QR codes are so 2004. Get ready for ColorCode

colorcode-2.gif Get ready for ColorCodes and the company behind it is ColorZip.

"Unlike barcodes and QR codes, which are inherantly offline technologies, ColorCode merely encodes URL-like data locators (think tinyurl), which means to interpret the code you have to retrieve its corresponding data online".

[...] In effect, in instance where ColorCode does not replace QR code, it will simply incorporate it and become the next standard. See samples left, and expect to see a lot of these codes very soon."
