Google Voice and Google Reader: Communicating Is Easy

Mountain View search engine giant Google has announced the availability of a Google Voice preview release that should aid you in managing voice communications, and has also announced new commenting functionality in Google Reader. And since we are on the topic of socializing, you should also know that Facebook revamped their home page so that it would offer you greater ease of use and enhanced functionality.

Google Voice will initially be made available to GrandCentral users – it makes sense, since Google acquired the service back in 2007 and based their Google Voice application on it. On top of GrandCentral’s existing functionality (GrandCentral phone number that redirects incoming calls to all your other phone numbers at once, call screening, web access for voicemail management, and the traditional means of checking your voicemail), Google has added one new feature – voicemail transcription (like you get in Skype).
