Making links between paper notes and the "virtual world"

19 Feb 2011 Technology

I want to take notes about a resource I am currently reading on my computer. How to make links between notes taken on paper and resources (URLs, files stored in computers…)?

Scenario:

1. I have QR codes stickers that I can stick on paper… let’s say Livescribe DOT Paper.
2. I can configure the link to the resource of the QRcode with an application on my smartphone / computer.
3. When I write, my Livescribe pen recognize QRcodes. During synchronisation, link is recognised by the software and “replicated” in the numeric copy of my notes.

Problems:

• What if I want to write about a resource multiple times –> many QR codes to link one resource?

Alternatives:

• Write a special string (like a Twitter hashtag)
