Googlified

Google today officially announced that they have acquired GrandCentral, an online phone management service, as previously rumored.

Just before the official announcement goes alive, GrandCentral switched back to private beta and only “a limited number of users will be able to sign up for an invitation to participate in continued beta-testing of the service” until Google says “We are ready!”

As usual, Google has a FAQ page for those who are interested in the deal, so here you go.

If you are currently a user of GrandCentral but doesn’t want to have your data transferred to Google (due to privacy concern), you can discontinue your service by sending an email to support@grandcentral.com before August 1, 2007 (one month away) and they will contact you at your registered email address.
