I don't see the logic behind it though. Lessee... someone posts one of these with a link. I see it on my computer. I'm sure as hell not gonna get out my phone and read it on a dinky 3" screen when I'm at my desktop.

also, IMHO it's retarded to have software to convert it back to a link. Last I checked, HTML had perfectly good link tags. Using a QR code on a web page is kind of like pasting a single picture in to a word document, and e-mailing the .doc file to send someone a picture. (If you don't see what's wrong with that, do everyone a favor and pack up your computer in a corner of your basement NOW.)
