Go Around The Tech Corner…

Hey folks! Hope u all are having a splendid Christmas vacation! I just stumbled onto something that I think has so much potential in changing the way we communicate socially over smartphones and dive right into the social media hype! This has got to be a breakthrough! Lol..

I’m sure you’re all wondering what I’m flaunting about! OK – first things first! What are QR codes? QR is short for Quick Response and a QR code is a matrix barcode, readable by QR scanners and smartphones. Yep, got that definition from Wikipedia, but you must read about it, it’s pretty interesting! Basically, QR codes decode data in different and faster ways, into these 2D barcodes, like shown below.

SPARQCode

These codes can save data like phone numbers, sms messages, maps, website urls, contact information – almost everything; even the random text that you just type – like this blog post! SPARQCode has an amazing API that can allow you to generate the barcode images, with their QR Code Image Generator.

I talked about the great potential that this technology brings after browsing through SPARQCode’s website. According to them, these codes can be used to get some market intelligence for your products and brands, drive customers to your restaurants, or even drive traffic to your smartphone application sellers! The idea is to ‘Connect & Share’, as quoted on TechCrunch!

I must say, I’ve done my browsing for the day, by discovering something cool!! Anyway, I’ll leave it up to you to get more information on this!

Wish you all a fantastic new year!! Do celebrate 1-1-11, in style!!
