On websites that have a lot of pages, breadcrumb navigation can greatly enhance the way users find their way around. In terms of usability, breadcrumbs reduce the number of actions a website visitor needs to take in order to get to a higher-level page, and they improve the findability of website sections and pages.

Think of it as a TinyURL you can wear. Each two-by-four-inch, velcro-backed patch has a Mysterious Commando Design on the top, and a QRCode on the bottom:

 So maybe on the next Event this conservation could happen:

THEM: "Excuse me! Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter."
YOU: "Wonderful! Simply scan the patch on my shoulder."
THEM: [scans the patch: BEEP!] "Thank you, I have just subscribed to your RSS feed in Google Reader." 

Imagine, you could generate your own QR Code patch on a Event, would you like to do it?

Just found this. And i like it. You type the name of a musician and it finds all his songs which are available in the Internet for free. You can create playlists of the results and share them with others.

Wanna try?

You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
