Twitter Supports ‘Do Not Track’
The “Do Not Track” movement has one more corporate supporter. On Thursday, leading social media site Twitter announced that it will honor requests from users who do not want their online behavior monitored and reported. With this action, Twitter becomes an official supporter of the voluntary privacy initiative for U.S. companies, which has been backed by the Federal Trade Commission, the Mozilla Foundation and online privacy organizations. A set of best practices for U.S. sites goes into effect next year. In Europe, the mandatory European Union Privacy Directive goes into effect on May 26 for all European-based companies and for multinationals. ‘Tailored Suggestions’ Twitter has begun implementing experiments in “tailored suggestions,” which recommends whom users might want to follow, based on a user’s personalized information. The site points out on its company blog that, as a supporter of Do Not Track, “we will not collect the information that enables this feature” if someone has DNT enabled in browser settings. Twitter has gone so far as to tweet that “we applaud the FTC’s leadership on DNT.” The move by Twitter was praised Thursday in a statement by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who said the action “is something that responsible, competitive companies can do.” Mozilla has recently noted that nearly 9 percent of its desktop users and 19 percent of its mobile users are using the DNT feature in its browser. A Do Not Track option is now available in Mozilla’s Firefox, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Apple’s Safari Web browsers, and soon in Google’s Chrome. But in the U.S., Web sites have the option to comply or not. To assist Web sites in managing and disabling tracking-related third-party tags, Cupertino, Calif.-based Ensighten recently released a free Web tool. Called PrivacyDNT, it allows Web site owners to identify all third-party tags, create lists of which ones…

Oracle Integrates RightNow CX with Fusion
In January, Oracle acquired RightNow, a leading cloud-based customer service solution, adding it to the Oracle Public Cloud suite of integrated services. On Thursday, the company announced that the RightNow CX Cloud Service customer experience suite will be integrated with its Fusion CRM Sales. Fusion Customer Relationship Management is part of Oracle Fusion Applications, which also includes Fusion Middleware and Oracle Database. Among other features, Fusion CRM provides a single view of customers across the enterprise, optimizes sales territories and sales incentives, and centralizes order and fulfillment systems. Customer Interaction = Opportunity The combination of RightNow with Fusion, the company said, combines service interactions from RightNow with sales predictions and segmentation capabilities from Fusion Sales. This will help businesses generate cross-channel customer interactions and increase opportunities for revenue and efficiencies. Among other things, the company noted that the integration will allow sales personnel to review service histories as preparation for sales calls, and can provide information about buying habits of customers. Through the integration, products and services can be better matched to customers’ service history, customer interactions can be better targeted, and new purchasing opportunities for customers can be more readily identified, the company said. David Vap, Oracle group vice president, said in a statement that every customer interaction is an opportunity to grow the business. He added that “customer trust provides an opportunity to increase customer product adoption and to reduce the cost of customer acquisition,” which can increase profitability.

A cloud-based solution such as RightNow, according to Oracle, can result in a reduction of up to 30 percent in labor costs, as well as increased customer retention and acquisition. RightNow combines Web, social, and…
