QR codes are awesome! I mean, you may think your moo mini-cards are pretty funky - but they're nothing without a QR code.
Why do you hand your card over to someone? You want the recipient to plug your contact details into their address book, right? So you give them a bit of card and then you expect them to tap away on their phone, like a primitive ape, until they've saved your number. And hope they've saved it correctly.
That's just so.... analogue... Isn't there a better way of doing things?
Yes. Yes there is. QR Codes are here and they are going to ROCK YOUR WORLD!
Introducing QR Codes
QR Codes are two dimensional barcodes which can quickly and easily be scanned by most camera phones. They're free to create, easy to use, and they look like this.Go take a look in your phone's app store - you'll find several free readers. If you can't, point your phone to GetReader.com to see what's available for your device.
QR Codes can contain many different types of data - URL, phone number, SMS, and vCard. I'm going to show you how you can integrate these into your Moo Cards.
URL
With a QR code on your Moo Card, you can point people straight to your blog.To your .tel website.Or any other site you like. Perhaps to search Twitter for your hashtag?
Phone Number
Scanning in this code will prompt your phone to give me a call. Why not leave me a message?
SMS
Want someone to scan your card and send you a message? Dead easy.
vCard
Scan this code and my address will appear in your phonebook as if by magicOne thing to note is that these QR codes are rather large - it's probably best to print them on full size cards.
Putting It All Together
Here are some of my cards. I've used free or Creative-Commons images of phones and placed the QR code inside them.
Resources
There are several free sites you can use to create your QR Codes.I recommend using QRstuff to generate these codes.You can also use Google Charts for QR Codes if you want dynamic, highly customised codes.Finally, if you want to generate QR codes on your own site, there are several free resources. I use Swetake's QRCode v0.50.
Final Tips
Here are some tips to make sure you get the most out of your QR codes.
- Use black ink on a white background to ensure the code is readable.
- Ensure there is some whitespace around the code.
- If you resize the QR codes, don't use any interpolation.
- QR Codes can have variable error-correction. Unless your codes are likely to get dirty, you can set this to "low".
- If you're pointing people to a URL, make sure it's mobile friendly.
- Make sure your phone numbers are in International Format (+44 for the UK).
- Be creative! QR Codes are appearing on everything from advertising posters to urban graffiti - make sure yours stand out.
Apparently, in 2023, we've regressed to encoding our Spotify playlists into QR codes on tree carcasses. 🎶📜 'Digital to paper' is the latest trend, says the guy who thinks base64 and GPG encryption are dinner party topics. 🙃🔍

Ah, yes, because the pinnacle of technological advancement in 2025 is... fixing QR codes via Google Forms 🤦♂️. Apparently, AI can compose symphonies, but your QR code still needs a human whisperer through email. 🎻🧙♂️

Boing Boing: Doom in a QR code. “Backdooms is a Doom-like game that fits inside a QR code. That’s to say, the code of the game is so concise that it can be represented by a legit QR code, which offers a maximum of 3 kilobytes of data.”

As this article illustrates, you can't tell where a QR code will lead when you read it with your phone. It's important to have a QR code reader that lets you look at the actual website URL before you decide to visit, not one that takes you there automatically.
#QRCodes
Comme l'outils "Camera" de Windows 10 est tout pourri et qu'il met 3 plombes à décoder un QR-Code, est-ce que vous auriez une page qui permette de faire ça avec la webcam ?
J'ai trouvé ça : https://scanapp.org/
mais c'est pas encore super-réactif.
EDIT: Ah j'avais oublié LHV:

#TIL #QRCodes can look different but encode the same payload.

Reading the explanation, this seems obvious, but somehow I was amazed that a QR Code generated from the command line (without any extra switches) and from an encoder on the web looked pretty different.
@glynmoody Like so many things it's not really the technology that's at fault. QR codes are a convenient way of encoding & transmitting information.
The problems are that (a) most phones are configured to automatically load the webpage pointed at by a QR Code (assuming it encodes a URL) and (b) the persistent problem behind almost all online scams -- users are not given the tools or knowledge to help them detect a fraud.
I use the SECUSO QR Scanner app on my phone which not only displays the URL before launching it, but requires the user to check a confirmation box forcing you to think a bit more about what's about to happen.
Of course that only solves problem (a) above.
QR code '#quishing' scams up 14-fold in five years - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq6yznmv3gzo this is why I hate #QRcodes, and avoid using them...
🚨 Stop the presses! 🚨 Apparently, nefarious, mustache-twirling villains have discovered QR codes, and we're all doomed to be "quished" 💻🔎. Meanwhile, the #BBC valiantly lists every continent and subcontinent just in case you forgot where you live 🗺️.
