We just posted a new HOATown.com High Definition video and you can watch it on your smartphone by scanning the funny looking graphic below. This is called a QR (Quick Response) code. Click here for the Wikipedia entry on QR Codes
Want to test out this great new technology? Just grab your smartphone and scan the QR code below. (Don’t have a free scanning app on your smartphone yet? *see the bottom of the page)
Scan this image with your smartphone using one of the free scanning apps you can find in your app store. This works great if you want to easily send a user to a specific Web page or video on YouTube without having them type in anything or even click on anything. If you scan this QR code you will be taken to the High Def video we just uploaded. We will be adding more HOA videos, tutorials, E-Books, plugins and other resources to help you manage your HOA Website or HOA Management Company more efficiently.
A QR code enables anyone to quickly scan it with one of the many free smart phone apps and instantly take the user to a pre-entered URL on their mobile device.
Over the coming weeks, we will be offering you many new technologies to help make managing your HOA Website or Homeowner Association Management Company easier than ever before.
Don’t have a smartphone handy to watch the video on your smart phone? Here is the new HOATown.com video. Be sure to switch the quality of the video to full 1080p HD High Definition and also make sure your sound is on:

Need to create your own QR Code graphic? Google has added a very neat feature to their URL shortening service. When you shorten a URL with goo.gl, just add a “.qr” to the end of the shortened URL. For example, this URL http://goo.gl/2xzFT points to our YouTube channel and if you simply add “.qr” at the end you will see it goes to a scannable QR code image: http://goo.gl/2xzFT.qr
