Drupal Barcode module

One of the most interesting modules I have seen in a while to come out for Drupal is the mobile codes one. The ability to combine mobile power, location based services and Drupal will open up a complete new field.

Implementations can be to add the barcode in a print.css so people can just point and click to visit the article if they have a printed copy instead of typing in URL's.

But you can also combine the real world with the online (like that is not real) world, with many mobile phones being able to process the image (like my iPhone) you can make "Location Based Services" like shotcode does.

It is available for Drupal 6 only, and to be honest that is a good thing. We always have a "break with yesterday, build tomorrow" attitude and while there are a lot of people still deploying 5 in production right now, in one or two month 5 will be yesterday. And 7 tomorrow...

Boy, the future waits for no-one, this sure goes fast.

Who will be the first to come up with a new way of using this module?"

Wow, I wish

I sure wish I'd had this about... 2 months ago. I had a perfect need for this where a customer wanted a drupal based checkout system. Interface this w/ ubercart/ecommerce to do check-in/sell-out and you have an inventory manager... nice Smiling
