Happened to stumble across that via a friend of mine. So in case you need to generate QR codes for your ebooks, print books, business cards, fliers, etc, this is a great resource for that, and even does a nice variety of formats, including text and phone numbers.

Personally, I prefer to use a standalone app rather than an online web service. The online services can very easily retain a copy of the data, particularily email addresses.

I use the QuickMark for Windows app (http://www.quickmark.com.tw/En/basic/downloadPC.asp) which will read QR codes and can generate them. There are several others out there.

I also use an "extension" that's available for the Opera browser. There are several available that will generate QR codes for the currently displayed page.

I build WordPress websites and looked into a plugin for WordPress that would place a QRcode generator on a page/post or in a widget area making it possible for visitors to create their own QR codes much like the site you list. I was quite surprised how easy it was to harvest data without real programming.

Oh, that's very cool. Do you have any you'd recommend for Linux or Mac? I know that a number of people use Mac, and I'm a Linux user (as is quite a few other people), so if you suggest using a stand alone app, then knowing those would be useful. Google brings up a nice list for both, but none that seem to get any kind of a thumbs up from anyone.

Since I don't use Linux and rarely use MacOS I can't evaluate apps for those OS's. Perhaps some Mac and/or Linux users will chime in.

Bit late now, but I just use qrencode on Linux. Ubuntu and Mint provide it in the repository, no idea about other distributions.

Java so it's for all systems. Not browser based, works offline
Here you go: https://sites.google.com/site/qrcode...eless-networks

Regardless of the link name, said program genetates ALL kind of QRs
