Don't Almost Give

Great new campaign by the Ad Council reminds us that "almost giving" doesn't make a difference. The Don't Almost Give website targets causes centering on education, community, environment, hunger/homelessness, animals, seniors, children, and the environment. There's also a section on volunteer resources and a new section for sharing your own volunteer experiences.

Exciting New Phone Service

One of the advantages to dumping your landlines and keeping a cell phone only is that you are always reachable at one number. If you're not quite ready for that level of simplicity, GrandCentral may be the solution for you. Grandcentral is a new IP phone service that gives you one permanent universal phone number for life. When anyone calls your GrandCentral number, it automatically forwards to all your phone numbers at once -- your cell, work, phone, etc. Wherever you pick up, that's the phone that takes the call. You can also set up different actions based on whoever's calling. For example, maybe you want your spouse to always be forwarded to all your phones, whereas your business contacts only ring at your office. You also get visual voicemail, which lets you click and play on your voicemails at the website, or you can choose to receive your voicemails via email. Try out this free (for now) beta service and check out the many other features -- we think GrandCentral is a fantastic solution.
