Lately I have been seeing lots these small black and white like barcodes on many sites and in different places, so today I chosen to decipher these codes.
If you do a lot of your browsing on a mobile device I can guess you have already seen the thousands and thousands of the small squared boxes on many of the mobile sites. And most recently seen them on T-shirts, posters and also banners in many places including hangout joints!
These small boxes known as Quick response (Qr) codes are taking over the mobile world, almost all technology bloggers have them on their sites and even the established websites like Wikipedia, BBC, Google are all using them for their mobile sites.
The technique behind these Qr codes is that one has a Qr reader installed on their mobile device which then decodes the information in the Qr code, which could be a url, plain text or any other alpha numeric information stored in the code!
So if you have a device running android any version or the Iphone OS go straight to the respective App markets and download a Qr reader / scanner, there are lots of them install one on your device and your good to go. Try this....
There is this site (http://tinyurl.com/5dd59g) where you can have your Qr code created, visit and make your own Qr code then go ahead and share it with others!
Well so next time you see a Qr code don't freak just pull out your phone and scan or read the Qr code and enjoy the benefit of accessing information in a supper fast way.
