10 Tech Trends for 2010
South By Southwest Interactive is nerd paradise — Austin's annual tech smash has minted its share of Internet darlings. (Foursquare in 2009; Twitter in 2007.) While this year's conference didn't have a clear breakout star, it did offer insight to the trends and ideas that will be shaping the Web in 2010.
The Web has made people more social. But what about objects? That's the thinking behind Stickybits, a startup launched at SXSW that adds a social layer to barcodes. Using the company's Android or iPhone application, users can scan barcodes, attach a piece of information — either a video, note or audio recording — and receive a notification whenever someone else scans the same object. Stickybits also produces unique, one-off barcodes of its own that, when attached to a postcard, for example, add digital memory to static objects. The company sees the codes being used in everything from product reviews to including a digital copy of your resume on your business card.
