I’ve been writing and talking about QR codes for a while.  Click on this link for more details on QR codes, what they are, how to get them and how to use them.

There is a new potential downside as the number of companies using these bar codes on their products increases.

I recently spotted a Quick Response code on the back of a note book I was looking at.

My reaction is to scan this, I used ‘ Red Laser’ and it showed me where I could buy the item cheaper. At this stage I could instantly buy online as the cheapest source was Amazon, I have an Amazon app on my phone and am always signed in, so it’s easy to buy with one click. That was a lost sale to Selfridges.

What do you think? Good idea or bad idea? Does your phone have a QR app? Has your company used QR codes?
