I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else. It would appear that the mobile version of YouTube now includes links to QR codes, so you can share the video with your friends. I've only seen this using the Android browser, I'm not sure if it's available on other devices.

Browsing http://m.youtube.com/ at the bottom is a new link

It's using the Google Chart API to generate the code.

Will this spur QR codes into the mainstream? I hope so!

    Are Qr Codes catching on in the UK and US? I live in Japan and they are everywhere. It's hard to imagine things not using QR Codes here. A while back I was really surprised to see the States not implementing them. I'm not sure why that is. If you ever go to Japan you'll see those little QR codes on just about everything in print. It's amazing. In any event, I think QR Codes are awesome and very convenient. Hopefully they'll catch on more and become more mainstream.
