QR codes are one of the fastest growing forms of marketing around. Have you ever been walking down the street and wondered why the does every new advertisement have a square barcode on it? Well that’s because it’s probably linked to someone’s website or promotional information.

Wikipedia describes QR Codes as follows: A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) first designed for the automotive industry. More recently, the system has become popular outside of the industry due to its fast readability and comparatively large storage capacity. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be made up of any kind of data.
