Grand Central

Jump

Anyone try out Google's Grand Central? Looks pretty cool though I don't see any indication of possible cost when it's out of beta. Someone on another site sent me an invitation so I plan to play with it.

GrandCentral: The New Way to Use Your Phones

Seems pretty cool. I do question how they are going to allow me to switch from my cell phone to my house phone in the middle of conversation.. but if it's easy, it'd be VERY nice. The cost question also comes up, however, 1 number for ALL your phones.. makes switching phone companies, cell companies and phone numbers very easy. Too bad it's too late, since I can keep my Cell number anywhere I go.. (except it's a work phone so if I quit, I loose it).

The nice thing is you can set routing for different people and give them different rings on their end as well as different away messages etc. You can set times of day to route to a different number.

Great.. now google can monitor my phone communications, too.

nothing is sacred. we are all lemmings, and in 20 years our police-state children will curse us for being so complacent while we happily marched to our doom.

(or something equally orwellian)

Jump

That's just paranoid. I have been monitoring your phone calls for years and your life hasn't been affected.

Tim

Sure, but you went blind when you started reading my mind, didn't you?
