Jul 2, 2007 at 4:49pm ET by Barry Schwartz
Google confirmed that they have acquired GrandCentral, a company that lets you keep one telephone number as you move from home to home or job to job. Google said:
We think GrandCentral’s technology fits well into Google’s efforts to provide services that enhance the collaborative exchange of information between our users.
We’re really excited to welcome the GrandCentral team to Google.
Techcrunch started the rumors and as we felt, they were dead on.
Gary Price has a nice list of competing and related businesses, to GrandCentral’s business model.
