Web Beeps are short, quasi-musical sounds which encode text. They can be thought of as sonic QR Codes. You can use them to create audio representation of Web links and identify things with tones. They are easy to create, decode and use and backed by an open specification together with an open source implementation.
Use a Web Beep as your personal cell phone ring tone and let people know who you are!
