Introducing Google Voice (formerly GrandCentral)

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

I’ve been a heavy user of GrandCentral‘s phone/voicemail service since some time before they were acquired by Google.

… is surprisingly GREAT! I’ve been using it HEAVILY for a few days now and in addition to the updated UI that gives it a performance boost over previous versions of FF, it’s actually WAY more stable and responsive than any version of Safari or Camino ever was on my Powerbook G4 (running OS X [...]
