barcodes

If you haven't seen it yet, check out a new site about building Drupal sites for mobile phones called MobileDrupal.com.

I was recently in Japan and wrote an article about the cell phone barcodes that are common in Japan.

After I wrote the article I found out that Google has released print ad 2D barcodes

Japan's cell phone technology is generally a couple of steps ahead of the USA. One interesting feature of Japanese cell phones is that you can take a photo of a special bar code with the phone, and the mobile phone will perform an action, like visit a Web page or send an email. If this feature were implemented in US cell phones it would have great possibilities for Internet marketing.
