Google Voice

Google just launched some videos to explain GV better. It's an awesome service and I only see it getting better when VOIP is incorporated.

My favorite feature

And it works on Android and iPhone.

Free Conf Calling

One of my favorite new features is the ability to install the GV extension into Chrome (or addon in Firefox) that highlights all phone numbers on web pages. If I click the number GV will call the number and my phone at the same time... I pick up and its ringing on the other end. Because how wants to actually type in 10 digits? ;)

Good luck getting an invite BTW.

Google Voice integrated into gmail. Pretty cool you can now make calls from your browser using your free google voice number.

Google needs to stop trying to imitate other programs that are successful and try doing something innovative!

Just tried a call and it sounds really good. And if you click on links on websites it will connect you.
