Since barcode was developed it has been very useful in every aspect it was being used. It makes the scanning and identification much faster and easier. I am glad that barcodes are starting to be integrated in cellphones as well.

The bar code will be an excellent way to network and stay connected with contacts. As mobile phone technology becomes more advanced (or at least catches up with the Japanese market) business cards could become irrelevant. Instead, we may walk around with bar codes and to exchange information one would just scan your barcode instead of taking a business card. It will be exciting to see how much technology will change our business practices!

Sounds like what the government does with your social security number. In the PR world it is a great innovative business strategy to get small businesses more customers and get their name out there. It will be a great way to network if you have a barcode on the back of your business card. Potential customers can access more information on the type of business they want to engage in without relying on a phone call or a call back. It is a great ticket to valuable information without feeling committed. Keep me informed!

I completely agree! I am very excited to see where the new barcode technology will take us. In Japan, the mobile phone is used more than a computer to surf the web – perhaps that is the direction we are headed in?

I think barcodes will become much more important and will help to bridge a gap between mobile phone and web use. If Facebook bring out a feature such as the one you describe I have no doubt other sites and retailers will include similar functionality into their sites.
