Do you just wish there was an easier way to exchange numbers or URLs with people
you just met? W-41's clothing is trying to make the exchange a lot easier by
affixing digital barcodes to its products that summon the wearer's personal
website or social network profile when scanned. In theory, anytime someone scans
the barcode with a mobile phone, the phone's browser immediately goes to the
associated site (MySpace, Facebook) making it easier for them to connect with
you immediately.
The problem with this method is that a W-41
application needs to be installed on your friend's phone in order for this
logo to recognized. Otherwise, the picture you've taken is useless. The company
sells t-shirts and sweatshirts for both men and women, but it would be a lot
cooler if they sold everyday items like handbags or keychains with your codes
too.
