The above is a QR-Code.

“A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. QR Codes are common in Japan where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional codes.” - wikipedia

QR-Codes can be read with any camera phone that has a barcode reader installed. Telstra have started using these codes in their advertising to give users access to free downloads like ringtones and stuff, and all recent Telstra phones have the barcode reader applications pre-installed.

If you don’t have this installed, you can get a similar application for free from BeeTagg.

There are plenty of websites that generate these QR-Codes, which can be used to encode not only text messages, but instructions to tell mobiles to access websites, send an SMS, or make a phone call to a certain number.

This is really really cool stuff, I just stumbled to a page about it, and felt like I should share it with you! Download and install the application to your phone, and test out the online code generators! Talk to other clued-in-about-QR-Code people by printing out your generated messages really big and stick them places!
