ConnexTo from Nextcode

In thinking about Digital Graffiti, I have been talking to Nextcode about their camera phone barcodes. Recenty Nextcode unvieled a consumer service called ConnexTo:

"Use your camera to take you to websites in a snap. Enter SMS messages without wearing out your fingers. Share detailed contact info with just a click.

ConnexTo makes your phone smarter, your life easier and your fingers a lot happier.

Just load application on your phone and you’re ready to do a lot more than take pictures. At ConnexTo.com you can create your own codes, share them and then connect with friends, co-workers, content and an entirely new mobile experience.

ConnexTo. It’s easy. It’s fun. And — best of all — it’s FREE."

From the Nextcode site:

"With Nextcode, a picture’s worth a thousand new ways to leverage the new generation of mobile services.
