Dear Google,
I am kinda upset with you.
I mean, usually, I love your services. Everything's free. I check googlelabs.com constantly for new developments, and I read your multitude of blogs almost every day. I am an avid user of (in no particular order):
- Maps (both on the laptop and the iPhone)
- Docs (including spreadsheets and forms)
- Gmail (I read the article, and DO meet the requirements for being a Gmail ninja master)
- Chat / Audio Chat / Video Chat
- Contacts (Have the iPhone set up so that my google contacts and iphone contacts constantly sync with each other. One list = One entry for each person = :)
- Sites (well, actually, Page Creator. Sites kinda blows)
- Search (I use the integrated Safari search bar most of the time, probably at least 15 times a day, if not more)
- Feedburner (for about ten of my OWN feeds)
- Picasa (combined with Feedburner, allows me to imbed photo albums right on my webpages)
- Sketchup (Yes, I even participated in some of the contests in the early days)
- Reader
- Calendar (Sarah and I have this thing set up with iPhone sync where our phones display each other's schedules so I don't have to constantly say "I have to check with Sarah first")
- Blogger (of course)
- Video/YouTube (Uploaded a couple of political videos to ask the candidates during the YouTube debates)
- Groups (good way to have a mailing list without having to maintain it)
- Google Earth
As you can see, I'm a power google user. I'm loyal enough to trust you with my most valuable information, though some say I shouldn't. You've helped me through breakups, job applications, HTML syntax, and God knows how many other crises. You've helped me build sets, talk to my family, keep track of my schedule, even remember my grocery list.
Why, then, have I not received a Google Voice invite? I could be an entirely more powerful user with this amazing tool. Sure, I know your voice recognition skills aren't exactly perfect yet, but I forgive you.
You know why I want google voice? Two words: Spam, bro. I want to be able to give my phone number away with impunity. Not sure if the job I'm applying for is a scam? No worries. Cashier asks for my telephone number? No worries. Kids decide they want to start pranking me? No worries.
Look, just give me my Google Voice invite! Now! I want it! I want it now! I want it i wantitiwantitiwantiWANTIT!
