ShotCode

First to recommend

Description

ShotCodes are like barcodes, but 2D. If you download software to your camera phone, taking a picture of one will automagically take you to the URL encoded in it.

I just created two of these for my brother (one with the URL for his blog, and one for his contact information), and had buttons made with the ShotCode images on.
He's a student, so I can think of several ways they might come in handy. Remembering where he lives, geeking to fellow students, etc.

Update: the software is available for most phones, apart from my P990i of course *mumble*.
