Gotta Love Google!

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Gmail is rolling out free phone calls for all US based gmail accounts!

When logged into Gmail just click on “Call Phone” from the Gmail chat menu. After downloading a voice plugin you’ll be able to make phone calls right from your inbox! Calls to US and Canadian phone numbers are currently free, and international rates are extremely cheap as well!

You will need to have a microphone and speakers on your computer for it to work.

If you go to google.com/voice you’ll also be able to get a free phone number that will ring in your inbox when someone calls you.

If your account has been configured to make phone calls, you’ll be able to call phones in the US and Canada for free even if you’re in another country.

A Dansdeals forum user confirmed that someone in Israel for example, was able to use the service to make a call from Israel to the US for free. If 2 people in Israel, or anywhere else in the world, both have free phone calls from their inboxes they’ll be able to call each other for free!

SIZZLING! Get Free VOIP With Free Nationwide Long Distance With Google Voice And Gizmo5!

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Update: Since the time of this posting when unlimited calling was allowed, Gizmo5 has instituted a 3 minute call limit while the service is in beta testing mode.

If you already have a Google Voice account than this procedure is quite simple.

Yes there are tons of other great uses for Google Voice, but this one is pretty neat…I’ll definitely be trying it out when I go to Israel next month!

If you don’t have one yet, just request an invite and within a couple weeks you should get one.

Once you have set up your Google Voice account,

-Go to gizmo5.com

-Sign up for a gizmo account and download their VOIP app.

-On the Gizmo site is a “My” tab. In that section is a place to enter your Google Voice login information, enter it and save it.

-On your Google Voice Settings page add your Gizmo phone number (1+10 digit phone number found in your Gizmo account page) and verify the number.

-Use the Gizmo5 VOIP to make phone calls to anywhere in the US and receive phone calls with your Google Voice number for free!

You can also use Google Voice and Gizmo5 to work with any other VOIP device for free nationwide calls. You can use a device like this $53 Internet Phone Adapter to make VOIP phone calls from a real phone for free.

Tip: How To Revert Back To The Old iGoogle!

Friday, October 17th, 2008

I’ve been an avid iGoogle fan since day 1. It allows me to have the RSS feeds from all of the sites that I visit on 1 clean home page. Yesterday Google decided to mess around with what was a perfect interface and make it very cluttered and anti-user friendly.

Wanna go back to the old interface?

Here ya’ go!

Noe if only I could revert back to the old facebook interface…

Gmail Now Has Built-In AIM Chat!

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

Sorry if this is old news, but I just found out (totally by accident) that Gmail Chat is now interoperable with AIM!

To sign into your AIM account up while in Gmail Chat just click on the “options” button under the Gmail chat box and then login to your AIM account. You will now be able to chat with your Gmail Chat or AIM buddies. Your AIM buddies are distinguishable from your Gmail buddies by the little AIM icon next to each AIM buddy!

Yay, No more having to deal with that over-bloated AIM adware application ever again!

Google Maps Adds A Really Neat New Feature-"Draggable Driving Directions!"

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Google Maps now lets you choose your route and add destinations!

Now try it yourself!

Check out this route from LGA to 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn.

Google maps by default takes you on the Grand Central West to the congested BQE.

Let’s say you want to go on the Jackie Robinson instead. Just put your mouse at the beginning of the route and a white square will show up saying “Drag to change route.” Drag the box to the right about an inch to force the route onto the Grand Central West. Google will now automatically reroute you over the Jackie Robinson.

You can right click on the Start/pause/end points to remove them. Additionally you can right click anywhere on the map to add a new destination, or to add an origin if you have removed all start/stop points.

Pretty cool, no?

Free Google 411 Service!

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

I thought I wrote about this a while ago, but a quick search didn’t reveal anything, so here it is.
Google offers free 411 service to look up business phone numbers.
The neat thing about it is that Google will connect you directly to the business, so you don’t have to deal with writing down the number like with other free 411 services.
Another neat feature is that Google will send you an SMS with all of the business details including their address!

Both of these access numbers are free from any phone:
1-800-GOOG-411
1-877-GOOG-411
