Alibaba leads $280 million investment in Tango as interest in mobile messaging heats up
– canadianbusiness.com
SAN FRANCISCO – Tango is joining the conga line of mobile messaging services that have turned into hot commodities as more people use them to communicate and share photos, music and other content.
China’s Alibaba Group is making the latest big bet on the trend with a $215 million investment in Tango and its 200 million registered users. Tango, a Mountain View, Calif., startup, has accumulated the audience in just four years since the debut of its mobile messaging service.
Another group of investors that includes Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang is anteing an additional $65 million to raise the total funding round to $280 million.
Alibaba is buying into Tango’s future just a month after online social networking leader Facebook Inc. announced plans to acquire mobile messaging service WhatsApp for $19 billion. That deal came together after another mobile messaging service, Snapchat, rejected a $3 billion takeover offer from Facebook, according to reports in newspapers and technology blogs that cited people familiar with the negotiations…

Joe Fresh’s Mimran reaffirms commitment to helping victims of Bangladesh tragedy
– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO – As the one-year anniversary of the fatal factory collapse in Bangladesh approaches, the creative director of Joe Fresh said the brand’s parent company remains committed to helping victims and families affected by the tragedy.
“There’s been a lot of work done with respect to that,” said Joe Mimran in an interview at Toronto’s World MasterCard Fashion Week on Wednesday. “There’s about 40 brands that are involved, and I know about 15 of them have all committed so far.”
More than 1,100 people died in the April 24 tragedy at the illegally constructed Rana Plaza, making it the world’s worst garment industry accident. Items created for Joe Fresh were among those manufactured on-site, but a number of other clothing makers were also housed in the complex.
Last October, Joe Fresh brand owner Loblaw Companies Ltd. said it would provide short-term financial support to all workers or dependents of New Wave Style (which produced Joe Fresh items) and planned to join with British retailer Primark to provide financial assistance to workers of all retailers in the factory plaza…
