Ironically, Sunday night I registered with GrandCentral, diligently created a snippet of one of my band’s song intros for a ringtone and uploaded. Worked like a champ! Couldn’t wait for my bandmates to hear it. *next morning* “Where the HELL is my “RingShare”?!” They could have posted something indicating they yanked it. I thought I’d hallucinated the whole thing. That’s Web 2.0 for ya.

Incidentally, I got absolutely NO feedback from GC Support for the RingShare ‘issue’ nor another question I had asked of them earlier on an unrelated item.

Sounds like a great acquisition for Goog -

Why doesn’t Google own all web 2.0 companies?

Then they can own all ad agencies, and soon move to autos, airlines, and pharma.

Soon they can partner with China to help poison world consumers in an effort to get their stock price to $600.

Why don’t they teach that in business school?

Impressed by TC’s accurate sources. Google made the announcement on their blog at 1:01 PM west coast time.

GC also added a two-way voice prompt when you try and record a call. In the pat only you knew that you were recording the call.

They are certainly getting their ducks in a row for a Google acquisition. I personally embrace it.

I like to keep work separate from personal, too. And I think they will not get many users in Europe. But maybe Google is buying only their expertise anyway?

But I will watch for updates. I created a short Internet macro that searches the Google Blog for GrandCentral news

Just yesterday, Grand Central REMOVED the ability to upload any MP3 file to use as a ringshare (what people hear instead of a standard ring while waiting for you to answer.)

Now you’ve got to choose from a lame library of “licensed” sounds.

I guess Google doesn’t wanna get sued by the RIAA.

I guess last chance to get a grandcentral account

Cool. I hope to have a Google/GrandCentral account that front-ends my Jabber/SIP/whatever-VoIP-IM account/service with a PSTN number, and if they can make that a call-out as well as call-in, then all the better. (It’s only a dream… it’s only a dream…)

Yeah, not something I have much use for either, but good for them. I love to see services like this make it big.

Awesome – it’s about time. However, I dont really have multiple phones and I like to keep work separate from personal. Cool none the less.
