What's All the Buzz about QR Codes?

Lately there's been a lot of buzz about QR Codes. What are they exactly, and how do they work?

QR Codes are like barcodes. They are a quick way to scan information using any

of the following:

• iPod Touches (4th generation--with camera)
• iPhones
• Smartphones (HTC, Samsung, Blackberry, etc.)
• Netbooks or laptops with cameras

Download a QR code application from any of the following sites:

• mobile barcodes
• google CNET and search for: NeoReader or QR App for iPhone

Now you can use your device to scan QR codes! The best part about QR codes is that you can generate your own QR codes, for your EPortfolio, for example. I like http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ for example. Gone are the days of business cards and URLs--use a QR Code to personally brand your own EPortfolio website.
