Kaywa QR-Code generator
Smartphone software company Kaywa has released a free on-line service to convert any text or URL to the popular (in Japan, anyway) QR Code 2D barcode format. The QR-Code Generator will take any URL, user-defined text of 250 characters or less, phone number, or SMS message and turn it into a graphic QR Code in a size you choose from 158px to 258px. For the rest of the world, there's a Data Matrix version, too, for you ASCII fans out there, so no matter where you are, you can guarantee something to do with the barcode scanner in smartphone.Possible applications include storing your website or personal information for quick scanning from your business card, or potentially storing large amounts of text in a small hard copy. And, of course, QRing your Geek Code.
