Google is pulling the plug on Gizmo5 on April 3rd despite its previous intentions to integrate Gizmo5's VoIP service / software with Google Voice's web-based phone forwarding service. At one point, all signs were pointing to Google releasing a desktop client for Google Voice via Gizmo5, but now, not only are the Gizmo5 users stranded, but it’s not clear what the plans are with releasing a desktop application for its Google Voice users. This seems like a pretty major disappointment to Gizmo5 users and anyone who’s been waiting for the ability to receive free incoming calls on their desktop.

Like most people out there, if I don’t recognize the number, I don’t pick up the phone. Although this method of screening works "60 percent of the time, every time," sometimes I wish I had just taken the chance and answered after realizing it was someone I actually wanted to talk to—not to mention the hassle of listening to a voicemail and then playing phone tag to get them back on the line! (But that's a whole different story and of course Voxox has a solution for that as well... check out Voicemail Transcription.)

This event challenged employees to decorate their wrists in the most creative way possible. From alarm clocks to handcuffs, the dazzling display of wrist adornment did not disappoint.

I can't believe it! He only got a Slap-on-the-Wrist

Glad those are bangle bracelets and not bangle tigers!

Let's be honest - when you get a voicemail, it's kind of a chore to listen to it. With this new Voxox feature, you might just never have to listen to a long, drawn-out voicemail ever again.... well, unless you want to. Instead, you can simply get a transcript of it via SMS, email and/or instant message. Plus, Voxox enables you to respond back with a text message directly from the chat window!  How's that for efficiency?

Here's how it works:
