Goo.gl URL shortener can also spit out QR codes

You can also append .info to get detailed stats.

Or even simply "+".

Literally two days ago, I launched the first pass of a side project for this very purpose: http://qrk.co/

It's ugly, only has been tested in one browser, doesn't support user accounts/per-user encodings . . .

But it does do a geolocation query as part of the redirect. Seems like useful data.

This is an awesome feature. I don't see why they call it an easter egg. Easter eggs are not supposed to be useful ;p

a lot of the qr code i've seen on my phone assumes i'm near some other display device seeing the code, and to point the camera at it, i wish i could just tap on a qr code jpg, or well, then again, maybe not :P

I'm sorry that you don't have an app for that ... I have an app called Quickmark on my iPhone that allows me save the image to my "library" and then select it within the app to decode QR codes.
