QRnote Heello Echoes Twitter, But Adds Group Messaging - Jo Soup Heello ("HE-low"), a dead ringer for Twitter created by TwitPic founder Noah Everett, just opened to the public. The project was announced a year ago, but it has been silent for most of that time. The original blog post announcing it has been removed (dead link). In fact, the blog link just takes you back to the homepage. Nevertheless, without declaring its intentions, the new Heello has arrived, and it is just like Twitter with one distinguishing feature: group private messaging. Sponsor You get a user name with an @ sign, and you @ mention people. When Everett first talked about Heello, it sounded like it would be something new. So what gives? On August first, the Heello Twitter account posted this ambiguous message: The "new Heello" sure looks like the old Twitter. It's worth remarking that the launch of this Twitter clone coincides with Twitter's launch of its native photo-sharing service. Currently, it's a Web-only app, which is limiting. Why does this exist?

Desktop QR Code Reader | dansl What are QR Codes?: A QR code is a lot like a barcode you see on most products. QR codes are a great way to share information like websites and contact info. They can be scanned using your camera equipped device and a proper QR code processing app (For Android, I use the Barcode Scanner App, and on iPhone I use QR Reader for iPhone.) Once the code is scanned and processed, it takes you directly to the URL on your device, or shows you whatever else was encoded in the QR code.
