Cory johnson is at one of those Fulfillment Centers and tracy, california, about 60 miles east of where i am in san francisco. Is a little different for amazon, isnt it . There are a lot of important things going on at this Fulfillment Center. It is cyber monday and it is the biggest day of the year for amazon and big for Online Retail as well. This is still important because of its location, because there was a time when amazon did not want to have facilities in states like california because they did not want to pay sales tax. They bit the bullet and it allowed them to change their business model. This is in tracy, california. It equal distance, about an hour francisco, san jose, sacramento. All reachable from this facility. Notable because of the robots they are using. A 75 million application. They deployed robots in this facility to change the operation in terms of how the workers work , how they still searching goods when they come in off of the truck. How they pick them when they will go back to a customer. Also how much they can manage. Canon executives say they hold up to 70 more goods here in this facility because of the robots and cram the stuff together and find it later where humans have to squint the squeeze between the rows and stacks. They ship a lot more goods out of here than ever before. Cory johnson, bloomberg editor at large. We will see later in the show. As amazon and other retailers rush to ship orders, they are working to promote special deals and discounts to shoppers. Many countries are turning to twitter to do so. It allows users to buy directly from their newsfeed. Totter is allowing brands send discounts directly to you through its twitters offer product. How much can this ecommerce boost business . Twitters director of retail joins us in the studio. It is a busy day for you. How busy . We have had a lot of great things happening on the platform the last couple of days. Brandsexcited to see engage with consumers, not only pushing offers, but thinking about how i can add value to the shopper. Can they provide behindthescenes information, maybe tips and trips, all to generate a lot of interest. Twitter is not the first thing you think of when you think, i wanted to get a deal on black friday. How do you change Consumer Habits . I spend a lot of time on twitter during the week. I spent little time on twitter this past weekend a lot of time, unfortunately, on amazon. When you think about twitter, it is discovery. We are helping you find what you are interested in in the moment. T can be around is stress around interests you have today but it can also be around shopping. We think the Holiday Shopping is important and we are looking to drive the discovery for consumers. You are testing out a buy button. How are consumers behaving . The button is really exciting, but also very early for us. We want to think about shortening the distance from a consumer talking about the product, ultimately being able to purchase it. This is something we are testing today but we want to take the time to get right. We dont want to rush to get this to market. Ks want to make sure it wor first. We are seeing if consumers are interested. We have a Great Campaign running today. They are promoting the ability to purchase a 30 gift card to twitter and they will get a voucher for a free popcorn of the theaters. If you want to see a film, this is a great opportunity. Is that an exclusive deal . It is an exclusive deal. Is the idea to get merchants to offer exclusive deals on twitter . Exclusives are great. It is about capitalizing on moments of intent. On twitter, you have people asking for advice on what to buy and we want to shorten the distance from the ask to the purchase. What about the commerce products . Again, cant comment specifically on it but really interested to see how consumers are taking about the platform from a commerce standpoint. We are seeing great traction there. What can twitter offer that other companies cant, other platforms cant . We go back to discovery. We have this live, public, conversational platform. We are heavily accessed mobley. When you put it together, it lends itself well to discovery. That provides opportunity for a brand to interact with a consumer. That is important. Buy button out a sooner when you have the biggest retail day of the year over thanksgiving weekend . As a business, twitter is focused on getting it right for consumers. There are opportunities to push products in the market, but we really want to make sure it is right and that it works well first. I think we are just going to err on the side of getting it right versus getting something out. In terms of the business, what is twitters cut . If i buy something on twitter, what does twitter get out of it . We cant speak specifically to those numbers. If we do develop this product effectively and shorten this gap from talking and purchasing, it will work well for brands and we believe it will work well for twitter after business. Chris 3d, twitter director of retail. Open cons down for you the next two days. Or maybe not. Hope it gets busier. Twitter the size to buy a shop, backed by Justin Bieber. You can watch is on your phone, your tablet, and bloomberg. Com. I am emily chang and this is a bloomberg west. Publiclytwitter cfo tweeted last week about plans to buy a company, many in the Tech Community wondered who twitter is targeting. Was, and itt said was a direct message fail as twitter has told us, reports say the target is shots, a selfie app backed by Justin Bieber. It is unclear if any talks are taking place. Twitter gainuld if they bought shots . Joining me now is an early shots investor, jim. I took a shot with our producer. It has been retweeted more than 2000 times. Is a powerful product, indeed. Who are these people . Shots is a community of young adults, teens and betweens, primarily age 1319. The average age is 16. Shots onver 3 million the product. It is growing quickly and all wordofmouth. It started out with Justin Bieber fans and celebrity fans, but it has grown beyond that now. 50 ofpending over that group are spending 20 minutes every day. This is an app that is becoming part of their daily life. Are all these people real . When it comes to bieber, talk about bots. On twitter. Ral these are all real people. I should explain why maven ventures was excited about investing in the company. The vision of the f ounders, two brothers, great product developers. They have been working on building these companies for mobile games for many years before shots. They understand the demographic very well. They want to bring to the world a platform that is made for the young demographic. There is no bullying, but is a fun way to express themselves. People like Justin Bieber and Floyd Mayweather share the same vision. That is why maven ventures got involved. We also believe that the world needs a place where young adults can express themselves in a place where they will not be bullied. I have a 13yearold daughter and 16 year old son who spend their time on the platforms. Even places like instagram which are safe, 46 of young adults are being bullied daily on platforms like that and we think there is a place for young adults to exist where there is no bullying. Everyone wants to know. I dont have any more information than you or other folks. Urine investor. Come on. You are an investor. Come on. Regardless of whether there any truth or not, the company is doing great. We have over 3 million shotties, which is what they call themselves, and it is growing quickly. 