In a previous post, I mentioned QR codes, so I was interested to find examples some recently.
You know how some convenience stores have ads and human interest stories running on screens that you can watch while you're pumping gas? As I was filling up the other day, I caught the end of a spot about QR codes. I have no idea why this was on "gas TV," but it was cool.
I've also seen QR codes on a couple of books. When you scan the code for Lauren Conrad's Sweet Little Lies, for example, it takes you to a mobi site about the author and book.
For an interesting article about "Digi Novels" that mentions QR codes, read this post by the Steve Laube Agency.
QR codes. Digi novels. Keep your eye out for more of this type of technology that can draw readers in with a link from the printed book to online coolness. Not just for kids!
Some of the cars at the Car Show at the State Fair had QR codes on them so you could get additional information. It was kind of cool to walk by a car & know what the strange little sticker was for! I felt very informed!!
