QR Code for http://kapiti.geek.nz/
The Google Chart API now supports QR codes.
QR Codes now available on the Google Chart API. Here's mine for http://kapiti.geek.nz (deprecated):
And the link I did it with.
I originally saw this because Brad Fitz has used it to put on his Facebook profile image which is interesting.
I guess if image search engines want to know where an image originally came from, they can scan for the QR Code
Taking this futher, I can think of one really good use already. You could put it on your Creative Commons licensed Flickr images and that way, the attribution part of publisher's side of the deal is already fulfilled. That can only be a good thing (as to whether they want a black and white pattern in the corner of their published images is a different story).
So I'm already defining a small protocol in my mind which might be quite nice.
There are 4 corners of an image so maybe something like this:
- Top Left: Photographer's Homepage
- Top Right: Photographer's Photo Page
- Bottom Left: Image Page
- Bottom Right: nothing (as yet)
Any thoughts (apart from the fact it might look ugly)?
