An extended rant about QR codes.
What started as a mild-mannered rant about QR codes…
| “ | Anyone ever used a QR code? No? Then please stop insisting they go on everything. |
|
Got a ton of replies pretty quick…
| “ | QuiteRedundant RT @jimwolffman Anyone ever used a QR code? No? Then please stop insisting they go on everything. |
|
| “ | @allytibbitt @andrewburnett @jimwolffman but they’re so damned attractive ;) |
|
| “ | @jimwolffman *raises hand* For the @edfringe daily timetables of the free performers on the Royal Mile. Other than that, no. |
|
| “ | @jimwolffman Agreed! It’s a silly, silly, overhyped technology. |
|
| “ | @jimwolffman We would like a QR code on every page of our w… no, only joking. |
|
| “ | @jimwolffman Not a fan of QR codes. Wish they would just leave us all alone, ha. |

Conclusion
Given that the responses above are from a variety of digital, marketing, advertising and design-savvy people, all with fancy smart phones and things, and even they don’t like or use QR codes, I’m forced to conclude that…
PEOPLE DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT QR CODES.
