When it comes to Tag, Microsoft's it (photos)
Microsoft Tag is an effort to give printed publications and signs a way to directly link to online content.
Gotta love those tags
Reminiscent of the old CueCat, Microsoft Tag technology uses a two-dimensional bar code to link a print publication to online content. Tag, though, uses a cell phone's camera, rather than requiring a separate gadget.
The splotches in the Microsoft Tag bar codes can themselves be customized, such as this one made of hearts for a wedding magazine.
Tags everywhere
Some examples of Microsoft Tags in action, shown here on a magazine, software box and response card.
Aim here
Microsoft Tags require users to install a small bit of software on their phone and then use that program, along with their cell phones, to get links to online information.
Halo gets a tag
Microsoft included a tag on the box for Halo Wars, seen here.
