Microsoft Gives Up On Its Tag Barcode Service, Schedules It For Shutdown In 2015 | |
|
||
| Time: 14:33 EST/19:33 GMT | News Source: TechCrunch | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

n 2009, Microsoft launched its own version of QR codes called Microsoft Tag. Back then, QR codes were the hot new thing, but the reality, of course, is that they never caught on with consumers. Today, Microsoft announced that, in accordance with Tag’s terms of use, it will shut down the service on August 19, 2015. Very few people will be sad about this, but for those who are, Microsoft has chosen ScanLife, a company that specializes in QR codes, to provide its users with a transition path so they will be able to run their campaigns using Microsoft Tag on the ScanLife platform. ScanLife will start supporting Tag a month from today. Basic transition will be available for free, and users with more complex needs can sign up for paid packages starting at $69 per month. | ||
