Now why didn't I think of that?

Get your own unique "visual URL" from buzub.com -- you pick out your own unique combination of icons and it's only yours, no one else can use it. Then you put the visual URL on, well, whatever you want: a t-shirt, stickers, your forehead. Anyone who sees it can go to buzub.com and look you up and then get bounced to, well, wherever you want to take them on the web. Your website where you are selling your self-published Great American Novel. Your LJ. Whatever you want.

These are way more fun/cooler than those boring QR codes. I might have to do it just because it's a neat idea. But where would I want to send people?? It would be boring to send them to my business website; on the other hand I don't want to send the general public here to my LJ. Will have to ponder this...
