Google goo.gl URL Shortener QR Code Creator Tested with Google Goggles

Here’s a neat trick for Google’s new goo.gl URL shortener from TechCrunch.

Goo.gl’s Awesome Easter Egg To Instantly Turn Any Link Into A QR Code

Here’s what I did:

– Pointed my web browser at: http://goo.gl/
– Pasted ThinkMobile’s URL into the goo.gl text box
– Press shorten
– Pasted the resulting short URL and added a “.qr” to its end: http://goo.gl/QH5C.qr


You can see the resulting QR code above.

I tested the QR code by using Google Googles on my Droid to scan the QR code.
