And on top of that what sort of people are wanting/using this sort of thing? The url/image/etc. can be just as easily sent over an Instant Messaging service or email as you said with the bonus that you are not interrupted in the middle of what you're doing some some cat gif. I'm failing so see any demand for this, business or leisurely.
- digi_owl 11y agoI think Google talked about using something similar for (temporary) pairing a device with Chromecast without them being on the same LAN.
- jsonau 11y agoI can see meetings and presentations using this very well. You can broadcast a link locally with a push of a button -- no need to know anyone's email or screen name. Listener don't even need to know the URL itself. This makes UX near seamless! Imagine giving a presentation in a public conference, you can provide resource (per x slide) to all of your listeners(strangers and what not) for referencing without ever saying anything about it.
- Roodgorf 11y agoOkay, I can see that I suppose. My thought was mostly that, if each individual is expected to be running the extension then they are pretty likely they are in a situation where everyone has some easily accessible form of communicating with each other. At least, in all of the businesses I've been in setting up some sort of meeting chat or IRC channel is pretty standard, trivial at the least. That being said, having a way to do this on the fly could be pretty convenient now that I think about it more.
