Chrome to Phone Feature
The Google Chrome to Phone feature enables an Android phone user to send links from your Chrome desktop browser to your Android mobile device instantly. This feature is a real time saver! By installing this extension in Chrome, you can select a web page, phone number, address or text and have it sent directly to your Android. Certain links launch the associated app on your Android, such as the YouTube app and the Google maps app. By highlighting a phone number in your browser and push the icon, your phone will start the phone dialer and insert the phone number so all you need to do is press dial on the phone. Very nice! Anything to save us time or improve the user experience is a plus.
This application requires Android 2.2 or later and Chrome 6 and above.

I have a tendency to see another or related subject as I type and immediately go down a different direction. You might say I am a little bit like my dog when it sees a squirrel while chasing a ball. Below is a video perspective from Google:
