I’ve been getting a few questions lately about the strange little squares popping up on the corners of the signs for the federal elections.
The strange little squares that once appeared only on the 14th page of your newspaper are now appearing seemingly everywhere. You’ve seen them at the grocery store, on the incoming store flyers, and now even the politicians are jumping on board the ‘new’ technology.
These strange little squares are called ‘QR’ codes.
If you’re like me, you’re using the precious moments between tantrums, gum removal, and diaper changes to keep in touch with friends via your smart phone. But, as we all know keeping up with Twitter and Facebook can be annoying if you’re logging into both apps to check the latest with your tweeps and peeps. I just don’t have time to keep track of all my social feeds by logging into multiple apps.
Enter Social Scope.

Krista Swanson remembers a few things about high school: falling flat on her face during a recreational volleyball game, learning to type on an electric typewriter, and being told that a woman could never make it in technology.
Fast forward a few years, and you may have seen her around town balancing a BlackBerry in one hand and an iPad in the other. Although she's no longer playing volleyball (she switched to running), she has learned how to program computer software, and become a kick-ass IT project manager. She's married to another techie who understands her addiction to Twitter a proud Mom to a geekling who can use an iPad with his eyes closed.
So whether it's an educational app recommendation to keep the kids busy on a rainy day, a review of the latest parenting gadget, or confirmation that your partner isn't crazy for wanting to buy that 110 inch projector screen for the basement, you'll find it all here.