50 of them are spending 20. Inutes every day if the founders want to sell, we back them. I think john and sam wanted to build the company for many us to come. The shots have a meeting with twitter on december 15 . I cant confirm or deny that. There is speculation about other companies that twitter has been looking at. I am proud to say that two of the top three armies investor top three are maven venture investments. Tell me how Justin Bieber got involved. The founder of the app is wellnetwork. And they shared the vision of what he wanted to do a shots and justin immediately got this. Public figures like Justin Bieber are putting themselves out there. For better or worse, part of their job, they will get in the media and some of it will not be nice and they will get a lead themselves. They want to create a place for their 50 million fans can express themselves in a way without being bullied. Once they started shots, justin became a cash investor. How involved is justin today . Very involved. He is posting photos. Posed on shots with his mom. She did a shot back to him, which was great. He is using it as part of his daily life. You were toaying if give advice to the founders, dont sell now. On the face of it, it looks like another photo sharing app. What makes shots standout overtime from the other options out there . When we look at investing with them early on, the first thing we ask all of our consumer startups are are you passionate about building a position worth fighting for . What does that mean we have 15 companies in our investment portfolio. A have a vision worth fighting for. There is a problem that needs to be solved that cannot be solved elsewhere. When we look at this, we say there needs to be a Large Community for tens of millions, hundreds of millions of young adults and teens to express themselves in a safe place and nowhere else can they do that. That is why shots needs to exist. It is not just another selfie photosharing app. The product is built in its own way and some of the new features we are launching this quarter and next quarter are going to make it for the unique. Why isnt instagram safe . Instagram essay for a lot of kids. The weight is built, you can comment. When you comment on instagram, a lot of comments are the kids are saying, that sure look stupid. There is no commenting on shots. Everything you do is positive. There is only positive feelings in the community. That is unique within shots. The young adults using it dont even know that. They love the product because it is positive. They never say this is a safe place to be. It is a fun place to be, but they get the emotional connection because there is only positive commenting going on. There is an argument to be made that better twitter integration could lead to a better experience for shots users. That could come with Something Like an acquisition. Clearly, there is reason why there is speculation. You can see a fastgrowing younger demographic for twitter. , and isaid, the founders stand by that i do not think this is the right time. This company is growing like crazy. Beforehed one million facebook and twitter reached one million members. Within the next year or two, i think we will be at tens of millions of shotties. How do you know this is not a trend, not a fad . That is part of what i do. We see 2000 copies a quarter. We see a lot of trends. There is and when vision worth fighting for and 18 that can execute. That is where we make our big bets. Shots hit all of our filters. We thought this could be a billiondollar business. We have been lucky and fortunate at maven ventures. We were able to work with three unicorns. I do not know if you know the terminology. A billiondollar exit company. Of the first employees at the first social network. You might for member friend stir. Barely. We started a Company Called vevo and that became the Third Largest social network. We sold that for almost 1 billion. 800 million. Not quite 1 billion. We will rounded up. The Third Company is called tango. It was recently valued at over 1. 5 billion with alibaba putting some money into it. How do you spot the unicorns . Everyone is trying to find the unicorn. Weis something that we have been doing this for about 25 years. Part of it is sticking to the patterns and filters that we have seen. Going back to, this is a great team, is it a vision worth fighting for . We only do consumer investing. We stick to what we know. We help build these companies and we will continue to do this. Be watching to see if indeed you have found another unicorn. Thanks so much for joining us here on bloomberg west. I will continue to use shots if im going to get 2000 retweets. We will be right back. This is bloomberg west. Joshsays it has discipline moore, who was under fire for using the Company Technology to track a buzz feed reporter.

There are more than 7 billion mobile subscriptions and most of them are on 2g. Many places on earth have 2g coverage but they are not going coverage andg handsets are coming down in price. 10 in ae reduction of smartphone means hundreds of millions of people can acquire it. How does supply meet demand . When you are in the more rural areas, it is a challenging thing. Power is mostly run on diesel. We need to think of ways to get power out there.

Org is very important where we come with technology, they come in ,ith new innovation oh aspects and a company like samsung thinks about the devices coming down in price. You can think about the last billion. What is erickson doing from an infrastructure perspective to make it easier to get the internet ondumber phones in developing country . One thing we are doing in Silicon Valley is we have a lot of testbeds. You need to have apps working on 2g or 2. 5g. Not only on 4g. That is where it is most important.
