Mytago - Tag your World
Mytago is an excellent new idea. With Mytago, users can create a link between the real word and cyberspace by means of a barcode like image.
Mytago is very simple to use. Just as barcode links products with data, Mytago links products with web links. The processes is quite simple. First the user creates a unique image, which I will call a tag, then the tag is linked to a URL. The tag can then be distributed through pamphlets, signs, flyers, just about any medium. A person who sees your flyer for example, will be invited to take a photo of the tag with a cell phone and upload the tag to Mytago.com. Mytago in turn will analyze the tag and forward the person to the proper web link you specified when creating the tag.
The application of Mytago is wide. Here is a real world scenario: You plan to sell a car. You create a flyer with all the needed information such as the car’s year, mileage, a photo, car’s condition and so on. You create a tag at Mytago.com and point the tag to a website where you have additional information along with additional photographs of the car that penitential buyers may view without needed to remember a long URL.
Along with a unique image tag, Mytago also creates a unique 12 digit serial number for those folks that don’t have a phone with photograph capabilities.
Visit Mytago today and give it a shot. If you have any comments or thoughts, please post them. We love to hear form our readers.
