Chromecast and desktop computers

On my laptop, from time to time I wish to cast a browser tab to the TV.

Well, it's possible from Chrome browser, if you have the Google cast plug-in.

Ok, actually it's kinda useless. But it's cool.

Videostream for chromecast is another plug-in that lets you play videos from your PC to your chromecast.

I'd rather use Plex for that, but that's another story.

VidCast, this is what i've been looking for. It's a way to cast videos from the web.

Vidcast is a bookmarklet, open a video in your browser, click the bookmarklet, and if the video is in a supported format it will play on the chromecast. 

CR Cast is a chrome browser plug-in that turns your browser into a chromecast receiver.

This is very cool, at the moment it's kinda limited, but the developer is working on it.
