Just a couple of days ago I say a link to a Microsoft project called Microsoft Tag and I decide to check it out.

What is Microsoft Tag?

Everybody sees in all products everywhere barcodes. Did you ever wanted to know what that means? No? Yes? Ok. Doesn’t mather, the fact is that the barcode is a identification of that product.

The interesting think about Microsoft Tag is that you can create your own “barcode”, the tag, that identifies something (e.g. a web link, some random text, a vCard or a Dialer.

But what do I do with the tag???

Well, first you can read that tag with your mobile phone camera. You just have to install the microsoft tag software from your phone web browser from this link http://gettag.mobi, install it, run the program that (that loads your camera), point to a tag and the software does the rest. If the tag is for example a link then the mobile phone links you to that link.

You can do really cool stuff with this software. Please check this links for more information.

Hi,

For some time now i’ve been using (a lot) and loving Twitter. But why? What is so great about Twitter?

Humm… first of all, and the think that it jumps right in front of you is it simplicity. It’s one of those things that everybody says (at least me), “I could make something like that”, or “Why didn’t i think about that?”. Sometimes the coolest and best things are the simple ones :).

The standard themes are nice and atractive, with the possibility to change them as we pleased

But the main reason that Twitter has been so succesfull (in my opinion)  is that… everybody wants to tell what they are doing and know what everybody is doing, maybe because they are doing something important… or not, maybe because we like to use the keyboard… or not, maybe because we need to say something important… or not.

Maybe because we are surrounded by people, we are still feel alone… or not.

PS: sorry for my english.
