ABC CLICKS: Remembering stuff with texting

I originally covered Houston-based qtags for Tech Now. I thought it was an interesting concept so I revisited with Allison Gower and covered it for ABC Clicks:

"The premise behind qtags is to help people remember things, advertising, promotions, content, help them remember those things, and bookmark them so they're easy to find, easy to retrieve later on when they have more time to research and access them online," said Allison Gower president and founder of qtags.

So how does it work? Basically you see an ad or product you're interested in and if it has a qtag, then you text message the product name to 78247 which spells out qtags. Next thing you know, you'll have a text message back with more information for the product on your phone. You'll also have an account set up on the qtags web site that will save your searches so you can look them up later.
