Keywords: Facebook, Power Of Pull, QR Codes

We are excited to read that Facebook has kicked off on adopting the ideas of PULL by David Siegel. Facebook has started working on enabling users to generate a QR code of their profile. You can now generate a 2-Dimensional QR code of your profile and provide a link to it on your facebook home page. As David talks in his book PULL, anyone can use a smart phone to scan your QR code and then be able to pull your details whenever they want. Mobile phones around the world have already been enabled to be able to scan QR codes and read the embedded data. What more, QR codes can store much more data including photos, links and text than a standard normal barcode. Now, you can generate your facebook QR code and print it on top of your t-shirt, enabling people to read more about you as you walk. Learn more at techcrunch.com.
