Did A Google Earth Mistake Cause A Couple's Brutal Murder?
Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
It's official: Google Voice comes to Gmail -- phone booths on the way
But there's a twist to the voice calling story. It seems Google plans on giving new users the first hit free, as it were -- by installing Google Voice phone booths in airports and on university campuses. Here's how their plan breaks down:
- Install phone booths in public locations
- Get users to fall in love with the service
- ...
- Profit!
Also, Skype killer, etc.

I am having the same problem, I have tried it on three different browsers and still no luck.

It's not showing up for me either, but they're still rolling it out, so it may take awhile. They said that they would be rolling it out over the next few days.

That's good to know. I always sign up for everything saying I'm living in various parts of the US in case they don't region check my ip. Seems to work 90% of the time. For the other 10% I use a proxy.

I definitely live in Italy and made a US call this morning when I saw the blog update. My GMail account was created in either Korea or Kuwait, I don't remember, so I don't think I believe anything about US based GMail accounts only. My wife, whom created her GMail account in the US has nothing popping up for her.

I have a few friends in Australia who say it works fine. No issues at all. Sounds like a cool concept to me, I'm gonna give it a go this week! Thumbs up!
