Google Tone Chrome lets users share URLs over audio

[mmadhankumar]

Sharing a URL to a web page is extremely easy with simple copy-paste and using the several mode of communication such as email, messenger and so on. Now, if your friend is sitting right beside you, sharing a URL gets even simpler with Google Tone.

Google Tone is a Chrome extension allowing users to share a link to anyone within hearing range with a single click. Google Tone embeds a button to the right of Chrome’s URL bar. On clicking the button, the extension emits a tone to share the link currently open in Chrome to anyone nearby, provided the other person also has Google Tone installed. The other user will get a notification with your Googlr profile name and a new tab will open on clicking on the notification.

The Google Research blog describes it as an experimental Chrome extension for instant sharing over audio.
