The rest of the world seems to be catching on to QR codes. Pretty handy for advertisers to get info out to would-be consumers, after all, who wants to fully type some URL into a phone's keyboard when you could take a picture that would take you there.  As for the credit stored on the phone, while convenient,  Americans may still be hesitant to have personal information and cash stored in a device so subject to loss or theft.  I'm down though, i dont let go of my phone...

Around here, I see QR Codes (on advertisements, developed in Japan), Data Matrices (on electronic devices, next to serial numbers, also mandated by the US DoD) and Aztec Codes (on Dutch and German railway tickets).

Fortunately, I believe most scanning apps support all of those (not sure, cause I don't own a smartphone).

It's kinda hard to tell which one is "best", cause they all do pretty much the same thing. Might be interesting to look for an article about a rigorous test, comparing resilience, error correction and data capacity, somebody probably tested that, but it's not on the Wikipedia articles (last time I looked).

Personally I like the Aztec code best, for aesthetic reasons. I think the "eye" staring at you from the middle is pretty cool

For those interested in this topic, I just bumped the thread in Operation:Mindfuck, where we brainstormed about innovative uses for QR Codes.

There is  QR thing on the back of My Taco Bell cup.

Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen a non QR code version before.  Also there is apparently one of the things on damned near every bottle in my bathroom.

I'm gonna go try to convince the conspiracy nuts that QR codes are somehow out to get them.

Make QR codes that link to the NSA/CIA website, and quietly replace the originals every chance you get.
