<p><strong>TIECON:</strong></p>
<p>This is <strong>Mr. Sameer Saigal (sameer.saigal@alabot.com)</strong>, our point man in Malaysia. He is sitting at the Alabot booth at the recently held TieCon in Kuala Lumpur.<a href="http://tiemalaysia.org/" target="_blank">(http://tiemalaysia.org/</a>).</p>
<p>The conference was for 3 days with some excellent speakers. The Alabot team met up with a lot of potential customers and just being there has helped us a lot.</p>
<p><strong>FUNDING:</strong> We secured our funding from a global innovation fund. This money is going to be spent on extensive R&amp;D and rolling out very focused applications for the telecom industry.</p>
<p><strong>MORE</strong>: A partnership with one of the regions largest telecom operators has been inked. They will use the Alabot engine to enhance their ringtone, callback tones, wallpapers and game download vertical. This application is going to substantially increase their downloads and will be available in 4 languages.</p>
<p>A hectic but extremely fruitful trip.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our main algo has become stable  and we now started working on rolling out the next iteration (MGFA) which is more intuitive and intelligent.</p>
<p>Based on the feedback from our partners and user requests, we have incorporated modules and tweaks which will further reduce the time taken to complete a transaction on Alabot.</p>
<p>It also has an enhanced context switching module which allows us to mesh more than one vertical into one. We would be launching the travel vertical with the movie vertical to test this concept.</p>
<p>(Alabot travel on gtalk is only doing bus tickets for now &#8211; the flight API is being updated with the new algo)</p>
<p>Will send a mail as soon as its done.</p>
<p>Gday All</p>
