Interested in adding a  "Create QR-Code Badge"  to your web-site? If yes - please read on! TEC-IT has enhanced it's bookmarking and sharing add-on for web-sites. Besides the "traditional" sharing services for  Facebook ,  Twitter ,  Digg ,  StumpleUpon ,  SlashDot  etc. this web-control now generates and displays a  QR-Code encoding the URL of interest . Such an URL QR-Code can be read with camera-equipped smartphones. The bar code decoder application on the phone forwards the user to this URL immediately - without keying in the URL manually. The bar code looks cool and can be shared via email, via MMS, by embedding it into arbitrary artwork - or simply by printing it. Get in touch with us if you are interested in this QR-Code Badge. It will be  available for free  if you provide a backlink to www.tec-it.com .

The time has come -  QR-Codes  will be really in the wild in a few days. As of today  Facebook  offered a  QR-Code generator feature  for each page. Below the page logo a link enabled the user to create a QR-Code image encoding the URI of the facebook page. It was also possible to download the QR code as PDF, but I was not able to try it. The mentioned features were online for a few hours until they disappeared. But I assume QR-codes will be an integrated part of facebook in the very near future. For Japanese people, insiders and interested people around the world QR-codes and their amazing capabilities (mobile tagging, mobile marketing, geotagging, ticketing, advertising, and so on) are well known. But for the broad public QR codes and their features are still miracles. This will change very very fast, facebook has a huge amount of users and the visibility of the QRCode generator feature is unbeatable. Quite interesting how this story will develop. Feedback is welcome! If yo
