The Social Protocol For 3/16/10: Facebook Brings In QR Codes

Here we go again, thought at least this time it isn't another ploy to make your profile less private.....at first glance. They have implemented QR or Quick Response codes. Here's Tech Crunch with the few info:
Judging from the tweets about this, the QR codes don’t seem to actually function yet, and the links on pages appear to come and go.

We’re trying to get more information and will update accordingly.

In case you’re not familiar with QR codes: QR is short for Quick Response (because they can be read quickly by a mobile phone through its camera). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone – this can be links, videos, text, photos and more.

QR codes are generally more useful than a standard barcode is that they can store much more data. The other key feature of QR Codes is that instead of requiring a scanner to ‘read’ them, most modern mobile phones can convert them and there are applications out there for smartphone that don’t support native QR code scanning.
No, this will not jeopardize Farmville for you either, in case you were wondering.
