Microsoft Tag

2009.01.08

Microsoft released something neat today which is kind of like a QR code but links to an online database for the information.  I kind of like this better than trying to embed all of the information in the code.  This allows for a more rich system of tags that link to greater information.  The downside of course is you cant take a picture off of a poster in the airport and install an application without having some internet connection like you can with a QR code.

At any rate here is the first tag I made that links to the ceTwit download page.  I’m going to put it on the downloads page so anyone can just take a picture of it with their phone and direct link to the download page for the applications.  You can get the Tag reader software in the AppStore for iPhone or via gettag.mobi for all other supported phones.
