LOL - Nice to see the amount of resonses.

Listen - not sure if any of you are in Brand Strategy, Brand Management, Marketing, Advertising or the like. Regardless, it's well known that brands spend perhaps every penny they have on developing their brands. Whether product development, customer service or straight up advertising and marketing - each silo of investment all leads back to the building of their brand. Brands will not take the risk and put their heads on the chopping block. Especially if that chopping block costs anything more than FREE.

Here is a hypothetical example for you - I see a great QR Code on a poster for Company XYZ - I am a teenager with nothing better to do so I go home, create a QR Code that links to a competitor of the original code or an adult website or a militant group - and in the middle the night i quietly take my glue and neatly paste my code over top of the existing code.

Do you think brands will take this risk? Why would they? To save people 6 keystroke?

Also, brands spend billions and billions of dollars trying to seperate themselves from their competiition. Brands want to own what is theirs. Their color program, their logo, their taglines, their offering, their corporate culture - everything. Why would a brand sacrifice an integral and valuable and costly piece of marketing real-estate to an element that looks like everyone elses?

I am in marketing and I spend my days trying to convince the brands I work for to develop USP's (for you shareholders - that means Unique Selling Propositions)

Maybe a better solution is someone like A9 - http://www.a9.com/-/company/snaptell.jsp

Owned 100% by Amazon - 100% deservedly patented - allows a brand to include detectable images i.e. a logo - to be scanned which will then take you DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY to the destination URL.

Unfortunately my last post of the day. Goodluck - hopefully your stock will go up $0 .001 today :)

GO IAIN GO!!!!

Thanks Kokonutguy for the good response, and info.

To All,

It looks like NeoMedia’s enemies are at the indirect “GATE WAY”, and trying to crash through, but as usual they just brought a dull knife to a magnum gun fight.

Something really big must be on the near horizon. Evidently, the whole concept of indirect encoding totally irritates, and mortifies NeoMedia’s competitors. I just keep pondering about the discussions here on I-Hub, and why there are so many new posters here trying to trash NeoMedia’s patented indirect method. All of the evidence including what you have just pointed out, Kokonutguy, indicates that the indirect method is superior to the direct method. The very reason for inventing the indirect method by definition says that there was a need for a better system, and if you read the 048 patent you will see the basic reasons for the invention.

Simple logic tells me if NeoMedia’s competitors want to use the direct method that’s fine, go ahead, and use it if you think it is better than the indirect method. However, at the same time why bother to come to this web site, and try to convince NeoMedia investors that NeoMedia’s indirect invention is no good??? If the indirect method is so bad NeoMedia’s competitors have nothing to worry about……right???......NeoMedia will just fail, and fall by the wayside….right???

The answer is very obvious. NeoMedia’s competitors desperately wish to use the indirect method, and they don’t like the investment support that we give to NeoMedia. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this stuff out!

Do you realize that for years now, NeoMedia’s competitors have been trying to either obtain, or destroy NeoMedia’s patented indirect invention. Several years ago I posted my thoughts about how Motorola tried to steal the patents through a company by the name of AirClic, and certainly everyone here is familiar with the EFF reexam effort to try, and destroy the patents. These efforts turned out to be unsuccessful.

I sense something really BIG is in the mill. I love this stuff. Maybe a BIG SURPRISE PACKAGE is in the mail, and will arrive just in time for Christmas!
