Seen any good ones lately?

Hey everyone. What's the most interesting use of QR code that any of you have seen recently?
I was eating cereal this morning, yeah breakfast of champions (but not Wheaties), and saw a QR code on the box, I scanned it and it took me to someplace else in the world where it's morning time. Clearly brands are searching for methods of using QR code in fun and innovative ways, though the aforementioned is hardly it, I'm excited to see when someone, maybe even one of us nails it.

I've always wanted to create a QR code treasure/scavenger hunt in a big city like NY or San Francisco. We'd post QR coded stickers all over town on landmarks/points of interest and obscure places alike that send a text to the participant of a clue to the next location. A back-end database will capture all the locations the user has been to and once a winner has been to every QR spot, a text can go out to everyone else that the hunt was over. I'd like to sell this as an event tool to marketers.
Tony Forte:

This would be very effective for any metropolitan area, particularly those with developed metro trains and buses (i.e. NY, Chicago, D.C., etc.). I've definitely given the concept some thought, however, utilizing facebook and twitter to publicize the event check-in spots to the social network of participants would be quite enticing to marketers as well.
Seems like we're on the same page.

It would definitely leverage social media tools also. Of course, this may already exist, but even if it does that's not to say that a better tool can't be built. I'll have to put more research into it. But I love the idea of brainstorming with the QR Code Enthusiast community.

Some interesting use of QR for events should any of you be looking for some ideas. Let the QR revolution embrace you. Have any of you seen some cool use of QR recently, I can't seem to turn my neck without seeing one these days? http://mashable.com/2011/02/22/qr-code-event-marketing/

What QR readers are best to use? Thoughts?
Dustin Runnells:
For my Android phone I have been using "Barcode Scanner" for a while and like it, but AT&T's Code Scanner seems a little faster to me.

No doubt. I haven't used barcode scanner though I've used quite a few. The best and fastest one for me has been Quick Mark.

As a developer, I can't get over the potential that QR Codes have in social media. I've attempted to create a social game of sorts using QR Codes as game pieces. If anyone is interested in helping me get started: http://qrwild.com . Scanning game pieces lets you check-in to Facebook Places and unlock badges. Players are also encouraged to create their own games by placing qr codes out in the wild for others to find. If you give it a shot, let me know what you think!

Even law enforcement wants in on the QR code potential. Interesting read on how both cops and teachers could use QR code. http://connectedcops.net/?p=3765
Anybody seen any good use of QR this week, if not, I'll bet we see some good ones for the Superbowl? Stay tuned for the next edition of the Urban Professor QRemix tomorrow, they'll be honoring Chinese New Year. Check out some of the past ones here: http://www.urbanprofessor.com/category/original-feature/

Here's a pretty cool use of QR code as a "find it" and "scan it" approach. This is used in the movie "The Mechanic" that opens soon. What are some ways that you've used QR code?

I'll roll with you Tony. i received a business card that has a QR code on it so I downloaded an app for my iphone, but have not been able to get it to work. I did use a QR code to fly paperless on Delta. They just scanned it right from my phone (how cool was that).
Your Ambassador,

Small business owners can be savvy and innovative in the use of where the QR code leads to (i.e. promotions, contest, informationals, membership exclusives, home pages, etc.)
