#QRChat Transcripts: April 3, 2011

Thank you to @KristofCreative for helping me secure these transcripts using his fantastic application suite TweetReports. They have some cool analytics and tracking services that I am going to check out in more detail.

Marc of QRScotland stayed up late to talk with us about his efforts to support Forres, Scotland tourism using a QR code campaign for the town. The #QRChat community learned a lot and offered great examples of stateside QR code tourism efforts.

Great chat all around!

12:09 am	pheffernanvt:	@aldsaur @seanbell Wow, that sounds like a complex promotion. Curious if there were a lot of dropouts during the game? #qrchat
12:10 am	gnosisarts:	@truemc Hi, Stephanie. @whartel Welcome, Will. @seabell & @austinvismedia thanks for guesting #qrchat
12:10 am	Tappinn:	#qrchat Tappinn is in the house. We currently have codes in almost ever major mag. Seeing some great trends!
12:10 am	aldsaur:	@seanbell Can you give us some context on the promo? What was the structure? #QRChat
12:10 am	gnosisarts:	@AustinVisMedia @seanbell So let’s get started. Why don’t you guys start by telling us what InfekTD is? #qrchat
12:11 am	seanbell:	@pheffernanvt not really. We found that the folks that played really got engaged in the process #qrchat
12:11 am	aldsaur:	@Tappinn Aweesome!!! Welcome, welcome! #qrchat
12:11 am	AboveTheStatic:	Hi #qrchat Will be bouncing in and out for first half but hopefully catch all the gold (and contribute just a tad too!).
12:11 am	QRmedia:	Love seeing them! RT @Tappinn: #qrchat Tappinn is in the house. We currently have codes in almost ever major mag. Seeing some great trends!
12:11 am	gnosisarts:	@aldsaur oops. Sry, Alison. You beat me to it! lol #qrchat
12:11 am	whartwel:	@aldsaur @GnosisArts Thanks! Glad to be here. #qrchat
12:11 am	AustinVisMedia:	@aldosaur We used QR codes, to link people into the game for player interaction and quest completion #qrchat
12:12 am	gnosisarts:	Wow we have a lot of participants. Want to greet you all individually, but don’t want to clutter up the chat stream, so Hi Everyone! #qrchat
12:12 am	AustinVisMedia:	@BestFitMedia created a web app using individual codes generated by @44doors, both local companies. #qrchat
12:12 am	aldsaur:	@GnosisArts Sorry, I settle down now. Got ahead of you! #qrchat 🙂
12:12 am	pheffernanvt:	@seanbell Kudos. Fade-off can be a problem. Ideas on what kept engagement level up? #qrchat
12:12 am	aldsaur:	RT @AustinVisMedia: @aldosaur We used QR codes, to link people into the game for player interaction and quest completion #qrchat
12:12 am	Tappinn:	#qrchat trying to establish "QR connected" mobile content as it’s own segment that deserves separate attention
12:13 am	seanbell:	@GnosisArts #infektd was really just the larger storyline we used to frame the gameplay and add the live action elements. #qrchat
12:14 am	AustinVisMedia:	@pheffernanvt some people stayed engaged for the competition and the prizes. #qrchat
12:14 am	aldsaur:	@seanbell So each QRcode was unique to person or point in game? #qrchat
12:14 am	seanbell:	@GnosisArts the goal was to produce a world event scenario – similar to an mmorpg – we really wanted immersion #qrchat
12:14 am	Tappinn:	#qrchat it’s ALL about building web content around your print and NOT building print around your web content.
12:14 am	pheffernanvt:	Nice to support local biz>RT @austinvismedia: @BestFitMedia created a web app using indiv. codes by @44doors, both local companies. #qrchat
12:15 am	AustinVisMedia:	@aldsaur Correct. Each player had a unique code and each quest had a unique code as well #qrchat
12:15 am	seanbell:	@aldsaur exactly – we printed over 2000 unique player badges and almost 200 quest codes #qrchat
12:16 am	truemc:	Interesting! RT @AustinVisMedia: @aldsaur Correct. Each player had a unique code and each quest had a unique code as well #qrchat
