26/04/07 BeeTagg launch MobileFeeds
BeeTagg launch MobileFeeds, I wonder where the idea is coming from ?
Technology aspect aside (I do not believe in proprietary 2D codes) it seems to me a bit sade,... I like the BeeTagg reader on the phone, it has some interesting features and I might even have some ideas or suggestions for them but it looks like they do not know what to do with it. On the application side they seem to be way behind, and just copying what is out there (which from a business point of view might be enough of course)... maybe there is some opportunities there.
(needless to say this is my personnal point of view)

09/03/07 Orange France will use "Flashcode"
(#) (fr) Orange France will install Flashcode reader on its mobile (currenty only N70 is supported) from Mobiletag.
What I actually do not understand is that they (Orange) claim then they want to "normalize" the use of 2d codes over all three operators in France.
Well then at first why do call it "Flashcode" while the technology seems already to be known as "Mobiletag", then why do you encode shortcode ? why not URL directly when using QR Codes or datamatrix* ?
* well I could anticipate some questions and say that we will change that on our blogs
23/02/07 Denim Code
Well.... is not that an incentive to shoot 2D code ? Barcodes on those Denim pants lead to multimedia content (that changes over time). Denim Code
Next step is to tatoo the code on your skin (or make a business card)

18/01/07 QR Codes on Winksite
"Winksite and Shotcode team up" to offer physical connection (see also the announcement on CEO's respective blogs: David and Dennis)
Nice thing is that they also have QR Code, easy to set up since it is an open standard... I like the way they make it availavle to the end user (go there and click on "Scan QR Code"):
Also check Ode to Barcode (#)
