street: I emailed him earlier so we will see if he updates his blog with the eBay code.

Wow, I can't believe people are taking QR barcode images off a Google search. I bet they were thrilled it was free.

But for eBay to do this after paying NeoMedia $2M? Maybe they only proofed the agency's copy and not the story boards.

If nothing else, this is a classic tale of why no one should use "free" barcodes.

"Apparently my QR Code ended up on a job recruitment flier that got sent to some students in Belgium. An actual printed flier. But here’s the kicker: the account manager from the ad agency emailed me and asked if I wouldn’t mind redirecting all Belgium traffic coming to my homepage over to their landing page for the next three weeks."

This is a first for me.
