All your voicemails, text messages, phone lines in one place

Google announced last Tuesday that the previously invitation-only Google Voice is now ready for and open to everyone.  Google Voice is a telephoning system, where anyone trying to reach you can call just one number and reach you at home, on your cell, at work, or wherever else you might have a phone.  Google Voice provides the number, or you have the option to use one of your existing phone numbers.  Additionally, voicemails (which are translated to text) and text messages are all received via the internet, in one E-Mail inbox.
Skype will get some competition from Google Voice, which provides cheap international call options, but is not a local call provider.
Finally, parents, pay attention: your teenagers can text directly from Google Voice on the Internet instead of using their cellphone. Might be able to redirect some of the savings on cellphone bills to college saving account!

That kind of new tools always sounds great. Until you have to actually try to sort it out. End up reverting to old habits, most of the time.