12:16 am	AustinVisMedia:	We created a sub-culture of interaction. Players from all over the place were meeting IRL, even going to lunch and meeting up #qrchat
12:16 am	aldsaur:	@AustinVisMedia wow! That sounds complex. Were there any challenges with those numbers? #qrChat
12:16 am	seanbell:	@aldsaur quests needed to be placed in a physical location during a specific window of time to function – very logistic heavy #qrchat
12:16 am	pheffernanvt:	@austinvismedia Do you consider those your target audience, or just cost of game/prizes? #qrchat
12:17 am	aldsaur:	Cool RT @AustinVisMedia: Created sub-culture of interaction. Players from all over were meeting IRL, even going 2lunch & meeting up #qrchat
12:18 am	reyonman:	RT: Genius! @aldosaur We used QR codes, to link people into the game for player interaction and quest completion #qrchat @AustinVisMedia
12:18 am	seanbell:	@aldsaur the real challenge was getting all the individual badges created. When we do it again we will be using variable printing #qrchat
12:18 am	AustinVisMedia:	@pheffernanvt Basically the crowd at SXSWi was the target audience. They are tech savvy and the right age/demographics. #qrchat
12:19 am	truemc:	@seanbell @AustinVisMedia what were your goals for the challenge? New users for your app? Introduction to your products? #QRchat
12:20 am	AustinVisMedia:	The greater interaction came between the top participants. Partly, to meet, and partly to keep an eye on the others #qrchat
12:20 am	pheffernanvt:	@seanbell @aldsaur "very logistic heavy" !!?? I’d say so. Is your headache gone yet? #qrchat
12:20 am	seanbell:	For engagement – we actually saw a few people put off work or take a day off toward the end to ensure they had a chance to win #qrchat
12:20 am	QRscotland:	Hello from Scotland #qrchat
12:20 am	gnosisarts:	For those who haven’t seen it: To see the promotion?s full description check here: http://infektd.eventbrite.com/ #qrchat
12:21 am	aldsaur:	@QRscotland Welcome, welcome!! #QRChat #hadcore
12:21 am	seanbell:	@truemc this was a proof of concept for us to test our framework so we could refine it and roll it out to a wider audience #qrchat
12:21 am	aldsaur:	RT @GnosisArts: For those who haven’t seen it: To see the promotion?s full description check here: http://infektd.eventbrite.com/ #qrchat
12:21 am	DougLanginGR:	@seanbell can you talk about variable printing? is that a technology or just a term you’re using? #qrchat
12:21 am	gnosisarts:	@QRscotland Hi and welcome. 1am there? #qrchat
12:21 am	AustinVisMedia:	@pheffernanvt Everyday proved a new logistic and tech challenge, which we met and overcame. We had ZERO time to have lasting issues. #qrchat
12:21 am	pheffernanvt:	@austinvismedia Well, with 2,000 palyers engaged in a prolonged multi-part quest, you certainly earned brand recognition! #qrchat
12:22 am	MarcHindley:	@gnosisarts yes, 1am in Scotland 😉 #qrchat
12:22 am	seanbell:	@DougLanginGR both – the technology allows you to print variable (unique) data inside of standard print pages #qrchat
12:23 am	aldsaur:	@AustinVisMedia How do you feel abt the conversion/ success of the game? #QRChat
12:24 am	seanbell:	the entire project was concepted and delivered in 2 months – so we really grabbed the bull by the horns to get it done #qrchat
12:25 am	AustinVisMedia:	@aldsaur We were quite pleased with the outcome. We influenced behavior in our player base by the code locations. #qrchat
12:25 am	seanbell:	@aldsaur very successful! – we learned a ton about how to effectively engage our audience and the best ways to deliver #qrchat
12:26 am	DougLanginGR:	@seanbell is that something you guys have developed or are using? do you have a link? #qrchat
12:26 am	aldsaur:	@seanbell @austinvismedia it was a mix of QRcodes, hashtags, application and actors. Were any of those most critical? #QRChat
