LINE 101: official accounts people add as friends
How LINE Official Accounts, the Messaging API, LINE notification messages and MINI Apps work, how LY Corporation prices them in Japan, Thailand and Taiwan, and when LINE is worth adding.

Conversational marketing, minus the hype
A useful definition has to exclude something. This one — the customer's reply changes what happens next — excludes most of what gets sold under the name, and tells you how to staff and measure the rest.
