Google Voice solves the voicemail vortex

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

I am one of those less than diligent people who allow their voicemail to fill up on a regular basis. It causes me mild guilt but still I find it tedious and onerous to attend to it.

Seems like I might be rescued soon however. Michael Arrington reports that Tuesday night, Google is launching a new feature that allows mobile users to move their voicemail away from their carrier and over to Google Voice.

The benefits: your mobile voicemails go into your Google Voice inbox along with other voicemails and text messages, plus you can create custom greetings for callers and your voicemails are all automatically transcribed.

Now I am conjuring up how this portal could also be used within WorldAPP's data collection technologies. There must be a myriad of ways it could enhance one of our customers' IDEAs (Integrated Data Engineering Applications), the deployment of surveys and make it easier to fill in online forms.

Got to think hard on this one.
