Poll: How often do you scan QR Codes?

[ry0ohki]

At SXSW, QR codes were everywhere. On buses, backpacks, business cards, t-shirts, you name it. But I've never once scanned one, or seen someone scanning one. Maybe it's because I have an iPhone? It seems Droid people are a little more comfortable with them but I wanted to pool the HN community to see if I should start using them in my marketing.

The few times I've scanned one it has seemed like too big of a hassle for a pretty minor ROI.

The way they're used now, I think QR codes are really just a gimmick. They're probably useful in some rare situations, but for me, I could easily live without them.

I scan them sometimes; they're all over the place here in Japan and it's easy to scan them on my phone.

Very low as compared to clicking links.

Never

Everytime I see one! I think they are fantastic and misunderstood and under utilized. Social network information storage is one of the best use cases.
