Looks like QR codes are finally breaking into the mainstream here in the US... they will be all over the place for this year's SXSW and I expect them to pop up more and more as the year goes on... anyone here using their Iphone or Android phone to read them and access info?

I am seeing them in a lot of tech magazines and ads... I also see them on a lot of android app sites, and you take a picture and it takes you to the market to buy the app.
I've seen them on billboards, at the grocery store...
They are becoming more prevalent, for sure.

Yeah I see them in trade mags and here in Austin, was just wondering what kind of penetration they were getting outside of tech heavy places.

honestly i didnt even know what they were until i got my phone and began reading blogs and websites about my new phone. Now, i tend to see them around the net. I havnt noticed them around town, but thats probably because i live in Wichita, Kansas.

You can use them to add friends on BBM (Blackberry Messenger)

Yup. Almost every day. I have yet to see the QRs other than in magazines and on websites in the KC area though.
