I used to send myself links from one Gmail account to another via chat, but nowadays I mostly just open the link in desktop/mobile Firefox tab, and then later use the 'Show Synced Tabs' feature to open it in the other device.
For quick desktop->mobile I banged out this bookmarklet to gen a qr code. Caveats: this was a quick hack and probably doesn't work on everything. super long urls could be a problem.<p><pre><code> javascript:(function(){if(document.getElementById){var x=document.body;var o=document.createElement('script');if(typeof(o)!='object') o=document.standardCreateElement('script');o.setAttribute('src','https://qrbookmarklet.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/qr.js');o.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');x.appendChild(o);}})();</code></pre>
Gonna throw my own hat into the ring here and suggest Curabase [1]. This is my project which enjoyed some facetime here on HN earlier this week.<p>I also have a simple chrome extension which loads your links in a new tab [2]<p>[1] - <a href="https://www.curabase.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.curabase.com</a><p>[2] - <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/curabase-replace-chromes/ifgckhldabjlhpogafialmkihebjfmpd" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/curabase-replace-c...</a>
All the damned time. Now if only I could find a Pushbullet replacement that is more like Pushbullet v1.x without all the damned bloat.<p>I mostly use it to send things to my phone or to my desktop more easily than spamming my email. Two click sharing between my devices was a <i>godsend</i>.<p>Certain contexts make better reading. Reading long comment chains on my phone can be annoying. It's why I have a monitor in portrait mode: to make long-form articles easier to read.<p>I usually browse on my phone and send anything I'm actually interested in reading to my desktop. I'll send things from my desktop to my phone if I'm going to be travelling or want to show someone something later (eg: when we meet up for dinner I can show them on my phone)
If it's something to read - it goes to Pocket. If it's something to do, it goes to ToDoist. Sadly, both are overflowing with things to read and do that I'll likely never get around to.
I made Sayable[1] to solve this problem for myself. It did moderately well on prodcuthunt and /r/internetisbeautiful a couple of months ago (bombed on HN though!).<p>The main selling point is that you can send links between devices with no need to sign into anything. This was important to me since I'm not a fan of signing into personal accounts on work computers.<p>[1] <a href="https://sayable.co/" rel="nofollow">https://sayable.co/</a>
I email links to myself, and cc them to Evernote, several times per day. Usually this is because I'm on my phone and I want to read the link later on my desktop or just save it for reference.<p>It's kind of a hassle, and I probably only follow up on about one out of every ten links I send to myself, so I should probably just stop. (But I won't.)
I used to use <a href="http://leash.co/" rel="nofollow">http://leash.co/</a> for this occasionally. I also use Google Keep. But since I check my email pretty regularly, sending something to my own Gmail is what I usually do.
I tweet the links and they show up on <a href="http://www.tweetd.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tweetd.com/</a><p>(I am the developer of Tweetd)
The tools I use for this are pocket (if I want the whole link to read for later) or Evernote's web clipper (to extract the relevant part of the page and organize it along with other information on that topic.
I used to but now use the Papaly Chrome extension. I like that I can create private categorized boards that automagically sync across all my devices.<p><a href="https://papaly.com/" rel="nofollow">https://papaly.com/</a>
