web technology is a way of life
Google posted about Google Voice yesterday with a little video. It took them awhile to get GrandCentral (a company they bought in 2007) to be up to what some of the Unified Communications companies already out there had going for them.

I even worked for uReach Technologies (their parent company) for about 5 years and Lucent Technologies for almost 2 years so I know first hand what goes on behind the dial tone. I already requested an invite to Google Voice; I suggest you request one too and see where they take the UC.

One Response for "Can Google Voice be better than the competition?"
I like Google Voice. Another service - VoxOx, offers “unified messaging” that includes electronic fax, access to popular chat (IM) services, Skype, and social networks (Facebook). It requires software install on Windows. However, the current beta version is buggy and slows the PC.
