[Hidden-tech] Google Voice?

I've been using Google Voice for quite awhile, for several reasons:

1) voicemail to text translation - far from perfect, but close enough so
that I have an idea of the message.

2) Allows me to abstract my cell phone number- I give my GV number out to
businesses as well as friends- and when I get phone calls that I don't want,
I can mark the caller as a "spam" call
and they will get a "Number not in service"  message.

3) I have integrated GV with an *almost* free text messaging service, which
can save money on the cell phone bill.

4) Desktop integration- I have a GV extension installed in my browser, so I
can make a phone call (using my GV # as the Caller ID) by highlighting a
phone number and right clicking. The same
behavior is also exhibited when clicking on a clickable phone number link. I
can also send and receive SMS messages in a similar fashion when at my
computer.

All in all- it allows me more control than just using my cell phone number.

Cheers,

MK
