Pinterest is great for social bookmarking, but what about personal bookmarking - the bookmarks for the sites you visit over and over? My company just launched http://iCrumz.com, and we believe it is exactly what the world needs now - a real personal productivity booster. It's a free cloud-based Internet bookmarking service. With iCrumz.com all your bookmarks are always available using any browser from any computer, mobile phone or tablet. The iCrumz interface allows you to have 100 or more bookmarks on a single webpage without being cluttered. iCrumz also offers an import function, so you can import and consolidate all your bookmarks from all your browsers on all your devices. Check out our short (1 minute) intro video: http://youtu.be/QDD23whIlrw Contact me if you have any questions. Also, we'd love to hear your feedback. Matthew[at]iCrumz[dot]com.

While I think QR codes may be a good thing, they're ugly at the same time, however, I do see them replacing UPC unless the fascination with mobile goes away....

As a marketer, I think QR codes are a handy way to get mobile prospects to your website. But aesthetically they're kinda ugly, and too many marketers use them incorrectly or don't have their landing pages optimized for mobile devices, or even directed to a specific page for the person scanning. A lot of squandered opportunities. Author Jeffrey Hayzlett came up with an alternative to QR codes for the chapter headings in his book "Running the Gauntlet" (for additional content) because he also thought the codes were ugly. Check out "Snap Tags." Here's a link: http://www.mobilemarketer.c...

Cheers!

I've noticed myself Rick that all Readers aren't made the same. I have 3 different apps on my iPhone that I test with. Also, I've noticed that some of the Apps won't accept an email or place a phone call as well.

Thanks Rick for your awesome feedback! Always appreciated!!!

I think QR codes are really useful tools for marketing. First of all are very useful to target those having a smartphone or a tablet with no GPS. It's a very handy tool that can be used in a lot of creative way. It's something I always suggest to my smallbiz client.

Did a little investigation into utilization of the apps that read QR codes. Apparently, of those downloaded something less than 20% are used more than a dozen times during the first 30 days and most go dormant after 60 days. That may be more the fault of the apps or how the codes are being implemented than the codes themselves.

Thanks Mindy! I was trying to design the colors to coincide with my logo. Glad you like them!

Good share and case study potential

With well over half of all internet searches now done with mobile devices, it bodes well for QR codes. I'm a much bigger fan of dynamic QR codes than static. Maybe go into that in detail in your next blog.

Seems like you could even make QR codes useful for websites, as long as you have users who have printers...

Well...a moving target could be a nice game with a reward! LOL

Thanks Denise!

A scavenger hunt is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

I like them and I'm thinking of ways that I can incorporate them into my travel business. Maybe a type of scavenger hunt that takes people around the city they are visiting.

There's always a lot of discussion in groups (who focus on Social Media) about the value of QR codes. I've seen lots of examples of really bad implementation. But overall, I think there is a good purpose for them. Just be sure to put them someplace that is not a moving target.

Really interesting Chris. Couple of things that immediately register is participating in a #tweetchat. The #SWChat is on Thursday night at 10pm (my time in Malta) so you can see where those numbers come from. Also with the chats you generate a huge number of RTs and Mentions from people responding to your answers, comments, etc.so hits those numbers as well.

Thanks so much for sharing this.
