Do you QR Code?

We've been intrigued by QR Codes of late. Although, these 'complicated barcodes' have been around for years - mainly in Asia (where the smartphone market is HUGE), for some reason or other they have only infiltrated the Aussie market over the last few years.

These QR codes are popping up all over the place now in all sorts of forms from print ads, to bus shelters and at cafes. In our investigations and scanning frenzy here are a shortlist of what these pixelled beauties can do for you:

You can browse to a website.
You can bookmark a website.
You can make a phone call.
You can send a short message.
You can send an e-mail.
You can create a vCard with coordinates to add a contact to your device.
You can create a meCard to add a contact to your device.
You can create a vCalendar event to add to your calendar.
You can create Google Maps URLs.
You can create Bing Maps URLs.

Crazee-hey?! Try them out, scan a few and you may be pleasantly surprised with the results (if you are on a iphone, you will need to download a QR code reader which is free). But, first of all scan ours and LIKE us on Facebook!
