I came across this strange new “bar code” icon that you can use on websites to direct people to various pages or to forms or newsletter signups. I hadnt’ seen anything like it before but it allows people with a “smartphone” to simply scan the icon and it will take them directly to the page that you want the person to reach. Such as a Twitter Signup page, a Facebook signup page, or, as I mentioned earlier a Newsletter Signup page.
Its’ called a “QR” or “Quick Response Code” and you can obtain them for free from http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
You need a Free iPhone App (or similar depending on your smartphone) like “QR Reader for iPhone” and if you were to scan the “bar code” image below with your “smartphone” it would take you to the “Nile Cruise Guide” page.
Here’s a short video showing you how to “scan” the code:
