Not really because then I have to type a bunch of characters instead of just clicking a button.
QR Codes are nice macros, in the right places. They don't necessarily belong on every uncovered surface, but in many cases they can transfer a relatively large amount of data quickly and easily.
I think we're still figuring out QR Codes and the proper applications of them. I remember usenet discussions in 1996 asking "Why did Ford put a URL in their commercial? Why do I need/want that? What do I do with it?"...
- will_work4tears 14y agoI guess I'm old and inept, but I've never gotten a QR code to scan properly with a "click of a button."
- commandar 14y agoOdd. I've never had any trouble scanning them, even on my old G1. The camera on that thing had trouble with normal UPCs at times.
- sopooneo 14y agoI think there should just be a font and border standard that is easily isolated and orc'd. That would make the human readable url and the device scannable URL one in the the same. But I realized something about QR codes. Though they can contain any text, the vast majority of the time they're URLs. But they're not just base URLs. They contain query variables that people couldn't be bothered to type in, but which let the advertiser know which exact code (or which print run at least) was scanned.
