What a week! It’s great to be a Micrsoftee in the SBG group: Startup Business Group.
After launching a major update for Microsoft Hohm yesterday announcing an energy score for every single home in the country, today, it’s about Microsoft Tag.
Microsoft Tag is officially coming out of beta with 1 billion Tag out there, check out where you can find a Microsoft Tag:
Coming out of beta we’ve updated our website, the Tag Campaign Manager and improved our Tag Reader clients and also introduced some cool new features that will enhance customers’ ability to create, execute and track creative Tag campaigns:
- A device ID feature will allow marketers to deliver a more personalized consumer experience across multiple Tags. For example, consumers can now receive customized content, such as a coupon or other offer from a retail outlet, based on Tags they’ve previously scanned
- A new .tag file format will make it easier to print and manage a large number of different Tags as part of a broad campaign deployment. Developers of professional printing programs can now generate the Tag graphic on the fly as part of their solution
- Tag has always been available worldwide and has been distributed and deployed globally. We have added localization in five new languages which include: French, Spanish, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Italian
- And finally, we will be introducing a beta Heat Map feature in the next few days, available in the Tag Campaign Manager, that will help companies better measure Tag usage by location and make more informed decisions about their Tag campaigns and overall marketing spend
You can find more about how to implement these features and more over at the Microsoft Tag website.
Try it right now, download the new Microsoft Tag reader on your phone by going on http://gettag.mobi/ and scan this Tag:

A friend from
Winwise have pointed me about Microsoft Surface and a little application that they’ve just developed on top of it to celebrate the new table in their office.
Well done Simon :)

Avez-vous téléchargé et essayé Windows Live Photo Gallery Beta disponible depuis quelques jours. Cette nouvelle monture propose plusieurs nouvelles fonctionnalités comme le tagging par personnes, éditions améliorées…. En plus de cela, il est désormais possible à des tiers (Startups, développeurs…) d’étendre les fonctionnalités par la création d’add-ins. Le premier testé permet d’exporter directement vos photos de Windows Live Photo Gallery Beta vers SmugMug comme vous pouviez le faire auparavant avec Windows Live Spaces et également FlickR tout en conservant les tags et metadatas saisis au préalable.
Donc si vous possédez un compte SmugMug, téléchargez la beta de Windows Live Photo Gallery puis installez l’add-in créé par Omar Shahine. Une fois cette étape passée, lancez Windows Live Photo Gallery, sélectionnez vos images puis faîtes “publier” et “Publier vers SmugMug”.

Définir le nom, catégorie… de votre gallerie photos.


Publiez.. et la magie opère!


Une fois l’envoi de vos photos terminé, admirez vos photos directement sur SmugMug, définissez vos tarifs, styles…

Pour nos amis développeurs, si vous êtes intéressés pour développer un add-in et accroitre ainsi vos capacités avec Windows Live Photo Gallery, c’est par ici.
