You can now share RubberSquid channels via QR codes.
And, what is a QR Code?
Well, it’s a 2 dimensional barcode that can be scanned by some mobile phone cameras and translated into a website link or any other text.
Here’s the QR Code for the RubberSquid website home page. If your phone has a barcode scanner capability, it should be able to convert all the dots into our website address, http://www.rubbersquid.com:
QR Codes are already very popular in Japan where they appear in adverts in magazines and newspapers; readers simply point their mobile phone’s camera at the barcode and it converts the image into the wesite address for the product or service being advetised.
The big advantage of QR Codes is that they are easy to use and, most important for the user, free.
RubberSquid uses QR Codes in several ways:
- To provide a quick, easy and free way of getting a bookmark into the mobile phone’s browser. You can choose whether to include the account password in the link or not. Once scanned, the link allows you to sign into your account without having to type your mobile phone number and PIN.
- To share a channel. You can generate a QR Code that other users can scan to start sharing one of your channels. You’ll find this facility under the [Channel Link] >> [Share Channel] menu.
