QR Clothes: I am a leader of fashion

I have received a press release from emma cott to highlight that they are making it simple for people to have their social network site profiles embedded on t-shirts etc. in the form of QR codes:

It's worth noting as:
1) The majority of my site's taffic is driven by the QR code posts.
2) It's the first time that I have been singled out for a press release, thus joining the ranks of a million other bloggers.

QR codes have been appearing on clothes for a while, there is even a Facebook app, although emma cott seems to be trying to gain competitive edge by providing a range of networks and a variety of 'motives'. Personally I would like to be able to add my own motive and any URL.

I think there will be more and more QR clothes in the future, and my own QR t-shirt will look increasingly amateur:

Which is a shame as I got it made in October, and have barely had a chance to show it off over the winter months.

Hi David,

One limitation with printed QR codes is that the webpage the QR Code points to is static. If you change your domain name or want visitors to go to an alternative webpage after you’ve printed your QR code on your T-shirt, literature then your stuck. http://www.qrme.co.uk allows you to point your QR code to any webpage and allows you to update your QRme profile anytime to point your QRcode to a new website. Effectively giving you a dynamic QR code.

This gives you the option to change your URL to suit your mood.

The website allocates you your own unique QRcode and there are instructions on how to set up a winksite mobile web page.

I know of a few small local busineses that would like a web presence but cant afford to pay developers.

This allows the business to either display the QR code in their shop window or in a printed and point it to their free winksite.

QR codes are gonna be huge. Which is why I also created a site that puts them on t-shirts, mugs, hats, mousepads, business cards, shoes, and more. Check it out at QRCNow.com
