Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm thinking about ordering some business cards / contact cards to give to people I meet while going back to school to learn programming and for later use when I start job hunting. I'm wanting to incorporate QR codes (2 dimensional bar codes) into the cards. I've done some googling and this seems to be a popular tactic. I'm wondering if any of you are doing this. My sister has a specialty merchandise business and can get the printing done for me. I'm more interested in how you design, create, and use the QR codes.<br>
<br>
A) How are you using QR codes in the realm of professional networking?<br>
<br>
B) Are you using them on business cards? Resumes?<br>
<br>
C) What type of QR code are you using, contact, web link, text, other?<br>
<br>
D) What did you use to generate the QR code?<br>
<br>
E) What size / version should it be and how much information can you cram in and still have good readability?<br>
<br>
F) If it has web links in it, where are you sending the recipient's web browser?<br>
<br>
G) What is your favorite Android QR code reader?<br>
<br>
My current, outdated, business card has my Name, Degree, Phones, and Email on the front. I plan to put a contact QR code with the same data there. It has a short list of me experience and interests on the back. I plan to put a text QR code with that data on the back.<br>
<br>
I'd appreciate any ideas and information you can share on the subject, as well as any pitfalls I need to watch out for.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Ron<br>
