GroupMe Connects Web and Mobile with QR Code

The new year's hottest start-up, GroupMe, shows off a QR code on-site to promote its new Android app and connect web to mobile.  This is a perfect application for QR codes that makes sense and makes it very easy to find the .  The story from December on Groupme's blog promoting free stickers for guerilla promotion begs the question if GroupMe will distribute QR code stickers anytime soon.

Started in the summer of 2010, the company is based on a simple concept of chat rooms for texting.  After a few rounds of financing, the start-up has secured over $20 million in VC money.  They are focused on creating awareness for the FREE service, further developing the user experience, and solidify a profitable business model. My personal experience with groupme was positive.  I found a bug in group setup, sent an email to support@groupme.com, got a response within a few hours, and the bug was fixed.  Check out this new mobile application and see how the text service can change the way you communicate. www.groupme.com
