Google Click to Call goes live
Google’s click to call has officially gone live. Had suspected this would be one of the reasons for Google to launch an IM Client, soon after GTalk was released. It doesn’t seem to have a direct integration with Gtalk at this point in time, but I would suspect this is in the works. In order to exploit the full potential of this functionality , it as to work all over the world and over a VOIP network.

I understand the technology for this is provided by VoIP, Inc. the same company who has been providing Google’s Click to Call service since December 2005. This company also provided the technology behind a promotional campaign for the new season of “America’s Next Top Model” on the CW Network which allowed allows fans to send and receive personalized phone messages from Trya Banks, the show’s star. he company also worked lk on the successful “Snakes on a Plane” phone campaign that featured the voice of Samuel L. Jackson.
And, in October, VoIP, Inc. began powering what could be the largest Click to Call promotional campaigns ever developed, for the NFL Network.
