I used them last year in a show of my jewelry: each necklace had a descriptive tag with price, length, etc, and a QR code that took you to a page on my site where you could read the background story on the inspiration behind the piece, see photos of it worn, and purchase it through Paypal. 
Was a fair amount of work to pull that together with everything else I did for the show, and no one contacted me through them. However I've been committed to introducing QR codes to an arts milieu and glad I did it. 
I have also used them on business cards from time to time. 
The 'coolness' factor I've apparently gained has outweighed peoples' actual usage, but that's okay, there's a learning / access curve going on. 
Philosophically, I get a kick out of them.

Eric: I noticed your LinkedIn share on QR (Quick Response) codes: http://goo.gl/PfdZ7 .. the square "bar codes" that have become so popular.
I just wondered if there was a back-story .. how you might use them.  /. has a recent post on the "death of the business card", mentioning that personal QR codes are getting used for "social networking: http://goo.gl/UEmTM

All: are any of us using them?  If so how?  If not, are you thinking about it?

Apparently people want them on their business cards too, so they can scan them once home. Bump is apparently pretty widely used, 77 million! http://bu.mp/ but I'm not sure if I want them to have my info.
