Google – Click To Call

Googles got another new service. Click To Call. See the digg story comments for links to screen shots.

Neat idea, I can see it being abused alot, more so than with all these other companies that have had it already, mainly becaue the sheer availability Google will give it since their ads are EVERYWHERE.

But I’ll digg it because its gonna generate some revenue and because there are gonna be some funny prank phone calls.

Actually, as I think more about this, I can see Google instituting a nice way to keep the abuse down. When you submit a number, when it rings you, a Google-created message says:

“Hello, this is a call from Google AdSense (or whatever, Google ClickToCall). This number was recently submitted to be connected with an advertiser. Press 1 to accept and be connected, 2 to decline this invitation, or 3 to remove your number from being called for 90 days”.

That’d curb it in no time.
