The shortcode could then also be embedded in any advertising as a 2D barcode
meaning someone could just snap a photo of something and have the shortcode
easily extractable. Which would be quite neat.
You could of course do this today using tinyurl.com and then the 2D barcodes
could link anywhere, not just the BBC.
You can put any URL you like into tinyurl after all and use it as an open 2D
barcode lookup system:
* cf http://preview.tinyurl.com/2xzaay
Which I admit is possibly a little random.
