Get ahead of the game and start getting them out there. I am seeing them pop up everywhere. I cleaned a house that was closing escrow and I noticed the Realtor had a QR code on the info box. Instead of taking a flyer, you can scan the code and store the info on your phone. Much easier. When it catches on, people will choose to scan your code and have the info stored on their phone instead of taking a business card and loosing it.

It's just a way to bring internet marketing out into the real world...Mags, buildings, vehicles logos etc.
If you don't have a computer handy then scanning with your phone will bring you right to the ad.
I think the beauty or key to it is the "customer" wants to see what will happen next. It's intriquing....Or it can/should be.
Like, "Scan our QR code for your free surprize" Or "See what happens next!"....That's a Godaddy thing.

I wonder how long before computer viruses are embedded.

I dunno, I don't scan them. I can imagine the mischief they could cause.

Scan a qr code at your favorite resty and your phone blows up...How cool would that be?

Instead of writing "call xxx-xxx-xxxx for a good time", they could print stickers with QR codes.

QR codes have no executable files. The only way to get an infection is to get it from a website and to then execute (run) a file with a virus embedded in it.
Again, there is no way a QR code will by itself infect your device.

I guess you could possibly get infected by a code that takes you to a malicious site instead of where you thought you was going. But really this is far fetched IMO & hardly worth the trouble for a Hacker.

would you ever notice if I slapped a sticker leading to one of my sites on top of it?
I'm tempted every time I visit wallyworld to do it.........tons of QR codes in the parking lot
If I thought people actually used them for something other than showing their friends their phone can read QR codes.... I might...............
