Set Sail With Tag
Microsoft Tag was designed to give people a new tool to view and use the internet in innovative ways. The Department of Computer Science of the University of Hull has grasped onto this idea and started to have some fun with it. During their “Mad March Bash” they created teams to go on a treasure hunt utilizing Microsoft Tag to lead the search. The winning team (below) was the first to divulge the secrets of the last clue. I wonder if they talked like this during their treasure hunt?
Rob Miles, a lecturer at the University of Hull, created a treasure hunt guide if you’re interested in trying a “Tag Hunt” of your own.
An example of one clue was
“His birthday is October the 7th. And he is not always nice.”
And the answer….
Keep an eye out; they’re going to be hosting "Everything Must Go, End of Session Bash" later this year, with all new questions.
If you are using tag in creative ways, share your innovations with us using pictures, video, or just plain old text. We’re always looking to share the stories of inventive users taking Microsoft Tag to the next level.

About elemenager
To start off I’m addicted to social technology and new media. I jumped into social tech when I was finishing my MBA and MSL. I’ve used social tech all through my bachelors but I really didn’t see the potential until I was studying virtual leadership, innovation and group dynamics. Seeing that these new technologies are fostering the human element on the web I dove in and never looked back. Since then I’ve been in the industry developing strategies and a wide range of content.
Most recently I was in Honduras working with the natives the “Lencas”, helping in children homes, feeding kitchens, and teaching new self sustaining practices. During this trip I funneled all of the interaction through social networking platforms with rich media in real/near time broadcast to bring awareness to the general public about the harsh realities that the people face there.
I love to experiment and try new things which have lead me to start a variety of niche social networks, podcast, blogs, video and audio productions. Most of these experiments in social tech and new media stem from my love of music, backpacking, rock climbing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, running, triathlons, family and friends.
