Seems Google is on an expansion kick this year; as they’ve just released their Google Voice service.

Google Calling – Forbes.com.

The Internet search giant on Thursday is announcing a service called Google Voice that assigns users a phone number that consolidates voice mails and text messages from their various phone numbers and stores them a single location that can be accessed remotely. Google Voice also lets users make phone calls over the Internet.

They can’t even predict how many people will find this a viable solution; with the Skype’s & Vonages and not to mention all the various cable companies out there offering VOIP, now.

One thing you can’t call Google is non-aggressive, that’s for sure.

Rarely do I use the article’s direct title when I reference them; but, I couldn’t think of a better way to express this; (besides, I’m feelin’ a little lazy).

I consider myself a programmer… yeah, I do.. pretty much. Yet, I don’t have much by way of “advice” to offer, here. I mean, its really all a matter of personal opinion, isn’t it?

Yeah, it might be kinda cool to have a whole lotta stuff workable right from the browser space. But, then that makes ME think about security issues. If everything is in the browser, then all they (they = hacker) gotta do is hack he ONE application; (the browser); right?

Kinda like having ONE password for everything.

When Everything Lives In The Browser – Forbes.com.

Competition is always good, but especially these days with browsers. Features are being added to them that may, in a year or two, make a browser-based application look and feel no different from a desktop one. Imagine having the equivalent of Photoshop or PowerPoint in your browser–and thus available on whatever machine you happen to be using, desktop or smart phone or laptop.

Personally, I feel safety in diversity. Call me old fashioned, but I’d rather a thief have to actually figure out where I keep different things rather than giving them a road map.

Wha’chu think?
