Re: [Coworking] How common or useful is using QR codes in coworking?
Ugliness aside (which I agree), the thing I don't like about QR codes is that they generally *create* more work for people than they replace. The most useful QR codes I've seen used are in reverse from how everyone usually describes them: when the person/customer/etc has a personal QR code on a tag/sticker/badge/etc, and the business/operator has the reader set up. Example: digital check-in, scanning loyalty cards, etc. You could have QR codes on name badges, for instance, and put out iPads or laptops with cameras that do something automatically when a code is scanned. This takes away a lot of the questions what is this thing, what do I do with it as well as the need to download an app or ask the user to do extra work for you. -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Tue, Jun 17, 2014 at 12:17 PM, Chad Ballantyne c...@thecreativespace.ca wrote: Agreed.

Re: [Coworking] How common or useful is using QR codes in coworking?
I totally agree with Alex Hillman! Very good point. I always use apps with qr codes and go to the stores like Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks and have the cashier read my iPhone screen with the barcode scanner, no more cash exchange or more work.

Re: [Coworking] How common or useful is using QR codes in coworking?
I'm totally stealing this idea for a conference: 10. Scandinavian Airlines put together one of the most exciting promotions ever: the ad campaign required two smartphones (side-by-side) to scan the QR code to receive the deal. This campaign boosted revenue and got more people to fly together. r. *rachel young*rac...@camaraderie.ca *We're located at 2241 Dundas St W, 3rd floor* *(between Bloor and Roncesvalles)* *Find us online:* Website/blog http://camaraderie.ca and Newsletter http://bit.ly/camaraderienewsletter, Twitter http://twitter.com/camaraderie, Facebook http://bit.ly/9zv3Fx, Google+ http://bit.ly/CamaraderiePlus, Yelp http://bit.ly/CamaraderieYelp, and LinkedIn http://bit.ly/CamaraderieGroup We're a proud member of CoworkingToronto http://www.coworkingtoronto.ca/, CoworkingOntario http://coworkingontario.ca/, and CoworkingCanada http://www.coworkingcanada.ca/!
