Shein Beats Amazon as Most Downloaded App
According to the data released by app tracking firm App Annie, the rise of Shein is quiet because the company maintains a very low profile, despite exceeding $15 billion in valuation, and does not try to make itself known to the media.
The app is also called as the TikTok for e-commerce by Matthew Brennan, a China-focused internet analyst who wrote a piece about the company.

Amazon is thinking of creating its new gadget, and they are letting their consumers have a say on what it will be. On Feb. 17, the tech giant introduced a new program called Build It.
Amazon Built It program
The Built It program is where Amazon will present different concepts for devices and leave them to the consumers to choose whether they want to built the device by preordering it. So it is in a form of voting in some way, according to CNET.
When a specific concept has reached a preorder goal in 30 days, Amazon will then create the device and the consumers will receive it at a special price. If it does achieve the goal, the product won t get built and the shoppers won t be charged for the preorder of the item.
