Just finished up designing my new business cards in preparation for PodCamp Toronto next weekend. I wanted a simple card that would really point people to my website quickly. Ryan at takeontheweb.com suggested I use a QR (quick response) code on my business card. I had a vague idea of what they were because I had seen them recently in a magazine I receive.

qrcodeA QR code is like a bar code/UPC code. Using your cell phone, you can take a picture of it and it would either 1. take you to a website, 2. start dialing a phone # or 3. send you a text with the information on it. I created my QR code at this site: http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ You need an app for your phone for it to be able to work.

This article better explains the technical & historical side of it

So when you see my business card next you will see this little code on it. Oh, and hey look at that… there is one on my Hydro One bill too!

Heres a sneek peek at my new business card as well:
