Inside The Old Noggin

Today sparks a new era in telephony.  Today i received my invite to Google Voice.    I have been very interested in Google Voice since it was originally called grandcentral.   In this post I will give you a brief overview on some of the exciting features Google Voice.  My next blog will take you though the setup process, which was quick and painless and more in depth with configuring the features for your needs.

For those of you who are not familiar with Google Voice, it is a “telephone management service”  that is now offered by google.  In today’s day and age many people have multiple phones accessible to them.  I myself carry two cellphones, and I have a desk phone at work.  But many people have more then that, multiple home phones, fax lines,  cellphones, ect.  The concept of Google Voice is to consolidate this down to 1 single number that people can call or send SMS Text messages to.  At my job we were considering a service like this it was often referenced as “Find Me, Follow Me.”  What happens is when someone calls your Google Voice number, it will call every phone number you have defined, in an attempt to “Find You”.  When you answer whichever phone you are closes to, it will send the call to that phone, and drop all the other phones.  But Google Voice has taken this a step further and added a plethora of features.   Not only can you get voice mails from this system, but you can also have it forward your txts to all of your phones.  With a service like this you can now freely switch telephone carriers, telephone numbers, switch jobs, ect and still be able to be contacted with your 1 main Google Voice number.  Removing or adding a phone is very quick and easy.  But Google Voice does not stop with find me follow me, lets look at some of the more interesting features:

So I’m standing here in walmart and all I see is Michael Jackson all over magazines.  What is wrong with America?  2 weeks ago no one cared if he was alive now that he’s “dead” it is such a “tragedy!”  The media will try to find any cash cow to try to get all the human cattle to watch and buy.  I for one am very skeptical of Michael Jacksons “death.”  Think about this for a minute, over the last 10 years what was the best thing he has done for his career?…..  He “died.”. I just find it convenient that his career is over, he’s a laughing stock of the industry, he is selling off all his assets to fight off the massive mounting legal fees, and he conveniently dies.  Over night he has gone from a gross plasticman pedophile, to “The King of Pop.” It really is quite amazing, I for one believe that this is all a publicity stunt to attempt to resurrect his career, and so far he has been successful. His dvd and cd sales must be through the roof, they are playing him non stop on the radio, and the rights to air his funeral on tv must be worth billions. The royalties from this stunt must be massive. I just hope that when he comes back from the “dead” that Americans become furious with him, and we make him wish he was in fact dead.  Michael  Jackson, Fuck you.  Fuck you and the child you rode in on. If you are dead, then good ridden. Any thing you have done in the past does not make up for the fucked up shit you did. Guilty or not your a sick sick man, and I for one are glad that you are gone, even if only for a little while.
