We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Smoke and Mirrors
Like any other technology niche, mobile tagging is fraught with smoke and mirrors

Like any other technology niche, mobile tagging is fraught with smoke and mirrors.

I had to laugh reading a recent press release for yet another QR Code generation and management site attempting to charge for basic services that are available for free from practically every other provider of QR Code tag management (including Vizitag).

One of the services offered as part of a paid package is to "install" a QR code on your web page or blog. Rather than use copy and paste like the rest of us, or iframe or javascript code if you are bit more technical, you can pay to have your QR Code installed for you...Give me a break!

What's more you can pay extra not to have a "Powered By XYZ" at the bottom of your code image. Something the vendor is adding anyway and won't be there if you just get your QR code from Google for free. Mad, quite mad. The cheeky monkeys.
