I’ve been a user of GrandCentral for a few months, so I’m excited to see that it’s been scooped up by Google and will become a part of its communication interface (expect to see some kind of a tie-in with GTalk and GMail).
We’re pleased to announce that we have acquired GrandCentral Communications, a company that provides services for managing your voice communications. GrandCentral is an innovative service that lets users integrate all of their existing phone numbers and voice mailboxes into one account, which can be accessed from the web. We think GrandCentral’s technology fits well into Google’s efforts to provide services that enhance the collaborative exchange of information between our users.
If you don’t have an account yet, it’s too late as they’ve gone back into private beta (as they did with Writely before turning it into Google Docs). My GC number is 828.414.3578, which rings my office line, Skype In and mobile. Give it a try if you’d like.
I’ve got 5 invites, so leave a comment here or send me an email/Tweet/Pownce/Skype/AIM/Facebook message/smoke signal if you’d like to try Grand Central out.
[UPDATE: Apologies to those looking for invites to Grand Central... I'm all out. I'll let you know when I get more or if I find a good source for invites.]
