There SMS feature truly got me into it. I am able to send off free text messages to Bangladesh, India, and USA. It saves me good money on my texting program from Verizon Wireless because I can use that to text. I think Google always does a wonderful job of giving users what they want and need. I have discovered in the future they are integrating Voice with the Android. Plus they purchased a new VoIP company which they will mix with the other two to give some excellent features. I need to get myself an Androind now haha. I love Google Voice. There SMS feature truly got me into it. I am able to send off free text messages to Bangladesh, India, and USA.

I live in the Bay Area too, and it's just PUMPING right now! Google at $550/share is single handedly rescuing us... actually, Apple, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Digg ain't doing too bad themselves! Gluck in your investment! I'm sure you'll do great. Lazy – It’s a great time to be isn’t it? I live in the Bay Area too, and it’s just PUMPING right now!

They really are committed to mobile advertising. Kento Sugiura, the Adsense Online Mobile Specialist, made a very interesting presentation about where they're headed, and how publishers can participate and get their slice of the pie. So when I saw the news of the acquisition, I was absolutely not surprised... I went to the Content Revenue Strategies conference last week, where Google was one of the sponsors.

I recently bought a HTC Eris, which inspired me to write about Google's mobile strategy on my own blog. Anyway, one of the main points I raised is that Google would have a difficult time monetizing their mobile advertising because mobile advertising doesn't convert as well as traditional search advertising. Now after reading your example about the Starbucks, my opinion has changed. I definitely agree that companies would be willing to pay for location based coupons, and as a consumer, I'd be up for that too. I did some shopping today, and used a barcode from a coupon in my email all on my Eris. I'm sure in a couple years when everyone has an internet enabled mobile device, these types of ideas will really bring in the $$$. Interesting post.
