QR codes are not new, they have been around since 1994. The 2 dimensional (Quick Response) bar codes have had practical uses on airline boarding tickets and on product lables for stock tracking purposes. What is relatively new is the use of QR codes in marketing.

I received a business card from a real estate agent yesterday with a big QR code on the back - I was impressed. Looks like they are getting around...

I have a hard time to decide which QR code app I should pick for the iPhone. Do you have any suggestion?

Hi Lyceum,

I use the QR Reader by TapMedia on the iPhone. It is free.

Interesting, Beatrice. I've seen them on packages delivered by UPS, Fed-Ex, and the Post Office in the US. I always wondered what they were.

I had heard of QR codes with out really knowing what they are until now of course. Thanks for the explanation, they sound like they could/should take off. Thanks for sharing, Niall
