goo.gl and QR codes

ive just started using goo.gl to track the growth of my pages.
google tracks the number of clicks and stuff, so i know whats being used and whats not.

also, your shortened URLs can be made into QR codes (people who go to the URL via QR codes add to your click count)

they look like this (leads to my fan page at http://www.goo.gl/viLi5):

you can install a number of apps for ios and and android that allow you to take a picture, and then be taken to the link.

from what ive heard, these are rising in popularity, and people (especially in urban areas) actually look at these when they see them.

heres an explanation:

heres another

slap these on some stickers and youre advertising yourself.
Or, if you post mixes, make your cover 1429 x 1417, and slap the code to your site in the corner. (this would make more sense to do on larger sites)

ive just started using these as a way for people to share my page. any one else use any of these? (Google FTW!)

i might fire up gimp this weekend and use my logo as the background

if you want larger codes, and change the color, you can use this:

when you enter the URL use your shortened goo.gl url to still track clicks

bump?

this might be the future of advertising. its like posting a link, but out on the streets

Augmented Reality and Real Estate Technologies Market Research Site

For two years now, I’ve been tracking implementation of QR for static URL linking and layers of augmented reality.

Like this…

Static page URL linking

Here’s one of my market research sites I’ve used to compile technologies and advancements in the Real Estate industry.

There are a lot of very cool adaptations of that will bring innovative layers to advertising “DisplaySpace”…

For example, the impact of DisplaySpace on the R.E. Industry (PDF - 549Kb) : implementations by Google.

i saw some kid wearing a sweater from urban outfitters (i think) that was obey branded (ironc, see where im going with this) and i asked them if they knew what obey is and what it stood for.
his answer was ‘what are you talking about’
andre the giant?
‘the wrestler?’
yeah, his image is the obey giant
‘the what?’
fucking show some respect. know what shit symbolizes before you wear it

then i walked away

im screwing up my own thread. back on topic.
