QRme.co.uk launched over two months ago and as well as having news and videos based around QR codes the site also creates both a URL and SMS QR Code for you using data from your user profile. A member forum has also been set up for members to exchange ideas. There are instructions on the site on how to set up a free mobile website to link to your QR Code and the service is free.

lol – laughing at neoreader’s comments….. why would google want to get involved in a patented mess of proprietary protocols.

The reason the are using QR codes is because Denso the japanese developer of QR opened the platform free of all license restrictions and bickering that you, scanbuy and nextcode have caused here in the USA.

As for why reporters like google….well for one thing they actually make money and have real customers.

Cheers,
Dean

By using these kind of techniques, Google distinguishes itself from the other online advertising companies. It has already proved its excellence in providing better results for search queries and now it is holding tight to its lead in advertising.

This quote kills me, “When a person interested in the product being advertised”

Some writers have tunnel vision just because, “Google is doing it!”

What about Google’s main source of income, KEYWORDS?

What if the consumer see’s a logo, trademark, slogan, or a KEYWORD and would like to go to the items web page?

Why does it need to go back to a 2D code? WHO CARES ABOUT THE CODE!!!! Why can’t there be other objects that can be clicked?

What about Neomedia’s patented technology that lets the consumer/web user click on real world objects to find information in one click. Yes, it covers 2D, QR, data matrix, and 1D bar code types such as EAN and UPC. Heck, they even cover RFID.

Personally, I would rather say the keyword as I walk down the street to get information.

What could Google do with that?

Why type? Anyone?
