Just one of the cool things you can do with an Android phone........


Use your barcode scanner on your phone, scan the barcode below, then follow the link in your browser on your phone!!



Im really digging Android. I really like the Shazam App to identify songs I dont know the name of. Just let Shazam listem and 99% of the time it will find the tune for you!

Yeah, just a link to this site, but it is fun! This is a great way to send messages in code, maybe advertise a party or something where you have to have the camera/barcode scanner to advertise the party. Send a note to someone in prison that your gonna bust them out (i know, they shouldnt have a phone like that in prison) but a good way to send a coded message!

A friend of mine put one of those square barcode things on the back of his business card and it contains his contact info and a link to his website.

I'll bet hundreds of people used it. Right?

Still printing it on something makes at least some sense. I've seen it in a museum for instance and it would link you directly to a detail page on the item. Not that you couldn't simply click on a map of the museum and then on a picture of the item.

Still, when people place these barcodes on a website that's just ... well ...