12:27 am	AustinVisMedia:	@pheffernanvt Headache gone? Yes. Sleep schedule back? No #qrchat
12:27 am	seanbell:	@DougLanginGR it’s a standard printing technology. Large professional printers can facilitate this. #qrchat
12:27 am	aldsaur:	@DougLanginGR http://bit.ly/fB6jNn That is the link to the actual event #qrchat
12:28 am	AustinVisMedia:	@aldsaur All was critical. It all ran of the other. Without one, it would have all crashed. #qrchat
12:28 am	SocialMMMDiva:	Join me at "#qrchat" on Mar 27th. RSVP at http://twvt.us/qrchat #qrchat #twvt
12:28 am	pheffernanvt:	@seanbell @DougLanginGR Was it the variable printing concept you were proofing, or interest in mixed reality games? #qrchat
12:29 am	AustinVisMedia:	5 days leaves you no time to have issues. Any issue that developed had to fixed in minutes instead of hours or days #qrchat
12:29 am	seanbell:	@pheffernanvt mixed reality games – we feel strongly that people want to engage in social games but not persistent push button UX #qrchat
12:29 am	DougLanginGR:	@aldsaur I’m meant about the variable printing technology? #qrchat
12:30 am	KyBedard:	Hey all- just lurking. #qrchat
12:30 am	AustinVisMedia:	We had a homebase @bestfitmobile to solve these issues. The developer literally sat with us the whole time to create fixes or issues #qrchat
12:31 am	gnosisarts:	@KyBedard Hi there, Ky. Glad you could join us #qrchat
12:31 am	DougLanginGR:	@seanbell thanks for that. Do you guys plan on writing a case study or a white paper? #qrchat
12:31 am	seanbell:	@pheffernanvt so we crafted a framework that allowed us to test this theory – we found that people will engage heavily #qrchat
12:31 am	aldsaur:	What was most interesting issue? RT @AustinVisMedia: The developer literally sat with us #qrchat
12:31 am	pheffernanvt:	@kybedard Hi Ky! #qrchat
12:31 am	seanbell:	@DougLanginGR Absolutely! We are actually working on it right now – it is going to take us a bit given our workload but it is coming #qrchat
12:32 am	truemc:	Did you use clues other than QR codes? #QRchat
12:32 am	sjwmobile:	@QRscotland Is there a Twitter chat happening re: QR codes just now? #qrchat
12:32 am	aldsaur:	@seanbell Pls let #QRChat know when/if you publish the casestudy!
12:32 am	KyBedard:	Hey Pat. Good to see you. Long time, no tweet! RT @pheffernanvt Hi Ky! #qrchat
12:33 am	seanbell:	@truemc we actually leveraged google maps to direct people to the general location of the codes that needed to be scanned #qrchat
12:33 am	aldsaur:	@sjwmobile http://bit.ly/hGSQg8 #QRChat at this time. see link for info!
12:33 am	DougLanginGR:	@austinvismedia now that’s what I call support! #qrchat
12:33 am	QRscotland:	@sjwmobile Yes #qrchat
12:33 am	truemc:	DId you find there were issues with any of the different apps or smart phone platforms in reading the codes? #QRchat
12:34 am	pheffernanvt:	White paper is great idea. Will be of interest to many> RT @seanbell: @DougLanginGR We are actually working on it right now #qrchat
12:34 am	gnosisarts:	Just a housekeeping item: Pls RSVP to the chat at http://twvt.us/qrchat. All chat participants r added 2 our weekly paper.li #qrchat
12:34 am	truemc:	Yes, join us! RT @sjwmobile: @QRscotland Is there a Twitter chat happening re: QR codes just now? #qrchat
12:34 am	seanbell:	@truemc No – that part went quite smoothly. We were careful to make the codes quite large and legible – that may have helped #qrchat
12:35 am	seanbell:	@pheffernanvt Here is a link to a sample game map with quest text: http://bit.ly/hXFxJ3 #qrchat
12:36 am	aldsaur:	RT @GnosisArts: Housekeeping: Pls RSVP 2chat at http://twvt.us/qrchat. All chat participants r added 2 our weekly paper.li #qrchat
12:36 am	seanbell:	We actually have game maps for each day defined on private google maps – it is pretty amazing to look at #qrchat
