Good question. First off, I really like the QR's design. From color to insertion of graphic: distinctive and still functional. Tip of the hat. But...
This particular QR points to the download page of LO. Maybe I'm alone in this but: 1. I've always, only scanned a QR w/my mobile device 2. The only software downloads via QR were specific to the mobile device Expectation is pretty important wrt QR's. Based on that, for QR's I generate, I've taken to: - Adding one-line captions alerting where the QR leads - The QR's always lead to mobile-appropriate urls (which must add value - not teasers) I can see fringe cases where scanning the download linky to my mobile might be advantageous. Otherwise, I'm missing something. All that aside, Simon, thanks again for showing an aesthetically distinctive & appealing QR code. No small trick! ;-) -Craig On Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 1:08 PM, webmaster for Kracked Press Productions < [email protected]> wrote: > > What can we do with it, really? > I do not think my smart phone can deal with these things.
