Grand Central – Round 2

A24637DC-18B7-4B46-8D10-B129F91E8974.jpgApparently the rumors of its death were premature. Google dropped the Google Voice bomb today as the reincarnation of Grand Central.

Accounts are still only available to those who already had a Grand Central account but the promise is that it will be opened up in the coming weeks for new users.

It will be fascinating to see how this changes our voice communications behaviour. I don’t see anything obvious on there at the moment about integration with Google Talk Voice/Video but surely they must have pulled this into the offering (or at least are going to soon).