12:36 am	aldsaur:	Dude, that is just COOL! RT @seanbell: @pheffernanvt Here is a link to a sample game map with quest text: http://bit.ly/hXFxJ3 #qrchat
12:36 am	bryankemp:	hello #qrchat!
12:36 am	KyBedard:	conventional bar codes are can store 20 digits, was told by @ContentCamp there would be no limits on @HubSpot‘s end #qrchat good? bad?
12:36 am	gnosisarts:	#QRChat Weekly is the paper.li I’m referring to http://paper.li/gnosisarts/qrchatmembers FYI #qrchat
12:36 am	pheffernanvt:	@seanbell @truemc I’ve wondered about that. Roughly how large did you print the codes? #qrchat
12:37 am	gnosisarts:	@bryankemp Hi Bryan. Was just wondering where you were? 🙂 #qrchat
12:37 am	seanbell:	It is amazing how much technology actually exists today – we built very littel given our timeline – we leveraged a ton #qrchat
12:37 am	truemc:	RT @pheffernanvt: White paper is great idea.Will be of interest 2 many> RT @seanbell: @DougLanginGR We’re actually working on it now #qrchat
12:37 am	bryankemp:	I unfortunately have a schedule conflict with the new time. =( #qrchat
12:38 am	SocialMMMDiva:	#qrchat Good evenin! Just saw the bckgrnd 4 2nites chat, lookin at event flyer seems like game play was complicated…what did players say?
12:38 am	seanbell:	@pheffernanvt player badges were 4.25" square and quest codes for posters were: 6.5" square #qrchat
12:38 am	aldsaur:	@bryankemp 😦 #QRChat
12:39 am	sjwmobile:	@seanbell Apologies if this is a stupid question – but where’s the starting QR code on the Google Map? #qrchat
12:39 am	aldsaur:	Good Question! RT @SocialMMMDiva: #qrchat Just saw bckgrnd 4 2nites chat, seems like game play was complicated…what did players say?
12:39 am	gnosisarts:	@SocialMMMDiva Hi Karen. Glad u could make it 🙂 #qrchat
12:39 am	truemc:	@seanbell did you use text codes, geo location codes, URL codes, etc. or a blend? #QRchat
12:39 am	KyBedard:	Thanks. I finally made it due to the new time. Loving it. RT @GnosisArts Hi there, Ky. Glad you could join us #qrchat
12:40 am	seanbell:	@SocialMMMDiva Players had no issues with the game play – if you followed the right twitter acct & #hash it was pretty easy #qrchat
12:40 am	KyBedard:	U too Allison, thanks for reaching out. RT @aldsaur GRT 2 see you! 🙂 #qrchat
12:40 am	truemc:	Interesting! RT @seanbell: @pheffernanvt Here is a link to a sample game map with quest text: http://bit.ly/hXFxJ3 #qrchat
12:40 am	AustinVisMedia:	@sjwmobile That quest went out in a tweet containing the bit.ly that directed the players to that particular spot. #qrchat
12:40 am	aldsaur:	Any other feedbck? RT @seanbell: @SocialMMMDiva Players had no issues with the game play – it was pretty easy #qrchat
12:41 am	bryankemp:	Sean, did you have any non-players finding your codes? #qrchat
12:41 am	seanbell:	@SocialMMMDiva The biggest challenge was keeping people (including event staff) from taking our posters for collectibles #qrchat
12:41 am	MsMobileConverg:	U social #twitterchat gad-about @KyBedard ! thanks 4 #qrchat heads-up! …but #bst time change is harsh!
12:42 am	AustinVisMedia:	@bryankemp The biggest challenge in that regard was non-players stealing the posters with the QRcodes on them. they looked rly cool. #qrchat
12:42 am	aldsaur:	Wow! RT @seanbell: @SocialMMMDiva Biggest challenge was keeping ppl (including event staff) from taking posters 4collectibles #qrchat
12:42 am	seanbell:	@aldsaur People wanted some of the more complex gameplay that we weren’t able to deliver due to timeline – next time #qrchat
12:42 am	DougLanginGR:	@austinvismedia is the game layer based on QR a product moving forward for your firm or just an interesting project for exposure? #qrchat
12:42 am	KyBedard:	Lolo Hiiiii Nora RT @MsMobileConverg U social #twitterchat gad-about @KyBedard ! thanks 4 #qrchat heads-up! ..but #bst time change is harsh!

