Are Twitter ads worth it?; Online mobile shopping to get Christmas boost; Digital currency conference to be held in Oz

StartupSmart
Dear StartupSmart reader,
Australia is set to host an international conference on digital currencywith an event set to take place alongside the G20 Summit in Brisbane.

Brisbane-based Kitovu is gearing up for its first commercial release of its software-as-a-service task and time management product, with co-founder Tom Cameron saying that releasing the software in beta has been a successful strategy for them.

Last month, Twitter allowed Australian startups and small businesses to advertise on Twitter for the first time. We have a look at whether it’s worth it.

Online mobile shopping is going to be driving sales this Christmas season, according to research released by Adobe on Friday.

The managing director of 3P Learning, Tim Power, along with Ben Richardson and Dave Greiner from Campaign Monitor, have taken out the top prizes in the 2014 NSW Tech Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.

There’s no doubt that customer service can be difficult. Here are the five things customers don’t want to hear.

Best of the web: “Sir Richard is a mass of contradictions,” and so begins the Financial Times piece examining the ties between Richard Branson and operating companies using the Virgin name.
