谷奥——探寻谷歌的奥秘

GrandCentral在2007年被Google收购，之后，Google对其进行了改造并推出了Google Voice服务。Google Voice初期只对原的GrandCentral用户开放，并于今年6月开始面向公众测试。随后Google继续大力推进Google Voice业务，在上个月他们允许用户将现有电话号码关联到Google Voice，紧接着又收购了Gizmo5这家VOIP服务商。

本周所有的GrandCentral用户都收到了来自Google的邮件，邮件正文如下：

Subject: The GrandCentral website is shutting down – GrandCentral is now Google Voice.

Dear GrandCentral User:

We’re writing to let you know that we will be closing down the GrandCentral website as of December 31, 2009.

All GrandCentral accounts were upgraded to Google Voice earlier this year, but since that time, you’ve still been able to log-in to your GrandCentral account and listen to old messages there. You will no longer be able to log-in to your GrandCentral account after December 31. Because of this, we strongly suggest downloading any messages or contacts that you want to keep in the next 43 days.

We will send you another reminder before closing down the site, but we suggest you take action now to download any information you want to keep.

- The Google Voice Team

很显然，Google已经决定在2009年12月31日关闭GrandCentral的网站，在此之前老用户还有43天的时间来下载他们在GrandCentral网站上的语音信息和联系人。这是否意味着Google Voice已经准备好正式对外开放了呢？也许年底的时候我们真的能看到Google Phone搭载Google Voice以及Gizmo5凌空出世呢。