12:42 am	aldsaur:	@AustinVisMedia @seanbell Do U have a link to a picture of the QRCode posters? #QRChat
12:42 am	pheffernanvt:	@seanbell TY much for sharing details & sample map. If you had it to do over again, what might you change? #qrchat
12:42 am	seanbell:	@aldsaur Let me see if I can find something #qrchat
12:43 am	aldsaur:	@seanbell Interesting! So players really got into it! They appear to want more deepth? #QRChat
12:43 am	AustinVisMedia:	@DougLanginGR More for just a "what if…" thing. We deemed it successful and are moving forward with similar projects. #qrchat
12:44 am	sjwmobile:	@seanbell I can imagine people wanted to take the posters to throw competitors off the scent too? 🙂 #qrchat
12:44 am	pheffernanvt:	LOL. It’s always the little things! RT @seanbell: @SocialMMMDiva Biggest chall was keeping pple from taking posters for collectibles #qrchat
12:44 am	seanbell:	@pheffernanvt I would definitely build an entire mobile app – to facilitate gameplay and player connection #qrchat
12:44 am	DougLanginGR:	RT @seanbell: @SocialMMMDiva biggest challenge was keeping people (including evnt staff) fm taking our posters 4 collectibles #qrchat lol
12:44 am	AustinVisMedia:	@DougLanginGR we aren’t an app company, a QR company or have a tangible product. More like an experience company #qrchat
12:44 am	bryankemp:	I want in on the next game #qrchat
12:44 am	truemc:	LOL RT @seanbell: @SocialMMMDiva Biggest challenge was keeping people (including event staff) from taking our posters 4 collectibles #qrchat

