Making the most of QR codes - iMediaConnection.com
Interesting Arcticle on QR Codes...are consumers blind to them?. Are they just a gimmick...the author of this article believes that as the readers get embedded into smart phones automatically they will be become more popular. I thought it is an nteresting use of QR Codes for ebays physical shops. A good example of driving consumers from offline marketing to more dynamic, and engaging content online

What is NFC?...
Near field communication, or NFC, allows for simplified transactions, data exchange, and wireless connections between two devices in proximity to each other, usually by no more than a few centimeters.[1] It is expected to become a widely used system for making payments by smartphone in the United States. Many smartphones currently on the market already contain embedded NFC chips that can send encrypted data a short distance ("near field") to a reader located, for instance, next to a retail cash register. Shoppers who have their credit card information stored in their NFC smartphones can pay for purchases by waving their smartphones near or tapping them on the reader, rather than using the actual credit card. Co-invented by NXP Semiconductors and Sony in 2002, NFC technology is being added to a growing number of mobile handsets to enable mobile payments, as well as many other applications.[2]
The Near Field Communication Forum (NFC Forum) formed in 2004 promotes sharing, pairing, and transactions between NFC devices[3] and develops and certifies device compliance with NFC standards.[4] A smartphone or tablet with an NFC chip could make a credit card payment or serve as keycard or ID card. NFC devices can read NFC tags on a museum or retail display to get more information or an audio or video presentation. NFC can share a contact, photo, song, application, or video or pair Bluetooth devices.

NFC ‘for sale’ signs to appear across the UK
By Sarah Clark
| nfcworld.com | November 8th, 2011 NFC tags and QR codes are being added as a standard feature on UK real estate agency chain Strutt & Parker's property 'for sale' signs.
HOT PROPERTY: Tap the board outside the house to get full specs by email
"We are currently trialling the system with eight offices across the UK before hopefully rolling out to all our other offices in the New Year," Strutt & Parker's Charlotte Hessey has told NFC World. The agencies will offer the feature for all properties where it can be scanned, she added, whether on foot or by car — wherever it is safe for buyers to park up.
The "smartboards" have been provided to Strutt & Parker by property signage specialist Kremer Signs and allow buyers to scan a QR code or NFC tag to obtain immediate information about the property in question. The introduction is being timed to coincide with the launch of the company's new mobile website and will allow smartphone users to access full property details including floorplans and photos as well as to request further information or arrange a viewing.

"This is remarkable and groundbreaking technology," says Kiersty Long, head of digital marketing at Strutt & Parker. "We feel confident that it will open new doors in marketing our properties."

Hicel launches NFC business cards
By Sarah Clark • nfcworld.com • 28 June 2011, 13:23 Korean manufacturer Hicel has introduced a digital business card that combines the features of traditional cards with NFC functionality.
The business cards include both an NFC chip and a QR code and provide sufficient memory capacity to store far more information than can be printed on a traditional business card. Ideas include the addition of an individual's CV and work history, links to websites, Twitter handles, LinkedIn and Facebook profiles and more.
We are investigating how we can use these cards with our TAGs.... we want to be able to print the ihopto TAG image onto the card and then have the best of all worlds.. A business card, a QR code, NFC Chip, with our TAG to show multiple web pages.

Who cares what your domain is ?.
Ok you found that the website domain you wanted has already been taken...you have searched .com, co.uk, .net .xxx, .co, .org etc etc etc and someone has already taken them, and whats more frustrating is when someone has taken them but not linked them to anything!.. So you know they are out there, wasted, but potentially waiting to take your idea!.
But who cares what the URL is! if you advertise your ihop.to TAG....why advertise your URL.. no one can remember them these days, and they are all being shortened for social networks so whats the point of spending 1000's to get the right domain.
How about just getting a unique ihopto TAG before your competitors do. Then all you do is advertise your TAG - an easy to remember word, words, or phrase...They search for it on ihop.to and "hop" straight your pages....(who cares what the URL is! - all they have to do is remember the unique words in your TAG!
Oh and we have a URL shorterner too, each TAG is automatically assigned a short URL for the results search so it can be used on your social sites!..

Reduced the cost of your click throughs for your Adwords......
Buying a single word for an Adwords can be very expensive for every click. i.e. pick a word like Advertising and you could be paying a large amount for every click, with a large number of companies, competing and paying for the same Adword. Pick a 5 word adword like "Advertising that is more effective", and the cost is significantly reduced, and competitors bidding for the same adword will be reduced.
So how do you direct your users to use that search term....by showing the words in your offline advert.
Instead of showing your URL - direct your users to the searches you want to make them in Google.
Why use an ihop.to TAG to do this?. Effectively you can reserve your words (the ones you have made into Adwords) so no one else can use them in their advertising. Once ihop.to becomes an excepted method of showing "words" to be used on advertising instead of URLs then you would be ahead of your competitors.
We are a company offering a unique product. A number of business provide processes for aggregating URLs but no one offers the integrated package of QR codes, TAG images, URL shorterners and support for getting the TAGs known.
Claim your TAGs now - use them on your offline Marketing and watch the costs of your click throughs reduce....

How to make your Adwords more effective
Most online advertisers use their own web URL on their offline advertising. Often this is to the homepage, with links on the homepage to the pages linked to what has been advertised. A large number of advertisers don't redirect their readers to the right web page making the point of placing the URL on a advertisement redundant.
Unless a reader, or watcher or an advert is sitting on a computer while reading it is unlikely they will remember the URL that is advertised. Instead they are far more likely to remember a couple of keywords from your advert and use them in a search engine later on.
If you have integrated your campaigns with an SEO campaign and have bought Adwords or a featured listing you are reliant on your readers/watching picking the right keywords to search for your web pages, or you have had to buy a larger number of adwords to ensure that they are searched on.
Having an ihopto TAG can significantly increase the hit rate on your selected adwords. Imagine using your Adwords as your TAG. Show them on your advert and ask your audience to use them in their search - ihop words are unique to each country so your competitors will not be advertised their Adwords.
Attached is an article on costs - these will reduce with an ihop.to TAG

Make a great noise and win chicken for a year....
This is a unique approach for a fastfood/restaurant company to drive their customers to their online world. They have created their own vanity URL with a website to allow people to upload a noise to Utube. They can TAG their noise with "UltimateNandosNoise" which allows users to find the videos via the Utube site.
The page also allows users to Like their facebook page.

mirror vs diamond..
http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/60DzmL/venturebeat.com/2011/10/17/chris-poole-identity/
This is an article that follows up a previous post I had added on online identities.
As you have seen from previous posts here at ihopto we feel that a TAG can give you an online identity.
These articles raise an increasing isssue on who you are on the internet. I like the theme from this article that "facebook treats our identity as a mirror - they assume we want to reveal everything, while we really are a diamond with multi facets" . Although I would argue that now with the "categorisation" of friends that came with the new upgrade of facebook means that your post and updates can effectively be segmented. I guess they have sort of recognised this issue.
Our idea is for users to use different TAGs for different links. One TAG for the sites you want to share with friends, another TAG for those sites you want to show with family, and another for professional sites etc..
