Seeking Beta Testers for Taganize: A Finnish made Android NFC Tag & QR activator

[ubuntumansuomi]

Greetings Fellow Ubunteros,

My name is John Tengström and my startup "Taganize" recently soft launched our beta version of the Taganize cloud services platform and Android app and I would like to share this information with everyone.

Before, I get started, I would like to note that I attempted to find rules regarding this type of post and did not find anything restrictive. Thus, I trust all is A-OK

In a nutshell, Taganize manages and tracks your NFC and QR tagged assets within the Taganize App and Cloud Service Platform.

Key Features include:

- Manage and track your NFC and QR tagged assets from your NFC enabled Android mobile device.
- Redirect NFC and QR targets without the need to rewrite or reprint NFC tags or QR codes.
- Write Taganize short-links to NFC tags directly within the App with ease.
- Analytics for tracking number of views
- QR code generation
- Anything that has a URL can be tagged with Taganize
- Sync feature

App screen shots can be found here and are best viewed in slideshow view. EG: slideshow--> Full Screen Slideshow

Taganize can also enable other interesting aspects like Youtube video hacking. Example:

This would be useful if you want to keep a great video online but update product information from time to time.

If anyone would like to become a beta tester, I would be very happy to set you up with a Taganize account. All I would need is your email you use on Google play because we distribute the app via Google Groups, EG "Taganize beta", while managing bugs through the group as well. Additionally, I need to send an invite via Google groups to you which upon acceptance provisions you into the system.

If you use Jolla, please let me know as we haven't had any Jolla users thus far.

Anyone interested can send me an email to info@taganize.com requesting a beta account and I'll get you hooked up.

Finally, Taganize is holding workshops in Helsinki at Aalto Media Factory in Arabia. Please see this link for more info. I look forward to seeing you there!

About 3D printer designs, laser cutter designs and vinyl cutter designs.

Anything for the 3D printer should be created in Rhino

The vinyl cutter is connected to a MAC running Adobe illustrator.

As per the laser cutter, I use Inkscape for my designs and save in eps file format. The laser cutter is connected to a windows machine which uses Corel draw to send commands to the laser cutter. Materials that can be cut include plywood, MDF and acrylic.

Support will be offered to use these machines.

If this interests You stop by!

See you Tuesday!

John