12:46 am	seanbell:	@aldsaur here is sample badge art #qrchat http://t.co/GIAEtV5
12:46 am	SocialMMMDiva:	@seanbell So u used these social mobile elements: twitter acct & #hash tag, google maps, badges & scan qr codes.To play game? #qrchat

12:47 am	reyonman:	Me too!! RT I want in on the next game #qrchat (via @bryankemp)
12:48 am	AustinVisMedia:	@sjwmobile When players got their badges we ran tests with them to physically introduce player v player play. Some just wern’t able #qrchat
12:48 am	whartwel:	@AustinVisMedia Were you able to collect stats on which readers ppl used? Any interesting trends? #qrchat
12:48 am	AboveTheStatic:	@seanbell What do you guys plan to add to give them greater complexity in the game? #qrchat @aldsaur
12:49 am	AustinVisMedia:	@QRscotland Yes. One player actually went out and purchased a smartphone so he could play. #qrchat
12:49 am	truemc:	What was your work-around? RT @AustinVisMedia: @aldsaur another challenge was getting older phones to work with qr readers #qrchat
12:49 am	seanbell:	@whartwel yes – @44Doors was an amazing help with that – we had realtime streaming stats for scans and handsets – iphone won #qrchat

12:50 am	whartwel:	@seanbell Awesome! Which readers did the best? We love i-nigma for both iOS and Android, but I’m wondering what the masses prefer #qrchat
12:50 am	aldsaur:	@sjwmobile I will post transcripts on our WP blog so you can catch it all! #QRChat I will send to you
12:51 am	seanbell:	Here is a pic of the tshirts and chris and I #qrchat http://t.co/yry6oa7

12:53 am	AustinVisMedia:	@MarcHindley Exactly it… difference between 3 and 4 was HUGE #qrchat
12:53 am	seanbell:	@QRmedia lot’s of tracking – the phone itself didn’t make a difference – we will make sure we get details into the case study #qrchat
12:53 am	KyBedard:	RT @QRmedia: Any tracking for your challenge? What were the most successful smart phones, apps? Did they make a difference in play? #QRchat
12:54 am	gnosisarts:	@seanbell That would be great, if we could post the case study to the qrchat blog. Let me or @aldsaur know when it’s up #qrchat
12:54 am	sjwmobile:	@AboveTheStatic Just 10 more minutes – screw the 9am meeting then! 🙂 #qrchat
12:55 am	gnosisarts:	We have about 5 mins left in reg. chat. Make sure u ask @seanbell & @austinvismedia ur burning questions about qrcode marketing #qrchat

12:55 am	AustinVisMedia:	@whartwel iOS 3 loved it though. I have about 5 diff ones for my EVO, and goggles still is my fav. #qrchat
12:56 am	seanbell:	My favorite scanner for iOS 4 is RedLaser – works like a dream #qrchat
12:56 am	sjwmobile:	@QRscotland That’s mighty good of them! Such an interesting dialogue #qrchat

12:58 am	aldsaur:	RT @GnosisArts: Yes, and feel free to stay for the afterparty, if ur so inclined. #qrchat

12:59 am	seanbell:	@aldsaur Definitely new tech and more innovation in storyline and gameplay – we are really just showing the tip of the iceberg here #qrchat
1:00 am	sjwmobile:	Probably the only negative about #qrchat – my iPhone is having a seizure with push alerts from the Twitter app!

1:58 am	DougLanginGR:	RT @aldsaur: @KyBedard That is right, but some folks put a non-mobile site behind their QR codes. Big No No #qrchat
1:58 am	KyBedard:	@EricaGlasier @truemc That makes sense. #qrchat has been so helpful and responsive.
1:58 am	bryankemp:	great question. MS TAG. I like that it can hold more data, but the way it is proprietary is hard to swallow. #qrchat
1:59 am	KyBedard:	so useful >RT @DougLanginGR RT @aldsaur: @KyBedard Thats right, but some folks put non-mobile site behind their QR codes. Big No No #qrchat
1:59 am	bryankemp:	Technically @My_Codes is not tied 2 qrcodes. We think they R the best physical pointer 2 digital content going, but could use others #qrchat
2:00 am	gnosisarts:	The only thing I like about MS-Tag: It counts scans even if no further action is taken. Other than than, not much adoption. #qrchat
2:00 am	bryankemp:	I love #qrcodes and the way tht Denso Wave has been open about their use. Admirable. #qrchat.
2:00 am	aldsaur:	Interesting! #qrchat RT @bryankemp: Technically @My_Codes is not tied 2 qrcodes. We think they R the best phy? (cont) http://deck.ly/~pFRle
2:00 am	reyonman:	MS Tag has significantly lower market penetration as well. Should for some reason it became dominant, we could easily switch to it. #qrchat

