2 billion Tags have been printed since the January 2009 launch, and 1 billion of those Tags were printed in the past four months. Sounds like Microsoft has found some momentum, and they claim to have gained a lead in the publishing industry already.

A number of brands have deployed the Tag technology, including Canon, Kellogg, Toyota and Proctor & Gamble. Microsoft says its 2-D barcode technology is currently the publishing industry’s preferred technology by “a wide margin”. Microsoft released a number of statistics on its 2-D barcode technology:

* 1 billion Tags have been printed in the past four months, bringing the total to 2 billion Tags printed since its January 2009 launch.

* The number of Tag users increased by three fold since emerging from beta in May; the number of Tags scanned increased by four fold during the same time period.

* To date, more than 100,000 Tag accounts have been set up to add interactive digital experiences to brand advertising and marketing campaigns.

* Since August, Tag has been used in more than 100 million magazine issues.

* In the largest known barcode campaign to date, Allure had 450,000 scans, using Microsoft Tag for its annual Free Stuff Giveaway issue in August.
