What is Google Voice?

* Not linked to any phone or location, your Google phone number is like a regular phone number which is linked to you.

* It is an Internet telephone service that allows you to make domestic as well as international calls from your computer.

* It gives you a Google phone number which links all your phones together into one central communications network

* People don’t have to worry about calling you at home, work or mobile phone. They can simply call on your Google number and you get to decide which phone rings.

* You could have all your phones ring at once, or different phones as per your choice, convenience and based on who is calling.

* If you do not want to attend calls, you can have the call forwarded straight to your Google voicemail that you could check later from any phone or online for free (voice.google.com).

Getting started

* Click here to send a Google Voice Invitation Request.

* Just leave your name and email, and Google will invite you as soon as Google Voice becomes available. If you left your email address previously on the GrandCentral site, you don’t need to resubmit it here.

* Once you receive your invitation, just click on the link and follow the instructions to setup your new Voice account.

* You can find a Google number that is personalized to you. Make use of the number picker that lets you search by area code and text. You could find a number that contains your name, a specific word or a number combination.

How To Disable Google Talk Popup Chat Windows in Orkut

admin — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 06:29:12 +0000

Sometime back Orkut added complete support for Google-Talk popup chat windows. This is different than earlier GoogleTalk integration where your Orkut friends gets added to Google Talk chat list automatically.

This recent integration opens all active Google Talk chat windows when you move from one Orkut window to another Orkut window seamlessly. This integration also works while switching between Gmail and Orkut.

I personally find this very annoying as I keep open Gmail all the time and prefer to use Gmail chat version of Google Talk. Everytime I open an Orkut page, I have to close these annoying popup chat windows. So I wanted a way out where I can disable these popup chat windows and still have my all Orkut friends get added to Google Talk friend-list automatically.

Solution:

Disabling these popup chats on Orkut is just a click away.

Simply set your Google Talk status on Orkut as offline. This will not affect your status on Gmail and elsewhere.
