QR-codes vs. Barcodes

I think this is a really cool feature for mobile devices! It could possibly be used for patients who are reading a med guide and this picture of a QR-code could be printed inside for a patient to scan and go to a website for more information. These codes can hold up to a maximum of 7,089 characters, while a traditional bar code can only hold 20 digits. I would be interested in any other ideas for this as I'm sure there are many!

Even president elects are using Twitter to promote themselves in the eye of the public. This free service will allow low financial candidates a chance to get the publicity they need to run for president! This article is very interesting and says it all!
