Smartpox

“Smartpox is a mobile ‘viral messaging’ application that allows you to create and share links, phone numbers, email, and text using 2D barcodes and your Java-enabled camera phone. You’ll be able to create encoded messages to share with friends, acquaintances, or complete strangers. You can also create projects to link your offline world with your online world, and meet and collaborate with other Smartpox users.” (Thanks Heather!)
