The Southern Illinoisan in Carbondale, IL is sporting a QR code in its profile picture. I like the idea as it makes the most out of the limited space Facebook allows for a picture. Two other newspapers using this technique include: AZCentral.com and The Honolulu Star Advertiser. Have you spotted any QR codes popping up in Facebook profile pictures?

Have you spotted any QR codes popping up in Facebook profile pictures?

Check out AZCentral.com’s Facebook profile pic featuring a QR code. Just think of the possibilities! Having a “QR Code of the Day” gives users a reason to come back each day to scan the code and reveal a surprise. And what might that hidden treasure be? A coupon, a behind the scenes video of the staff, a prize, the start of an ongoing scavenger hunt or contest or….. What are your ideas? Thanks to @ChrisSnider for this find. He’s got a great blog about “Online media, innovation and the future of journalism.” Here is his post that mentioned the QR code
