In a nutshell CQ can generate and place a QR Code on your posters, business cards, flyers or WHATEVER, and anyone can read it using their mobile phone to record your contact details or go to a relevant page on your website.

In the promotional posters for Tim Burton’s new animated movie “9” one of the posters features a QR Code. Try it now and see the exclusive video on your mobile phone!

Here is a unique way to describe your business and make it visually interesting (and it’s free)! Wordle is an online application for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Here are some we prepared earlier… can you guess who we’re talking about?

There’s a “Print…” button below the Wordle area, on the left-hand side. Press it. You will be prompted to allow the Wordle “Java applet” to access your printer. Please check the checkbox that says “Always permit”, and accept the dialog.

On the Mac, you’ll have to press the “Print…” button again.

Mac users can simply “Save as PDF” from their built-in printer dialog.

Windows users will need to use third-party software to generate a PDF from the print dialog. Adobe Acrobat is fine, but if you don’t have it then use the free CutePDF Writer (you’ll also need to install Ghostscript, a free PostScript interpreter).
