Very late to come across this article, so sorry for being behind the times… This is an awesome idea, which we have considered for some of our 3rd sector clients. It may need some fine tuning, but the principle is great!

We have just launched QRazystuff.com, which is an online QR Tag Clothing retailer, so if anyone wants a T-Shirt or Hoodie with your personalized QR Tag, please visit the web site and place an order. Our QR Tags, are indirect codes, which enable you to change the destination of the Tag whenever you want (no need to print a new T-Shirt, just update the destination)…

No idea. I don’t use a Blackberry.

Smart phones are the only way to go nowadays anyway. Almost everybody has either an iPhone or an Android or some device capable of viewing the unadulterated web…

Anyway, the instructions I gave basically just have it go to your own shortlink. If a better way comes along, I can change where that link goes to without having to regenerate the image.

I was really excited about this, unfortunately everything works EXCEPT PayPal. Unless I download a special app for my Blackberry it just takes me to a very basic site, not the donation link. How many non-iPhone people are really going to have a PayPal app already installed?

CafePress would probably be the cheapest and easiest way.

They don’t have a specific mobile interface that I know of, but then I wouldn’t know anyway as I have an iPhone. I just see their full site. They don’t have an iPhone specific interface, I think. They do have an iPhone App, but it doesn’t have all of their possible functionality.

I like it too hahaha.
Is there a website where we can order t-shirts with custom creation of a QR code, cheap and good quality?

Fun idea! I guess then Paypal has a mobile friendly interface? That’s something I’m going to make a tshirt with

Hi Otto,

Looks like a neat service, but it’s not working for me. I scanned your QR image and was redirected to a google page where it asked me to login in to OttoDestruct.com. It looks like it may be the main page for your Google Sites account. Here is the link:

I tried just clicking your shortlink above and got the same result. Shouldn’t it be directing me to Paypal?
