Google Testing Voice Calling In Gmail

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can-you-hear-me-now dept.

Tootech writes "Google could be adding the ability to make phone calls from the Google Chat interface. Google is testing a Web-based service within Gmail that will allow users to place phone calls from their in-boxes. It's launched from the Google Chat window on the lower left-hand side of a Gmail page and allows users to place and receive calls from within their contacts through a user interface that strongly resembles the one used in Google Voice."

    Will Google be operating this like their search service and blocking you from calling people they deem inappropriate? Google obviously believe they know what I should and should not see so it's natural that they think they should dictate who I speak to.

    It's amazing how the "do no evil" corporations is actually one of the most evil corporations on the planet. I'm always looking forward to the day way someone produces a better search engine that shows me all the results, not a list censored by the Google Morality and Political Correctness Gestapo.
