Make Social Connections Through QR Codes

QR Codes are currently popping up everywhere; it seems not a day goes by without reading about another corporate company using them to entice customers, or someone coming up with a new way to use them for marketing. But, what about everybody else? How can we all use these funny pixelated images?
QR Codes are a great way to display a single image (a black and white pixilated square) that can then link to many different places, of your own choice. They can link to your email address, website, social media profiles or can even display your telephone number when scanned.
When generating your QR Code it is vital to find a generator that allows you to change the place your code is linked to quickly and easily, without having to change the code itself. This means that should any of your social media details change, you can change where your code takes people, without the hassle of changing the code itself.
Once you have your QR Code you can then use this to make simple, one click, connections with the people you meet everyday. If you meet up with an old friend, simply get them to scan you code using their Smartphone and one of the free apps available, and they will then be able to instantly connect with you on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. They can even grab your email address or phone number if you choose.
That is the great thing about QR Codes; you remain in total control over the information that is displayed when someone scans your barcode. So, forget trawling through hundreds of people with the same name when searching for a friend on Facebook, instead these connections can be instant.
QR Codes can help you to keep in touch with the people you meet in the real world, using your social media networks. This can not only enhance your social media connections but will also enhance real-life relationships by enabling you to keep in touch with, and find out more about, the people that you meet every day.
There are also no privacy concerns with making connections in this way, as you as a user, remain completely in control of the friend invitations you accept, or people who you choose to connect with via your QR Code. This means that you can connect, and enhance your relationships, with people you meet everyday in the real world.
