Help me figure out what to do with these Stickybits!

So, I got this little pack of Stickybits from SXSW that I just now discovered while looking for a pen. After looking them over, I think it’s pretty interesting1.

Stickybits promo barcode pack

The way Stickybits works, is that you can scan any barcode with their app and then attach a photo, video, file, text, or whatever you want to the that barcode. Then, when another person comes along and scans that barcode, they can leave their own stuff as well as see everyone else’s stuff.

Kinda cool, right?

So, I have in my posession are 20 promotional Stickybits barcodes2 that I’d like to do something kinda cool with. I’m thinking, because it’s summer, that maybe I could place them around town, in places where people usually are and just see what comes up.

So… I’m open to suggestions. Remember, anything can be attached to the barcode by anyone that comes across it. Audio, video, photo, text, even file downloads.

Any ideas?


  1. Think I might do a full write up over on alexstone.me

  2. They are labeled, informing you of what it is and what to do with it, rather than just being a regular barcode.
