QR Codes . . . "Quick Response Codes" ????





OK, so I try to keep up, but today I feel woefully behind. I just looked at a glog about QR codes. Maybe you use them or at least know about them, but I have been in the dark. I really need to update my phone and here's another reason to do so. Anyway, if you don't know what they are, here's a great explanation, just click here. I went to an free online CR code generator and this is what I got for the CHS website. I don't know if it works or not (remember, I need to get a smart phone), but if it does, please let me know. If you are the first one to show me, I'll buy you a candy bar from Mr. G's. Update: Thanks Ian Cochrane for showing me the QR code for CHS - he was the lucky winner and got a Reese's candybar from Mr. G's on 9/13/2011!

Is your Google search the same as your friends?

Did you know many internet searches use social media data to rank a website's importance?
