Do you ever find yourself right in the middle of reading an article online, when you have to walk away from your desk? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could quickly transfer the URL to your iPhone or Android? Try this simple tip.
Create a Bookmark with the following bookmarklet as the URL:
javascript:(function(){location.href='http://chart.apis.google.com/
chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl='+
encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)})()
This bookmarklet will take the current URL you are viewing and convert it to a CRcode you can quickly scan with your phone, using Google’s Charting API.
Enjoy!
