QR Codes are becoming very popular, appearing in many places. A quick scan with your smartphone and you can collect (or give away) a variety of information, a web address, a phone number or plain text among other things.

They are useful and many people are putting them on their business cards – I have put mine on my iPhone. I created a backgound image, which when scanned will load either our company website or my blog. A useful way to pass on these details to people I meet.

The image appears on the lock screen and I have created an apps page, with just three icons on it so the codes can be scanned from there as well.

…and QR Codes don’t need to be black and white!
