Google's New Click-to-Call Service
teknopagan writes "Google has debuted a new service called Click-to-Call, in which they will connect you by phone to any of their advertisers. You click a phone icon next to the ad, enter your phone number, and Google calls you and connects you for free to the advertiser."
Not that this is the first and only thing in my mind, but if phone sex operators are using this service......
Rock that crushes, Paper & Scissors that don't matter.
prank calls have now reached a new frontier!
Here I am looking at male enhancement products... what's Taco's phone number again?
you should read everything on the internet as if it had "but I'm probably talking out of my ass" appended to it.
That's interesting. *click* *click* *click*
Alright, i think i'm gonna search for "sony" on google... be back in 30 minutes.
I'll confess: I'm basically going to use this to troll people I don't like by entering their phone numbers in ads for "freehotsex.com" or whatever.
What a boring name. No GClick, GCall, or G-Click-to-Call?
They just don't put the effort into their naming schemes like they used to.
For people like me who prefer phone communications over e-mail(*Prepares sheild for attack*), this is the best technology that I SHOULD have thought of first. And to think, I'd have made a killing if I just saved that damn dinner napkin....
" i r 1337. j00 a l0z3r "
That talk kinda makes you cry, doesn't it?
That's right..cry those nerdly tears
Indeed. I'm going to start making google prank call my friends immediately!
After all, I am strangely colored.
Don't be evil.
Give a man fire, and you warm him for the night. Set a man on fire, and you warm him for the rest of his life.
This is great stuff. Now you can talk to companies and get information out of them, without them getting your phone number. Google doesn't give your phone number to them, and the callerid shows googles stuff, not yours. This way the company can't call you back and claim they were exempt under the do not call list since you had a business relationship with them. They wont even know your phone number in the first place :)
