QR Codes and scanning barcodes are popular with mobile users to get additional information about anything or to get particular information about products. By being a popular feature, qr codes are a valuable mobile marketing mean. Lately a couple of articles reported about the popular and comfortable url shortener service bit.ly offering the automated creation of qr codes for every shortened link. I just had a look at an article by Mashable reporting about this new feature of bit.ly and just became aware, that the url shortener Goo.gl by Google, which lately became available to everyone, has the same feature (s.a. Goo.gl Goes Public). So if you need an easy and free way to create a qr code, you may easily get one in a bundle with a shortened url. What is most comfortable with both services, is to get statictics at the same time.
