QR Codes and how good they were etc. Well, it turns out there’s something else out there called shotcode.com which produces..err.. circle codes. Again it’s a similar idea. Point your camera phone at the image and you’ll be taken to a special website or shown information.
It seems like just minutes ago we were telling you aboutFor anyone wanting to create a code there’s added benefits. Not only will shotcode.com convert your URL into a special mobile version, but it’ll also keep a record of who’s accessed your site via the shotcode too. You can even create shotcodes with embedded usernames and passwords – for example you could hand one out to access a secure area with an individual username and password. Better yet it supports a whole range of phones, including the new HTC TyTN (aka Hermes / M3100 / Vario II etc) – check out the listings here for full details – there’s a Smartphone CAB, Windows Mobile 5 (Pocket PC) and other Pocket PC versions too. If you’re stuck just fire up the browser on your phone now and type shotcode.com – it’ll give you a list and you can install directly ! You can also verify short codes here.
I’ve just given the Smartphone (C500) version a try on my C600 and it seemed to work fine. It’s a little different to the QuickMark software in that you have to actually take a photo and then give it a second to load the appropriate URL but it does the trick! 🙂 You can also check interesting sms marketing tips on Jook SMS.
