other product logos like Chrome, Maps, and Gmail remain unchanged. Given the shift toward gradient designs and AI-inspired visuals, similar updates to other Google icons may follow in the future.

In summary, this first major update to the ‘G’ logo since 2015 signals a subtle but meaningful shift in Google’s branding strategy, blending tradition with innovation as the company deepens its focus on AI and modern design aesthetics.

Ixigo Halts Bookings for Flights and Hotels to Turkey, China

Published

Ixigo_StartupStories

Indian online travel platform ixigo has suspended all flight and hotel bookings to Turkey, China, and Azerbaijan in response to these countries expressing support for Pakistan after India’s military strikes-dubbed ‘Operation Sindoor’-against terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The move, announced by CEO Aloke Bajpai on X, was described as an act of solidarity with India during heightened diplomatic tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack.

ixigo’s decision aligns with similar actions by other Indian travel companies, including EaseMyTrip and Cox & Kings, which have also restricted travel services to Turkey, China, and Azerbaijan. The suspensions come amid widespread calls for boycotts after these countries condemned India’s military response and backed Pakistan.

The travel industry’s collective response underscores how geopolitical developments are influencing business decisions, with Indian companies emphasizing national interests and unity in the face of international criticism
