QRpedia Demo at Mobile Monday

I love going to Mobile Monday London - it's a great meeting place for those of us in the mobile industry. It's also one of the few spaces which holds the equivalent of an "Open Mic" night.

MoMoLo's Spring Demo Night was crowded with great entrants. So much so that each of us had only three minutes to present! That's quite tight. I'm used to 15-30 minutes. I'm not sure how, but I managed to distil the QRpedia pitch down.

QRpedia was received warmly by the crowd. Massive thanks to the ever-patient Liz for recording it.

Don't just take my word for it - here's a sample of tweets from the evening.

Fantastic demo at #momolo from @edent for QRpedia.org. He's slapped up a QR code in the British Musem.

Love the simplicity of @qrpedia QRcode > language detection > article on appropriate language wikipedia. Instant localised info.

We also had a lovely write up from Ged Carrol

QRpedia was less of a business and more of a duh why hadn’t anyone else thought of putting QRcodes more effectively with Wikipedia.

So, onwards and upwards. I'll be getting in contact with the journalists who approached me to see if we can get some favourable press. I'm also talking to people who might be able to sponsor free WiFi in museums to reduce the cost for international tourists.
