Facebook enables QR Codes

So, is it me or has interest in QR Codes just been punted into the fore? Clearly, when a service provider like Facebook adds this functionality (Facebook Kicks Off Implementation Of QR Codes), then it is going to have an impact in usability.

I don't know the legal situation with the use of QR codes in the US. Neomedia represents the IP owner with the most clout - justified or not. However, once again, they appear to be in trumpoil.

Facebook adds QR Codes

Clearly, when a service provider like Facebook adds this functionality to its service, then it is going to have an impact in usability. (See Facebook Kicks Off Implementation Of QR Codes)
According to the Techcrunch report then there are two  types of QR codes:

1. a personal barcode which would (I assume) return a basic profile + link to your profile 
2. “status QR barcode”. which would (I assume) return your current status when read.
