I build stuff.
I have a dumb phone, so no QR code for me. I know what they are and how they work, but how do you have one generated for your site? Is it free? 1 time cost? Subscription?
I think there are several sites that generate the code for free. I used this one http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
I didn't know anything about these codes (well still don't) but at first I was thinking there must be a database that keeps record of what code goes with what/where. Then I realized it must just be a coded language and that particular code just spells out my website address.
There is also something in the code that tells the scanner whether to read it as a URL, text whatever else.

Great idea Randy! 
We've been using them at the church in our different publications for event registrations.
Still not sure if people know what to do with it yet, but it will either die out as a fad or people will eventually get used to them.

Die out as a fad? Crap, maybe I shouldn't have gotten this QR code tattoo...

"wisely" I can imagine people printing these on stickers and plastering them on any and every flat surface they can find. I don't necessarily mean people here but I'm surprised I haven't seen it yet.
In the future "taggers" will be spraying these codes instead of their usual cryptic messages :lol:
Yes. Look hard and long enough and it's a picture of Steve.sensor said:is that one of those pictures where you have to 'squint,tilt your head at a 20 degree angle and go cross eyed to see the image' pictures?aka_locojoe said:
Finally got to use the scanner on my new phone. Actually was surprised I got the one on the bike but I guess as long as you don't get too artsy with the pic angle it should work fine. I was actually half tempted on my ride home today to stop and scan a QR code I saw on a parked truck. Didn't feel like potentially being confronted by the owner, but then again he was the one who has it on his truck.
There's already a geocaching type game using QR codes called Munzee.
Basically, someone hides a QR code someplace and publishes the GPS coordinates. You have to go find it and scan it at the coordinates to log the find.
