Just Tag It

Tired of typing the phone numbers on a business card to your phone address book? Saw an advertisement of a new pizza delivery chain on a billboard while travelling, want to try it but can’t recall the address and phone number? Feeling too lazy to search for the online trailer of the new movie, the poster of which you saw in the shopping mall?

Microsoft Tag comes to your rescue. It works like this:

You create a unique tag and link to the desired information (it can be your phone number, link to a website, product details).

Next time, when someone sees that tag on your business card, poster, advertisement or any other media, they just need to point the phone cam to the tag and retrieve/save the associated information.

Instant information and entertainment.

Microsoft Tag creates unlimited possibilities for making interactive communications an instant, entertaining part of life. They transform physical media (print advertising, billboards, product packages, information signs, in-store merchandising, or even video images)—into live links for accessing information and entertainment online.

With the Microsoft Tag application, just aim your camera phone at a Tag and instantly access mobile content, videos, music, contact information, maps, social networks, promotions, and more. Nothing to type, no browsers to launch!
