QR code

Is it popular in your country?
I started to use QR about 8 years ago placed it on my hotel
business card.
However, I wouldn’t say it’s really popular nowadays in Russia.
I have no ideas why though it’s a convenient marketing
instrument. Moreover, you can create QR code free of charge in
Russia.
Thank you

Is it that funny looking square, kind of like a bar code, that
people can scan with their phone?

I don`t know what it is either. Is it like using your iPhone to
pay for something? I`ve seen people who do that, but have never
used anything like that myself.

Nope.
And yes, it looks like a square code bar. You can code any
information there. For example, if you’d like to lead your
customers to a certain page at your website (as I did for a
hotel). Or just code your contacts. Most people(youth in Russia
at least) have qr app for scanning these codes. So, they don’t
need put down the information ( websites, contacts , ect). They
scan code and get data on their phones.

QR was introduced in the US a few years ago but strangely it
never took off. It seems like such a good idea.

I wouldn't say it's popular. It exists. You can find it in
magazines, on posters, products etc., so I guess someone uses
it.

@Morsa,
someone? It's me! :D
Young people(includes me) in Japan use QR code. They use it by
the smartphone. I sometimes use it. It's convenient if you get
used to it.
I'm not sure I can explain it, but I'll try.
Procedure: To get a thicket with a QR code.
When you want to go to the movie, first, go to the website of
the theater at home. Then book the seat. They send e-mail to
you. There is a QR code in the text. You arrive to the theater.
There is a check-in machine at the gate. You take your
smartphone out your pocket and open your email. You get your
phone touch the screen of the machine with the page of the QR
code your received. Then you get a ticket of paper. No typing at
all. No voice. Just touch it. No need standing in line for
ticket.
Example 1:
When I booked a ticket of soccer game, I didn't get a paper
ticket. Just show the QR code to the staff at the entrance. No
typing. No voice. Just showing it.
Example 2:
When I saw some advertisements of concerts on the train, they
had QR codes on the flyer then I took a picture of the QR code.
Then I opened their websites from the QR code later at home. No
typing. Just click it.
See? we are a part of robots, which I wrote about in SHL's
tread, "Social media" Let's enjoy technology.....
