QR Code beta-testing

Well first Happy New Year everyone!

Now, new year = new features - first one being the addition of QR codes, and will stay...if it works! ;-)

Basically a QR code is like a barcode you see on food items, except instead of being scanned at the checkout and telling you the price, it's scanned by your camera phone and takes you to the mobile version of the site, where you can download a copy of the image or video to your phone.

Some phones come with software pre-installed for scanning these QR codes, others you need to download some software to get it working.

If your phone does not have the software pre-installed, go to http://reader.kaywa.com/getit to download it if your handset is supported.

This is an example of a QR code:


Scanning that with your QR-enabled phone should take you to the mobile version of this page - give it a try!


So, what's the point?
Well, just a bit of fun really! Plus it saves you having to type in the url by hand, and eventually if it works well I'll be adding a load of easy-access features using it as a shortcut :-)

If you give it a try, please post in the comments section here and let me know how it went!
