Google and QR Codes. Its about time!

I absolutely love that Google’s new URL shortening service includes a built-in QR code generator. For those who don’t know, QR codes are 2D bar codes that contain instructions. When snapped with a ‘reader’ on your mobile phone, the code tells the phone to visit a website, download a ringtone, send an email, etc. Will this be what it takes to push QR codes into the mainstream in North America?

Try it out. Download a QR reader app such as Scandisk for your mobile phone and scan this graphic!
