GrandCentral gets Googlefied

Looks like Google has finally gotten around to bringing the GrandCentral site closer into the Google family as ‘Google Voice’. The site will get a make over that closely resembles the gmail interface. In fact it would have been really cool if it was integrated into gmail at some point, which still may happen down the line.
Some really interesting new features have been added the main ones that sounded appealing to me is the addition of text messaging to your Google Voice number, and also the ability to conference up to six parties. They also added an outdial service with similar rates to skype which others may find more interesting then me.
Right now I use GrandCentral as my ‘home’ number since I only have a cell phone and like the ability to turn off calls if I don’t want to get telemarketing calls on a friday night out or something like that. With these new features I may end up using it even more.
I am eagerly awating my GrandCentral account to be upgraded and I’ll let you know how the stuff actully works. In the mean time click through for the Google Voice Blog
