Quick Response and Datamatrix CodesTypically available in Japan and not in the USA but beginning to be available throughout Europe. Quick Response Codes (QR Codes) (if it appears in Japanese just hit English on the top right corner) and Datamatrix (DM) are two dimensional bar-codes that can be read by any mobile device that has a camera and the right reader software. They can hold more information than conventional bar-codes and offer a lot more scope. This means when vendors incorporate these bar-codes in their products the given URL can lead you to their site and infinitely more information about the product.
This has even led to Audio Barcodes which might be used in the automatic transmission of website URLs to the mobile phone when it is directed at a TV or radio.
That is where Feed2Mobile comes in. This is a free service which bridges the gap between web based and mobile based content. You simply use the generator to create the mobile code of your RSS Feed for your mobile readers, thereby producing it in a manner more suitable for a mobile device.
This is my code for this blog below:
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://feed2mobile.kaywa.com/202182835.js”></script>
Simply insert your generated RSS Feed code in the sidebar in Theme Editor under Presentation (if your using WordPress) at the location of your choice. You can see results on the right. Simple click on the graphic to see how the RSS feeds for the blog will appear on a mobile device.
When the USA and the rest of Europe catches up with this technology we will be able to make much more informed choices about our purchases. This means your Expression Web site content had better be as good as it can be. So while you have time start your writing updates now.
