Thinglinks as barcodes

Here are two examples of showing thinglinks as barcodes.

1) On pages like Barcode Mill you can use Code 128 to turn thinglinks into traditional barcodes.

2) On Semacode you can turn thinglinks urls into two-dimensional barcodes that any phone with a camera and J2ME can read.

Thinglinks can also be converted into short codes, althought there is not yet an application that can read them.

I'm looking forward to try thinglinks as semacodes in exhibitions. If you know people who would be interested in a thinglink/semacode experiment, please feel free to spread the word!

Certainly! Caterina from Mediamatic Amsterdam has also explored using semacodes. She might have good tips for us!

Hi there,

Why not try out QR Codes and/or Datamatrix :) ? Do you have RSS Feeds of your things?

Hi Ulla-Maaria,

Just discovered your blog, I wrote this article on proximity marketing, qr codes and image recognition software some weeks ago here: http://www.m-trends.org/2006/10/proximity-marketing.html
