According to news from the Tag team, there have been over one billion Tags printed worldwide and 20 million of those were in the month of April alone.

These high numbers are in part due to the many partnerships Tag has been involved in recently, including TV Guide, Wheaties, Entertainment Weekly and Women's Day, to name a few.

From this point forward, use of basic Tags will remain free. Anyone who wants to generate a Tag can go to tag.microsoft.com to do so. You can also track Tags and read about other Tag news there as well.

Businesses will have access to value-added services including advanced reporting, analytics and real-time location services. These will be added in the near future. 

A few more new features are also now being introduced, including:

  • A device ID feature which lets marketers deliver personalized Tag experiences. 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
  • Localization in five new languages which include: French, Spanish, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Italian
  • A new 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

Starting with the May 2010 issue, the Tags will be used to link to sweepstakes, recipes, coupons and more, according to Nadia Aly on the Microsoft Tag blog.

After the May issue, the July, September and November 2010 issues will also include Tags. It appears the Tags are being used in advertisements, not articles as Women’s Day VP Carlos Lamadrid is quoted as saying the tags will enable the magazine’s “readers to connect directly with our advertisers’ creative.”

Previously, a Microsoft Tag had to look like this:

clip_image001_3

…a square with differently colored triangles separated by white lines.

Now, you can choose to create your tag with dots instead of triangles. That may not seem like that much, but with the new dot method, you can more easily overlay the dot pattern on top of an image of your choosing. For example:

clip_image003_3

If you want to get more creative, you could integrate the dots into the background image using graphical editing software:

tags_with_dots

When done well, you can’t even see the dots in the image:

clip_image008_3

To encourage people to try out the new dot pattern in their tags, Microsoft launched a contest called the “Tag Slaps Design Contest.” To participate, you just have to create an original customized Tag and creative concept for the accompanying mobile experience. The winner receives a lot of promotion across Microsoft properties including Facebook and Twitter, so it’s clear the contest is aimed towards marketing professionals looking to get exposure for their new mobile campaign.

Microsoft Tag is a new system to help give you a way to direct people to a URL using the camera on their mobile phone. You can think of it as TinyURL for optics, or Cue Cat on-the-go minus the hokey cat reader (hey, I know lots of people who loved that thing). It's actually a great system to visually direct people to a URL, free text, a vcard, or a dialer. You can sign up for free at http://tag.microsoft.com, and download the app for your phone at gettag.mobi. Tag is available for a number of phones including Windows Mobile, Symbian, Blackberry, Android, and the iPhone. 

Tag can link to multiple types of content from web, SMS, e-mail, calendars, maps, or coupons and can be as small as 5/8". There is a great backend as well so you can see analytics on when and where people are reading your tags.
