Cool Telephone Thing
If you haven't heard about it or tried it, I highly recommend the quick trip over to GrandCentral. While stumbling around through my usual links and feeds I found a write-up in either Lifehacker or Digital Alchemy (can't remember which). For the most part, I have avoided services like this in the past after taking a test drive and discovering some services beta and final released horrible. My high recommendation of this GrandCentral service arrives for two reasons.
Though not public yet, Techcrunch is announcing that GrandCentral has been acquired by none other than the Hercules Google. (article) With Goggles track record and savvy, I have confidence that the service will only improve. And I base that upon having test-driven it for a few days now. Wow! The old Blues Brothers weren't referring to this when they sang "Wadya Want For Nuthin'".
Here's just a quick rundown of what you can do:
1. Use one telephone number (give one out) for all your different phones. Home, Work, Cell
2. Give each "group" (family, friends, web-button, work or others) a separate ring tone (or your local MP)
3. Record individual messages for each caller, based upon their group, or their telephone number.
4. Individualize the preferences to suit almost every configuration you can imagine.
Really, Check it out at the website and call me through the interface below. (I won't answer because of the special ringtone.) It's really cool.
