simply QR

Stan and Alexis are two bright young Germans who lived and worked in New York and seek mobile opportunities now in China. They brought my attention to their pet project semapedia, where they provide a means to link any kind of thing that sourrounds you to wikipedia via a DIY QR code creator. The concept is simple yet ever so powerful. Once you print out a QR code for "chair" and stick it to a chair near you, the next person in deed has access to the entire history of this object via his mobile phone.

I wanted to have my own QR code on my name cards linked to Wikipedia. However I am not listed in Wikipedia and I checked, its not possible to list myself. So what to do? I looked on and found that Semacodes are really easy to create yourself with any work or link you fancy. You can create your tag here and download the acclaimed leader in QR software to your phone here.
