Social media has changed our lives. It has not only changed the way we communicate, but the way we connect with one another, consume our news, conduct our work, organize our lives, and much more. So why not celebrate?
Though I will not be personally attending any meetups, it is still a revolutionary idea and the fact that Social Media has invade our lives (Twitter, Facebook, FourSquare, etc)
Ever wondered what were QR Codes? Basically, a QR Code is a two-dimensional bar code created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.
Although initially used for tracking parts in vehicle manufacturing, QR Codes are now used in a much broader context, including both commercial tracking applications and convenience-oriented applications aimed at mobile phone users (known as mobile tagging).
QR Codes storing addresses and URLs may appear in magazines, on signs, buses, business cards, or just about any object that users might need information about. Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader application can scan the image of the QR Code causing the phone’s browser to launch and redirect to the programmed URL. This act of linking from physical world objects is known as a hardlink or physical world hyperlinks. Google’s mobile Android operating system supports the use of QR codes by natively including the barcode scanner (ZXing) on some models and the browser supports URI redirection, which allows QR Codes to send metadata to existing applications on the device.
Users can also generate and print their own QR Code for others to scan and use by visiting one of several free QR Code generating sites.
The above QR Code was generated for free using the website : delivr.com
Just got an email that immediately alerted me to jump to action. I so would like LOVE to get my hands on a personal iPad … but shelling out the $500 is going to be an eventual task and will require some GREAT persuasion on my part to get @JadaHuss approval for this purchase.
However, Shoeboxed come to the rescue .. I did an earlier post on this service, but now, they have up the ante and I am wondering how many of you can I ask to try out this service and reward me with an iPad? PLEASE !!!
