Hey there, Tech Savvy fans! This past week has just been packed full of really great things here and it got me on the track of how things are constantly evolving and how that is continually impacting us in our everyday lives. We talk about change a lot in Tech Savvy and even though change is a recurring theme, I don’t really ever feel that we’re “stuck in a rut” on what we look at.

Hey there, Tech Savvy Fans!

To kick things off a HUGE congratulations to Lindsay S. who was the winner of the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD that we gave away in our booth at the Marketplace Show. Lindsay’s new phone will run on the Verizon 4G LTE network and boasts a gigantic battery and blazing speed. She was lucky No. 6 in our random drawing and her tweet on why she needed a new phone was, “My old phone is dying, the screen is getting lines!” Congrats, Lindsay, I hope your new phone works great!

A couple weeks ago I wrote an IMHO about QR (Quick Response) Codes and how I thought they were becoming outdated. I was thinking about it more and thought that rather than just outright dismissing them, I could expound a little on some of the things I see replacing them in the near future. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with QR Codes, they do a job and they do it well. They are also widely used now and that is important to remember. That being said, there are now more and much cooler options out there.

I’ve spent this last week in Dallas with some of my coworkers from other parts of our company and I just wanted to share a little bit of what we got to learn about.

It was a real eye-opener. Anyone who has been aware of some of the changes that have taken place within Facebook or search engine algorithms have probably experienced them first hand but for those of us that don’t follow the updates this will catch you up a bit.
