**QR Codes**- A QR code is a barcode on steroids. It is called QR for Quick Response. They're used for encoding information in two-dimensional space -- like in the pages of magazines, in advertisements, on TV, and Web sites. They were originally used to track auto parts, but have become popular for much broader purposes.

A barcode (//like those at the grocery store//) encodes data in only the horizontal plane, QR codes encode data both horizontally //and// vertically in a grid of tiny squares. This allows for much more data to be encoded in a smaller space. QR codes can actually embed information in the code itself, and, when read with the proper software, can trigger actions like launching a website or downloading a file. Additionally, QR codes can be read from any angle, while barcodes must be aligned properly.

Originally, QR codes were tailor-made for quick and easy linking to content on smartphones. Simple uses include magazine advertisements that link to websites. Putting the codes to more complex use are businesses that use them as a sort of digital business card for sharing accounts and contact info. They are becoming increasingly popular in education to share information on class assignments and documents.

You can think of it as an internet link in the "real world". They've been huge in Japan for years but are only now starting to become popular in Europe and the United States. You can read these links using special barcode readers on smart phones or use snapmyinfo's email decoder. Snapmyinfo's codes work with standard barcode readers as well! The more ways to share the better! http://snapmyinfo.com/ - //possible alternative for those without a smartphonemedia type="youtube" key="uQj-kHsK7XQ?feature=player_embedded" height="288" width="512" //
