About ScanMe.com
John Harrison and Adam Filipowski, the co-founders of ScanMe.com.com - a free new social scanning app - have always set each other challenges for a bet.
In mid 2010, John had been researching the growing trend for QR barcodes, and thought he could use it to his advantage to win a free drink. Without telling Adam, he created a QR barcode that simply contained a link to his facebook page. When he met Adam at a crowded local bar, John challenged him to see how many people he could get an invite from in the space of one hour.
30 minutes past, and John already had four invites from people scanning his barcode! Adam was still with the first person, fiddling with their Smartphone, struggling to find which ‘Adam Filipowski' he was, out of the thousands via facebook search.
Adam bought the round, and they spent the rest of the evening talking about the possibilities of controlling a whole heap of connection details from one, unique barcode. The idea for ScanMe.com was born. The rest is history.
