We all know that “QR Codes” have become a ubiquitous phenomenon here in the United States. Those square 2-D bar codes are present everywhere; ads, billboards, bus stops, product packaging, etc

However, statistics show that there has been a new resistance for people to invest time and energy into getting out their phone, opening up a QR Code reader app and then scanning the 2D bar code.

Why the resistance? Bad past experiences. If you go through the time consuming motions of scanning a QR Code, you deserve a nice experience as the end result, not time wasted, and marketers to date, have not delivered!

Understanding this, ShoutOmatic cleverly created a new “experience” for the QR Code.  ShoutOmatic brings “Voice” messaging to life on anything “printed” and uses the ubiquitous QR Code to deliver the sound to a users smart phone.

To overcome the “resistance” aspect of scanning QR codes, they put a unique border around the 2D bar code with an “audio” symbol projecting out from the code.  This powerfully signifies that when you scan the “Shout QR Code” you will “hear” an audio Voice Message!

ShoutOmatics’ “Shout QR Codes” are being used by Artists’ to keep up to date with their fans with Voice messaging their Merchandise.  Brands are placing the “Shout QR Codes” on ads, billboards, product packaging and POP Displays!

When you see this “trademarked” border around a QR Code, please know that your time will not be wasted and that you will have an incredible experience when you scan it!

Every ShoutOmatic “user” gets their very own “Shout QR Code” that automatically, dynamically updates every time they “Shout”

“Fiscal Cliff” put in a much better perspective.

Lesson # 1:
* U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
* Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000
* New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
* National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
* Recent budget cuts: $ 38,500,000,000

Let’s now remove 8 zeros and pretend it’s a household budget:

* Annual family income: $21,700
* Money the family spent: $38,200
* New debt on the credit card: $16,500
* Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
* Total budget cuts so far: $38.50

Got It ??…….OK now,
Lesson # 2:
Here’s another way to look at the Debt Ceiling:
Let’s say, You come home from work and find
there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood….
and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.
What do you think you should do ……

Raise the ceilings, or remove the shit?

in International Class 38.

The Certificate is an important document and constitutes prima facie evidence in court of
Shoutomatic, LLC’s exclusive right to use the mark in the U.S. in connection with the above-
listed services. The original Certiŕicate of Registration should be tiled in a safe place with other

ShoutOmatic just went live with a very powerful new technology that allows any of your “links” for Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Google+, etc to have a “Voice Message” heard FIRST, before your Followers are directed to your final link destination! WOW!

After your Shout is heard the Shout page can auto-resolve to any page on the internet; Web page, shopping page, iTunes Store, Facebook page, Youtube Video, coupon codes, etc.

When you create a “Shout” in ShoutOmatic, you can now enter a “Post Shout” URL destination that people will be landed on AFTER your Shout is heard! In this example below, after my Voice Shout is listened to, the listeners browser immediately resolves to http://TheSocialNorm.com
