A QR Code (a.k.a. QRickit) is a square barcode that can be scanned using the camera of your smartphone or tablet. Since it is a free and open technology, anyone can make and use QR Codes for personal and business purposes.

* I used the QRickit QR Code Creator for Contacts (vCard) to create the example Social Media QR Code. I downloaded the jpg and then placed the QRickit logo on top using Photoshop. I tried different logo sizes and made sure it was still readable by scanning it with my smartphone. You too can customize, colorize, and stylize your QR Code using any image-editing software.
