#22Are these things rfid under another name? If so, what rfid tech do they use? I have an rfid tag implanted in my hand that I'd love to find a use for in this context :)
As I understand it, NFC is similar to RFID, but RFID provides one-way communication, while NFC provides two-way communication. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, you could say that. Lots of the features are simply writing uris that trigger intents. That said, they're selling passive tags for $3 each. The user who buys that is likely not going to know how that placing a uri on a tag is easy and free...
