Not to be outdone by Facebook adding QR Codes (see recent post), Google has enabled QR Codes as part of the URL Shortener according to this Techcrunch report: Google Continues To Embrace QR Codes, Integrates Them Into Its URL Shortener.
So Google has a URL Shortener Goo.gl (yawn) which launched in December 2009 (Facebook And Google Get Into The Short URL Game). Today, Google added a very elegant feature: if you add “.qr” to the end of any shortened link, this will generate a QR code for it. For example, the link http://goo.gl/SJhz would become http://goo.gl/SJhz.qr.
Google are a clearly massive fan of QR Codes and this is an easy way to propagate them.
