A QR Code is a barcode containing data that can be read by ur phone or readers camera With QR Codes you can embed your site/blog URL, add contact details for v-card exchange, offer special discounts & more.

I confess I haven't used QR codes hardly at all. I found value in them offline, via the phone so I could visit the site.. I only have one on Mommyland from the mobile plug in. beyond that not so much. I'm thinking "merchandising" for ur business. oops, that is q3 What was the cool site you had? All the QR Code Readers are different, but here's some suggestions
RedLaser is great for iPhone has many uses A2 mainly at resturants like you, I want to start doing stuff locally (off line) so I will be using them more. A2: I haven't really used QR codes, didn't even know they existed until this chat. lol Definitely relate. We love interaction and engagement. Right ? Right, gang ;) uses them in recruiting. I think they are the way to go! I just don't know to incorporate them And we didn't forget Android users! LOL, you can use QR Droid™ Took the words out of my mouth, my dear. I use RedLaser on my iPhone. Been known to scan stuff at store. Cool! RT : uses em in recruiting.I think they r the way to go! I just dont know to incorporate them thanks, glad to be here tonight! RT : And we didnt forget Android users! LOL, you can use QR Droid™ A2: Unless I participate in an Expo, QR don't create the bulk of my site's traffic There r cool sites where u can "get them made" (even free) and download image and place image on print-outs Thank you installing it now. and thanks for the one for the droid for the mans phone RT : And we didnt forget Android users!

I think I am easily amused and "fun factor" MT : A2: Unless an Expo, d/n create the bulk of traffic Many companies are using QR Codes effectively in tv advertising, you may have noticed them on the ads Q3 How can you benefit from using QR codes? MT : A2 mainly at resturants like u, I want to start doing stuff locally (offline) so I will be using more. They were using one in Celebrity apprentice We love putting QR Codes on our promo items, tees, mugs, etc. When it's the only thing on a tee people are curious to scan A3 helps with mobile marketing Good point Da Vinci. I did learn that you can scan from the screen (duh) when doing our image. Great idea! RT : Q3 How can you benefit from using QR codes? Q3 How can you benefit from using QR codes? Q3 How can you benefit from using QR codes? RT : Q3 How can you benefit from using QR codes? A3 As more and more smart phones find their way into the world, QR codes become more helpful for quick scanning. I've heard people say that QR codes are "going away." What are ur thoughts? Gang, what do you think? A3. Great ways to use them would be exchanging v-cards at conferences, seminars etc. Quick, easy way to grab details. Although QR Codes have been around since 1994, they're just now hitting the mainstream, so to say they're going away is a not at all. I can say for sure I see more & more companies using them for jobs and advertising. Its more easier then using the bump app. since you don't need the app tad premature. I think people who are in the tech world forget that people who aren't "techies" are still learning, lol Will we be seeing them throughout The Blog Workshop? so how would you exchange with someone through your phone? let then scan it? I know I forget a lot too About 2 years ago, people said Twitter was going away, LOL...& here we are today, I don't see QR Codes going anywhere soon yea, you could also get a special case too with it on there lol And, even some people (moi) are "late bloomers," even if we are techie. A3: Well i think i've see QR codes on a restaurant placemat that allowed to enter their contest, so that can be beneficial. RT : About 2 years ago, people said Twitter was going away, LOL...& here we are today... If you have the QR Code on a screen/image on your phone/computer/ipad it will still scan If you have the QR Code on a screen/image on your phone/computer/ipad it will still scan ditto on the late bloomer! RT : If you have the QR Code on a screen/image on your phone/computer/ipad it will still scan I keep thinking about the "bored at restaurant.." then, placemat ads for email subscription/download via QR Q4 What innovative ways have you used them effectively? We're definitely going to have a few QR Codes displayed during our Online Conference in May It does! Like our image. Though, 1 of the sides was a trickier angle. I said I was easily amused, right? Cool! MT : Were definitely going to have a few QR Codes displayed during our Online Conference Q4 What innovative ways have you used them effectively?
