Usually
it's just an obvious link to some company's
marketing/advertising. It's
basically just like the old CueCat, if anyone remembers it:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat>
Only time I've ever seen *anyone* actually using a QR code is
when *I*
use a "display QR link for this page" FF plugin to send the
webpage I'm
looking at to my phone.
Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but I suspect QR is more someone
that
companies *want* people to care about, rather than something
anyone
actually uses.
A rather cool usage of QR code I saw was a sticker on a device
that was a link to the PDF of the manual.
Then there's always this:

Not the fault of the QR code of course, just an expired domain
name, but still funny. :)
