Bringing PS to your smartphone
By now, you have probably become accustomed to reading your favorite newspapers and magazines in both print and online formats. There are websites you visit on a regular basis, be it several times a day or weekly, for news, entertainment, shopping and the like. The digital world has truly become an integral part of our everyday lives.
In light of this ever-expanding online culture, you may have noticed, in the world of print media and beyond, little square barcode images known as “smart tags” — a feature Premier Surgeon hopes you will find useful in this and all future print issues. Along with our sister publications from SLACK Incorporated, PS has incorporated smart tag technology to help bridge the gap between print and online.
“But what does a smart tag do?” you may ask. For those of you with an iPhone, you can use an app, like ScanLife, to scan the tags, found within several articles throughout this issue, to view the article online or be brought to a piece of related content. Once online, you can then do things such as provide commentary on the article, share the item with your colleagues via email or post the link to your Facebook and/or Twitter accounts.
We hope you enjoy this feature and would love to hear your feedback. Feel free to send us an email at the address below.
