Hakuyosha Clean Living has installed lockers at a second Honolulu location to provide 24/7 laundry and dry cleaning drop-off and delivery.
The company was the first in Hawaii to offer the service when it set up lockers at the First Hawaiian Center on Bishop Street last summer. The new location is in the lobby of the Pacific Guardian Center’s Makai and Mauka towers, 733 and 737 Bishop St., respectively.
To use the lockers, customers should first create an account by downloading the Hakuyosha mobile app or texting “CREATE” to 808-201-2122, or via hakuyosha.com Opens in a new tab. After placing clothes in an empty locker, customers can text the locker number to 808-201-2122 or place the order via the app or website. When the clothes are ready to pick up, Hakuyosha will text and/or email the customer with the locker number and four-digit access code.
A personal ID bag and tag for use with future drop-offs is provided with the first delivery. Prices and turnaround time are the same as at Hakuyosha outlets.
TWITTER TO SLASH MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS
Twitter will begin removing tens of millions of suspicious accounts from users’ followers today, signaling a new effort to restore trust on the popular but embattled platform.
The reform takes aim at a pervasive form of social media fraud. Many users have inflated their followers on Twitter or other services with automated or fake accounts, buying the appearance of social influence to bolster political activism, business endeavors or entertainment careers.
Twitter’s decision will have an immediate impact: Beginning today, many users will see their follower numbers fall. While Twitter declined to provide an exact number of affected users, the company said it would strip tens of millions of questionable accounts from users’ followers. The move would reduce the total combined follower count on Twitter by about 6 percent.
Twitter officials believe that the new policy will disrupt the marketplace for fake followers and curb abusive practices used to create fake accounts. Since suspicious accounts will now be stripped from users’ followers, the company hopes there will be less incentive to purchase fakes in the first place.
ON THE MOVE