2:03 am	aldsaur:	@bryankemp RT @KyBedard: I’m sort of bi-lingual….is QR-code linking to available in different languages? #qrchat
2:03 am	DougLanginGR:	RT @truemc: YES! @bryankemp: I am also really turned off by co’s that use proprietary scanners 4 their codes. Let’s keep them open. #qrchat
2:03 am	gnosisarts:	@smartel @douglangingr @bryankemp yes we are all pretty much early-adopters at least in US. I find education the biggest barrier #qrchat
2:03 am	bryankemp:	the qrcode spec itself allows for 3 types of data. Alphanumeric, numbers and Kanji. so if a url fits text or kanji then yes! #qrchat
2:04 am	kmullett:	Whoa… first time stopping in on QRChat. I’ve been using them for years. Hi all. #qrchat
2:04 am	bryankemp:	hey thanks everyone for listening. I really enjoyed the questions. Feel free to contact me anytime. #qrchat
2:05 am	gnosisarts:	Are there any good #qrcode groups on Linkedin? #qrchat

2:05 am	DecidedWorth:	Great conversation tonight – thanks … #qrchat
2:05 am	EricaGlasier:	@GnosisArts If the link is beneficial to store on your phone for some reason, though, then it can makes sense #qrchat
2:06 am	DougLanginGR:	@austinvismedia I think its one of those – we’re already a MS shop so we use what MS puts out ’cause its easy (sort-a) #qrchat
2:06 am	aldsaur:	@kmullett Welcome! We are just finished. Join the after party? Love to have you in the chat nxt wk to hear abt UR uses #qrchat
2:07 am	gnosisarts:	Thank you to everyone who participated in tonight’s chat. I hope you all will join us next week. #qrchat
2:07 am	kmullett:	@reyonman I have done a lot of test on MS Tags vs QR Codes. No question they scan easier with more data/density. color+shape #qrchat
2:07 am	truemc:	Great #qrchat thanks all, back to the beach and pina coladas! Thanks for the great QR code discussion-lot’s of #QRcode knowledge.
2:08 am	gnosisarts:	RT @aldsaur: I will have the transcript up by tomorrow. Check here: or watch the hashtag http://bit.ly/hGSQg8 #qrchat
2:09 am	smartel:	@bryankemp Thx to you sir. Hope to see you in the stream. #QrChat And thx @gnosisarts. See u all next Sunday
2:09 am	AboveTheStatic:	Done. Great #qrchat with insights from @my_codes on sales & usage RT @bryankemp please go sign up for the beta. http://mycod.es
2:09 am	gnosisarts:	@kmullett the prob is: not as much adoption for the MS-Tags yet #qrchat
2:09 am	aldsaur:	@GnosisArts @truemc Hmmm Enjoy! #QRChat
2:10 am	reyonman:	@AustinVisMedia MS Tags require all scan traffic to go through MS. This prevents open toolsets for generation, will hinder adoption #qrchat
2:10 am	KyBedard:	Thank u sir. Good to see you RT @kmullett i seen the chat because you were in by the way. #qrchat
2:10 am	gnosisarts:	RT @reyonman: MS Tags require all scan traffic to go through MS. This prevents open toolsets for generation, hinders adoption <- ! #qrchat
2:11 am	gnosisarts:	@aldsaur Maybe we want to move it to 8pm ET? #qrchat
2:11 am	aldsaur:	Would love to hear what ppl think of that time! We could poll folks RT @GnosisArts: @aldsaur Maybe we want to move it to 8pm ET? #qrchat
2:12 am	DougLanginGR:	@kmullett but to what end – QR’s over 4k alpha and over 7k numeric – the biggest draw currently is engaging mobile landing pages #qrchat
2:12 am	kmullett:	@gnosisarts @reyonman and it was not widely available across other mobile platforms. In 2009 Best Buy was using, then they switched. #qrchat
2:12 am	smartel:	+1 It’d be better for me at 8pm RT @gnosisarts: @aldsaur Maybe we want to move it to 8pm ET? #qrchat
2:13 am	aldsaur:	GRT job @bryankemp @reyonman Thank you for a content rich #qrchat! Cc @gnosisarts

