QR codes galore

Although I am seeing QR codes plastered on everything I still don’t know anyone who uses them.  It’s only a matter of time before people start getting QR code tattoos!

Maybe I’m just “old school” and don’t really use my iPhone for much other than calling, emailing and some web browsing, but I just can’t be bothered to take a photo of a QR code.  It seems faster to me to just write down the information I need or type in the website address.

In theory, I like the idea.  Plus, they are cute and mysterious looking, like some ancient symbol from aliens.  But, they are not for me.  Not yet anyways. :)

I think what would make them far more useful and enticing is if people put WHY I should scan them.  Usually they are just added without any direction or incentive.  For example, it could say: "Scan this code for additional photos of this property" or "Scan this code for a $20 coupon".  That would make it more interesting for me!  Maybe I'd become a QR lover then.
