Microsoft Tag: Microsofts own 2D barcode

[bestSVMS]

what makes this better than the well established qr code. qr is open and stores data in the code, i believe ms tag is just a lookup number, so they can track you and make you pay for its use. And it will proably get hacked and make everyone have viruses

Suzy needs to learn how to act.

What wasted efforts... why don't they just use regular old bar codes?

i scanned some of the tags and they went to the vista red page

I have a tag app on my iPhone. I've never even used it.

Surely Microsoft is making an ironic statement about how they are viewed as an out-of-touch, aging company by the fact that they deliberately chose music that sounds like it came out of a tech ad from the 80s... surely it's not an earnest music choice...

You ARE tagged by MS once you start using it. Unlike QR Code that's being used in Japan. MS Tag does a two way data collection. Then guess who's watching you....

[terredee]

Can you give some reference?

The truth is out there.

[clicchick]

sounds like a great idea... but i'm suspicious if Microsoft's involved.

[JPPT1974]

Sounds like a snap, to get dinner reservations!

[katiewilsonhamaker]

This is a really cool concept. I would love to see it take off... But really, does Microsoft not have enough money to make a better video? Has the recession hit them hard too?
