Now here's some good news: Google's web-enabled do-everything communications management platform--Google Voice--is now available to everyone (and by everyone we mean everyone living in the United States.)
If you're unfamiliar with the service, Google Voice provides users with a single number that'll ring through to all of your phones, free text messages and calls to anywhere in the United States and Canada, voicemail transcription, free confrence call facilitation and the ability to send your SMS messaged to your email address.
That's a lot of features packed into one free service.
Up until this morning's announcement on Google's official blog, snagging a Google Voice account was only possible via invitation. Not anymore: the floodgates have opened, and the Google Voice goodness is rip for the picking!
