New Microsoft Tag Video

August 31, 2010 08:27 by bgauth

I’ve been working now for almost two years on Microsoft Tag. If you’ve never heard about this cool product, have a look to the video that will give you a quick overview of its potential:

Also a cool feature of Microsoft Tag is the custom Tag. You can design a Tag with your logo or a picture as a background. Below one example for R. Scoble that took me 30 seconds to create. If you want to create your own it’s free and pretty fast:

Blogging less! Yes for Social networks…

February 5, 2010 04:11 by bgauth

Blogging less! Why? Spending more and more time on social networks like Twitter and Facebook and others social networks to share my updates and interesting news. I’ve found these mediums a much better and efficient way to share news across my networks and also a better way to read those.

 

Below I’ve created a Microsoft Tag that will redirect you to my Facebook Page. How to use it? Grab your phone, go on gettag.mobi, download the Microsoft Tag application of your phone (iPhone, BB, WinMo…) and snap the Tag:

If you want to create your own Microsoft Tag, it will literally take you 2 minutes using PowerPoint, watch the podcast to make your own.

Below a example of Microsoft custom Tag to check-in on Foursquare, this one will check-in you in the Foursquare HQ, NYC.

My new Business Card with Microsoft Tag or why I don’t like paper

February 10, 2009 05:03 by bgauth

Business Card with Microsoft Tag

I’m not a guy who likes business cards and even more I hate paper! Why? Maybe I try to be “green” but the fact is I want to get everything accessible from anywhere (S+S), I don’t want to waste time with mails...(Ex: I could change my electricity provider if they don’t allow to set up a payment via Internet).

So what will happen If you give me your business card? Will I Destroy it? Humm maybe! No, not yet at least:), I will take a picture of it with my Smartphone and will add you in my Outlook contacts. I won’t collect those in a box. Yes, again I don’t like paper! :)

However today, I received my new Microsoft business cards with a Microsoft Tag on it! What is the difference? I’ve just said that I hate paper!??(you get it now, right?) Now, I just need to show my business card and you’ll snap the Microsoft Tag with your phone and that’s it! I will be in your contacts! No need to keep an additional business card in your pocket, it is already in your contact list! (and synchronized in the cloud if you use Exchange)

I will show you that next week in Barcelona for the 3GSM if you’ll be there!

Should I bring just 1 business card that everyone will Snap?
