One thing I would lobby for is the inclusion of a human-readable URL included. Just like barcodes have the number printed below, I think QR codes should have their info printed in text close by for those without camera-bearing smartphones. URL shorteners like TinyURL and Bitly are great for this, giving the lower-tech visitor something to jot down and look at later (or even on-site, as many tablets and such don't have rear cameras). Like QR codes, they can also be used for tracking usage which is neat. --Jake Hildebrandt On Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 12:37 PM, FM Jacinto <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I've experience QR code usage as a visitor.
