A sticky situation..

Thursday, March 11, 2010

Stickybits is an amazing little app that allows you to attach digital information (videos, images, audio etc) to any physical object by simply attaching the content to it's barcode! and if the object does not have a barcode you can stick a stickybit barcode to it and you can virtually tag it as you would with any other barcoded product. A person can then scan the barcode using the iphones camera and get the information. So let's say you are giving someone a birthday card, you can attach a video with a personal birthday greeting to the card and the recipient scans the barcode and see's your video, or you can attach a barcode to your business card which includes a PDF file of your resume or portfolio. Genius idea!

Extra info:
You can download the free app here.

Stickybits is also using SimpleGeo's technology to geolocate the barcodes and show off where they've been scanned! Below is a video explanation:
