New Cool Google Feature


I like what I have seen and believe it will be useful once it's operative. Users of GOOGLE VOICE are able to select a single U.S. phone number, from various area codes. When a Google Number is called, any or all of the user's phones may be set to ring. Which phone(s) ring can be set based on the calling number, based on contact group (e.g. Family, Friends, Work, etc), and/or based on time of day (e.g. disabling a home phone during business hours and routing calls to mobile or business number). The service also features centralized voicemail and indexable, automated voicemail transcription, accessible by PC or phone. Google Voice incorporates long-desired abilities, such as automatic blocking of known telemarketer numbers, the ability to switch lines in mid-call, different voice mail greetings based on the caller, SMS forwarding, and even call recording.

That seems really cool. Google always has useful stuff, like Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Reader. Good company.

I'm holding out for TelepathiCo - no phone, no computer, no words, no voice, just thoughts.

I'm going backwards. Just got rid of voice mail and bought an answering machine. Couldn't find a cassette tape one. Bummer
