Microsoft Tag at the Gizmodo Gallery
Microsoft Tag has made it into a couple big events this week. In addition to being featured at Demo this week Gizmodo hosted a geeky gallery in Soho NYC where old and new tech gadgets are on display utilizing Microsoft Tags. Throughout the event Tags have been implemented on place cards next to each item on display—linking the print material to additional digital information. Some of the items in the geek gallery include the Beatles XBOX to the oldest mobile typewriter.
We were thrilled to attend a preview of the event—the Gizmodo Gallery 09 –on Tuesday in New York. Gizmodo has approximately 70 gadgets and gizmos on display in a museum-like setting, ranging from a selection of vintage gadgets to a 3-pancakes-per-minute machine and never-before-seen cutting-edge technology. Below are some quick pics of the displays where Microsoft Tags are being used.
If your inner geek woke up and you want to see a pair of award-winning Thriller Headphones or peer into the Rosetta disk, then head over to the Gizmodo Gallery. Download the Microsoft Tag app to your phone before you go and check it out!
Stay tuned because we’ll have some video of the event posted in the next couple of days. If you have any questions about the event or Microsoft Tag reach out to us on this blog or on Twitter.

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.
