I recently signed up for Google Voice and just found out they have a “Call Me” widget. I’ve included this on the side bar of my blog. Feel free to use this to provide feedback, comments or ask questions about any of the things talked about on this blog! Anytime, anyplace!
How it Works:
This basically is a proxy between you and my Google Voice number via Google. You’ll be prompted to put your name and number into the widget. The number you enter is your home, work, cell or any other number. Google will call you and let you know that it’s connecting you to my Google Voice number. From there, you’ll either be connected directly to me or to my voice mail based on the mood I’m in. 🙂
If you don’t catch me live, you’ll get to leave me a message. Google Voice will let me know via an email that includes the transcribed message you left. Let me know your email address, IM or other info if you want me to follow up with you!
