GrandCentral reborn as Google Voice

According to this story at Tech Crunch Google is relaunching their GrandCentral voice/phone service as Google Voice tomorrow. If you head on over to voice.google.com you can see the new logo and it will even prompt you to login with your Google account. As of this moment though (About 10pm PST, Wednesday night) it’s giving me an “Invalid request” error. Looks like it’s a new toy I can look forward to playing with tomorrow.

I was among those lucky enough to have an account with GrandCentral before their acquisition by Google in 2007. Actually, I have a couple, but have mostly used one as my primary business number for the past two years. As a web developer, being able to check my voicemail and manage my calls just a click away from my inbox has done wonders for my productivity. It also makes screening the numerous daily calls I get about outsourcing my projects much easier to deal with