2:14 am	kmullett:	@DougLanginGR I am not a math guy, but 12 by 5 with C M Y K variable. We figured every man, women, child….errr a lot. #qrchat
2:16 am	kmullett:	@DougLanginGR the other problem is the more data you pack into a QR Code the more difficult it is to scan. (dense) Not so w/MS Tags #qrchat
2:16 am	aldsaur:	My husband wld appreciate help w/ kid bedtimes RT @GnosisArts: work better for me at 8pm ET, too, lol! #qrchat
2:16 am	gnosisarts:	Yeah, it would actually work better for me at 8pm ET, too, lol! @aldsaur @smartel. I can do a twtpoll of members #qrchat #qrchat
2:17 am	aldsaur:	@GnosisArts I say do the twtpoll! #qrchat
2:17 am	DougLanginGR:	@kmullett rght I agree w the math but from the UX standpoint why do U need 2 encode that much data 4 uses that don’t currently exist #qrchat
2:17 am	gnosisarts:	@aldsaur ok will do. 🙂 #qrchat
2:21 am	kmullett:	@DougLanginGR example. Note how dense and small this is > http://bit.ly/ief4aO, because I have MUCH in it. #qrchat
2:22 am	reyonman:	@aldsaur anytime! #qrchat
2:22 am	kmullett:	@DougLanginGR an MS Tag will read smaller with more data. Like name, url, contact info, full bio. Necessary info for contact. #qrchat
2:24 am	kmullett:	@reyonman it depends on what you put into it. More data, more dense + small size = difficult to scan. Poor light increases issue. #qrchat
2:28 am	DougLanginGR:	@AustinVisMedia Here’s a sample of what’s possible http://rptag.us/hcRh0F #qrchat
2:28 am	aldsaur:	RT @DougLanginGR: @AustinVisMedia Here’s a sample of what’s possible http://rptag.us/hcRh0F #qrchat
2:29 am	ktiedt:	@kmullett my reader only showed like 8 numbers… #qrchat
2:30 am	reyonman:	@kmullett good thing about @my_codes is that only a very small amount of data is stored within the code! : ) #qrchat
2:30 am	matt_storms:	@DougLanginGR @AustinVisMedia I wrote a whole blog post on QR codes a little bit ago. #qrchat QR codes are awesome.
2:35 am	DougLanginGR:	@kmullett That’s just poor use of QR technology & is not a best practices – ck this out http://rptag.us/hcRh0F top 1 is my biz card #qrchat
2:37 am	DougLanginGR:	@matt_storms @AustinVisMedia yes they are! #qrchat
2:38 am	reyonman:	@kmullett your testing shows MS-Tag performing better in low light? I would assume the higher contrast of qr would win #qrchat
3:07 am	laughlinjames:	@smartel thanks for showing up for #qrchat tonight.
3:08 am	whartwel:	Looks like I missed the #qrchat memo. Great conversation – looking forward to next week!
3:32 am	cuferg:	Sorry to have missed #qrchat, Sunday nights always seem to get away from me.
10:52 am	gnosisarts:	@JennieB Thanks for stopping into #qrchat last night. Hope you will join us again sometime 🙂
11:04 am	AlanLattke:	@KyBedard QR codes are language agnostic – like a Barcode they reduce the info you want that is all #qrchat
11:27 am	KyBedard:	RT @EricaGlasier: @truemc @KyBedard Depends on use of code (site or newsletter use). Contact info, maps, coupons make sense. URLs don’t. #qrchat
11:30 am	kristopherwong:	Anyways to have a #QRcode be a query to a RDBMS in the cloud? #qrchat
11:32 am	KyBedard:	Thanks Alan- understanding where iphones fit in RT @AlanLattke QR codes are language agnostic – like Barcode they reduce info u want #qrchat
12:59 pm	kristopherwong:	@andrewdraper cool. I need to dive into the techy stuff but I wanted to know if it has been done before. The #qrchat group should know.
