Okay , let me tell you about what happened yesterday , a shameful story that I didn’t want to tell anyone about, but as you are reading my blog it means that you are indirectly my friend, and I know you’ll tell no one about it, so I trust you and I’m going to tell you what happened .
It’s been a week since I met my beloved Nokia N97, a piece of unique jewelry, that cost me a lot of money , it even cost me so much , that I couldn’t let anyone touch it , they started even calling me a maniac , but who cares ?? as long as I had my N97 I saw everything through rose-colored glasses .
What happened is a disaster, imagine, I went to the toilet, and it’s when I was opening my pants that I realized that my Nokia N97 was swimming in the WC pan .
It was dead , nothing could be done to save it , but this made me realize that it was all my mistake , not to have accidentally destroyed it , but to have put that much money on a cell phone, next time I’ll buy a cheap mobile phone so at least I won’t have that terrible blaming feeling .
And again , they did it!!! google team has again been able to prove to the world that whatever other companies were looking forward do to face this giant ,the giant Google will be able to bring new ideas , ideas that will allow it to monopolies the world of internet and also telecommunication for a looong time, after the launch of Google latitude ( you can read more about Google latitude here). Google team came up with a new idea that is going for sure to change our habits , and way we used to use phones before.
The idea and concept of Google voice wasn’t originally developed in Google’s labs, the service was first called grandcentral and developed by Craig Walker and Vincent Paquet , but Google had been able the feel that the idea they came up with was going to bring a big change to the way we used to use phones, that’s why google decided to purchase grandcentral on July 2, 2007 for US$95 and develop google voice based on the technology of grandcentral
Let’s talk now about what this service actually does .First google voice let you use the same number to contact all the phones you have . okay you may ask what’s the utility , imagine if you are waiting for a really important call , if all the phones around you tarts ringing , you have more opportunities to answer than if you had to start looking where you throw your cell phone .also one of the options that Google voice offers and i like soooo much , is mail transcripts ,which means that if i send you a voice mail , you can receive a mail on your laptop where you can read what i said on my voice mail astonishing isn’t it .but okay i can’t deny that mail transcripts is not working perfectly because it’s only the first version , but one it’s completely fixed it will be really useful.
But not all the world is happy about the launch of google voice, for example companies like skype are facing a serious treat and can lose a lot of money
and their supremacy . Especially if we know that google voice allows you to call any phone number in the us or canada for free .but unfortunately ,
google voice is now available only in the us , but will for sure spread around the world soon
Like i told you before , mail transcript is the function i loved the most in Google i’ve searched on the net ,and found a really interesting video that
Explains how it works : enjoy
