0 Tried Microsoft Tag Posted by Steve Wong | at 2:28 AM

Wow! Really a great experience!

I have, recently, tried the latest Microsoft Technology - Microsoft Tag.

So, here comes to the question - what is Tag?

Tag is an interactive 2D barcode.
As soon as you snap it with your phone, which has TagReader installed, you can instantly, easily get the information behind the barcode.

Let's try this one.

1. You need a mobile phone with either Windows Mobile, iPhone, J2ME, Blackberry, or Symbian S60.
2. Make sure your mobile phone has internet connection and photo taking function.
3. Visit http://gettag.mobi/ and download the application - TagReader.
4. 

Also, compare Microsoft Tag, QRCode and Datamatrix , actually, Tag doesnt contain any information but only the ID. After the Tag is read by the TagReader, the ID will be sent to the Microsoft Server and link to the final information. So, Tag has a great advantage is that it is smaller in real size than other 2D barcodes.

And I have tried to snap it using my phone. Even my phone have not get the focus, TagReader correctly reads the Tag and go to my blog! WoW!

Congrad~ really an impressive technology!
