"We have our first site panel with QR codes in production. You might like our archaeology website too http://ow.ly/42s2z"

So expect to see them more and more as time goes on...

Great stuff oci.

A couple of demos here from libraries in the US that have started using them - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7QaUClznXM&feature=related and this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmak6uKxr2M&feature=related

Fantastic. It's the future. Hope EH, NT et al embrace it ASAP - you could set it all up for less than the cost of a single info board or those portable devices they give out at Stonehenge etc.

And the case for "democratising" information sources is beyond resistance. If they don't trust TMA information they can always make it clear that their account is the "official" one and all other info comes from "the community" (i.e. not edited or approved by them).

It's like we've been saying, "the big stone society" can't be kept in an official bottle once it's been uncorked.
