Thoughts on this technology? Anyone interested in helping test it?

I've used QR codes in a Ruby on Rails app, but what do you want to do with it?

The amount of data you can stuff in a single code depends on how much printing error you want to tolerate.  I put 4,000 bytes in a laser printed code.

Ok well I am an idiot when it comes to integrating anything.

The article suggests fundraising, but I think just getting more folks to our website initially, more awareness. I don't think our website is very mobile-friendly right now so we might need to consider that before sending a bunch of people to a site that isn't formatted for mobile users?

Anyway, I also like the idea of some kind of dynamic landing page created for code users that we could update and do special offers on. For instance, the page might offer a coupon for a local bike shop or a membership special, apparel discount, etc.
