Scan barcodes with your web cam

I’ve always liked Delicious Library for the Mac (you can scan in any book, movie, music, or video game, the application grabs the data, and puts it on your “shelf) – but, Barcodepedia (cross platform) is all web based, so – you could potentially have online communities of folks sharing/trading etc. Might also be an easy way to get stuff up on ebay, just scan and post…

“Barcodepedia.com is a community based online barcode database. The database is completely free to use, and everyone is welcome to contribute. Although it is possible to create a user on Barcodepedia, you can use the entire homepage without one. Originally the page was named barcoder which was a tech demo of of the new possibilities in flash 8, but due to a large interest in the subject the current more community minded homepage was developed.”Link.

    Luckily a quick online search led me to the correct link:
