Send to More Than One Instance of Chrome

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What I'd like to see: Pre 2.0, a2c would push out a request to all the versions 
of Chrome that I had set up.  That was fantastic.  Now, each instance of Chrome 
seems to need its own unique identifier, which is great if you want to push 
things to one particular instance, but not if you want to broadcast.  I'd 
really like to see a way to push to all registered instances of Chrome at once. 
 I'd note that setting all of them to the same ID does not work; only the most 
recently-registered one does.

What platforms (Android/Chrome/Firefox/etc.) I'd like to see it most on: Chrome

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll implement it after I get version 2.0 working 
consistently for everyone. :)

I think what would be pretty cool is to be able to send to more than one chrome 
by giving two chromes the same device name.  Basically it would allow chrome 
groupings. 

When you click Menu-Share-android2cloud it would bring you to a list picker of 
all device/group names you have setup in the preferences of the android app.  
There could also be an ALL list item for more flexibility.  If only 1 item is 
configured in the app, it does a silent send and bypasses list picker.

Great job!

Device groups are an interesting idea, and something I'd like to consider in 
the future, but I have a hard time seeing the use case for them currently. 
Also, App Engine's Channel API makes using the same identifier for two or more 
devices prohibitively complex.

I like the ideas, but at this time, they're not practical or possible.

My use case is that I want to send it to all my chrome's.  Sometimes when I 
find some interesting content on my phone but want to read it later.  So I send 
it to the cloud and the next time I am logged into any of my chrome instances 
(group), a tab will open reminding me to read it.  Just a thought.

As the app expands to more systems and browsers, I can see the need for 
something like this. I'll have to look into doing it in a later release of the 
software, but for now it kind of takes back-burner priority. Sorry.

Thanks for your patience, and the ideas.
