Ok. I'll admit it. I've heard much about this Google Voice, but I have yet to understand why it is so sought after. Seriously. Someone explain it to me. Why is it so awesome that I would seek to give Google yet ANOTHER part of my digital life (wonder what their ultimate plan is...?) Just WHAT does Google Voice do that makes it so dayum special?
@TheSonOfKrypton: Optimum Online, Apple, Microsoft, Chase, Citibank, Skype, T-Mobile and Google are already having a great big telecommunications orgy in my life. One more service probably won't make a difference.
@TheSonOfKrypton: Google freaks me out; they are Big Brother in many ways. I avoid them at all costs. I wont even open my g mail account and have it auto forwarded to a different one.
You are paranoid. They don't use any information maliciously. What are you hiding anyway?
On Google Voice, I, too, have been using it since GC (anyone who has it now must have), and it is incredibly useful. I'm being really selfish here, but I love the exclusivity of having it when no one else does. But hopefully they will let me test new features early or something (that home hub would be awesome and I would totally buy one). Either way, I know everyone will benefit when they release it, so I hope they do so soon. I can't imagine not having visual voicemail and caller blocking/forwarding.
The one thing they have yet to do that seems really obvious is integrate it with Gmail, but perhaps Google is just waiting for Wave. It would work so nicely with multiple inboxes though!
