GrandCentral - Big Times in the New York Times
I've written quite a bit about GrandCentral in the past.Grand Central Megapost - News, Audio, and Video - Is this a grand slam? is the latest large piece.
Today it's easy to point out that I'm not alone in liking them. My friend Andy Abramson (to be clear, Andy represents GrandCentral as one of his clients) pointed to and article by none other than David Pogue in the New York Times. Andy's post is here.
David goes a step farther. I thought I did well bringing video from ETel of Craig and Vincent on stage at Launchpad. Pogue has resources beyond many of we humble blog writers and brings us a video (http://tinyurl.com/yuf7bo) that is hilarious, compelling, and right on the mark.
If you have only one telephone with one phone number, this column won’t be of any interest to you. Skip to another article, you eccentric you.
But first, count your blessings. Millions of people have more than one phone number these days — home, work, cellular, hotel room, vacation home, yacht — and with great complexity comes great hassle.
You have to check multiple answering machines. You miss calls when people try to reach you on your cell when you’re at home (or the other way around). You send around e-mail messages at work that say, “On Thursday from 5 to 8:30, I’ll be on my cell; for the rest of the weekend, call me at
home.”
And when you switch your job, cellphone carrier or home city, you have to notify everyone you know that you have new phone numbers.

Being the NY Times, naturally, the site requires registration, but it's free. I can't repost the video, but just trust me on this and click the link.
This is huge good news and great coverage for GrandCentral. It's also ongoing validation from a respected journalist for us bloggers, because we were really among the first to find GrandCentral.
Kudos to everyone involved in this coups.
If you haven't checked out GrandCentral, I receommend it. In fact, you'll find one of the new GrandCentral click-to-call buttons prominently on the right sidebar of by web site.
