Watch out over the coming weeks for some great new functionality we're going to be rolling out which will it even better. Thanks again, Tony Lucas Hi,

One can think of new ways to adapt content when looking at what properties are available. Cheers Hi Chris,

I admit, when I first heard the general concept of QR codes, I didn't get it. If you're trying to reach people, why rely on your audience being physically near something, that's well, physical too? How inefficient is that? After actually scanning a few codes, I realised it's about the consumer, not the publisher/advertiser. If you're near something interesting, great, you can scan it and keep interacting. (If not, you won't really mind since you didn't know about it.)

It allows more consistent data coverage for header-deficient requests. In terms of level of service, there's an option where we can install a dedicated data cache and a DetectRight proxy: DetectRight has historically been very reliable, but there's always an element of relying on third parties when you call out to remote web services.

Upon full implementation, BCBP will save the industry over US$500 million annually." I had no idea mobile airline ticketing was so far along:

The idea is that you get your ticket sent to your phone as a QR (or other approved) code, and you show the code on your phone screen to a scanner at the airport.

It's funny to see how that even the greatest of innovations from one year, seem to be nothing more than child's play the next. Love the slideshow chrisp. Hope to see you post again soon!
