Quick Response Codes

Today's blog post is all about the use of Quick Response codes (QR's) within your day-to-day life.

• I use them for fun - sending hidden notes inside a QRcode
• I use them to accompany an event for ease of placing date, time, etc on a calendar
• I use them for quick contact information transfer
• I have a QRcode for directions to my house, so I can share it quickly with friends

Enjoy!

Swap, Share, Trade and Build your Social Credit Score

There is a tremendous social network growing on the web and many of us ignore it every day. If you have old DVD's, Dresses, Suits, Electronics, etc that you will not likely use again then you should know more about this swap/share/trade online community.

I have a copy of 24 season 2 that I will not likely watch again and want to swap it for a copy of Prison Break season 1. Intro...swap.com. Now I can achieve my swapping goal. This is really good stuff and it goes a long way to building your social credit score as you deliver on your promise to share, trade, and swap. Your social credit score is important and must remain at or above 98% to be taken seriously on the web. Nobody wants to trade or share with the unworthy soul who cannot be trusted.

So, here are some sites to jump start your social sharing needs.
