This makes a ton of sense. It's incredibly surprising nobody has done this / publicized it already. Win. (I ran into an error trying to connect with fb; second time worked.)

With the proliferation of barcode readers, it becomes more and more apparent that traditional applications that rely on these codes: item tracking and warehousing have no built-in security, some even allowing direct executable code injection via barcodes. http://www.securitytube.net/Hacking-Barcodes-video.aspx http://www.securitytube.net/Hacking-Barcodes-video.aspx

Nice! Also: "simpleqrcode" app on android market allows you to encode your contact info into a QR code directly.

  Hey, I would like to see your app, but it is not found when I use "Android market" on my Nexus One. Perhaps your app is on another market place?

    Install "Barcode Scanner" (available in the default android market). Open a contact (I am listed in my own contacts list), hit menu, select share, select Barcode Scanner, see a QR code on your screen that someone else can scan.

    Looks it got pulled in the meantime. Oops. Looking at it now it says in light gray letters at the top "for docomo" so maybe it was some kind of beta that I accidentally downloaded. Here's a link to author's blog - there are examples of using zxing library for generating the QRCode. HTH. http://d.hatena.ne.jp/tomorrowkey/searchdiary?word=*[qrcode] http://d.hatena.ne.jp/tomorrowkey/searchdiary?word=*[qrcode]

Nice but this is basically what http://www.p8tch.com/ http://www.p8tch.com/ has been doing for years with real qr codes. You get a patch with a qr-code that you can redirect to any URL you want. I have one on my backpack, sorry for the awful picture: http://i.imgur.com/DvyCy.png http://i.imgur.com/DvyCy.png

The site does a real nice job of explaining what without giving me reasons why.
