Now I can easily ignore calls from Google Voice after business hours, and I get emails of the the recorded voicemails (which are great when I'm in a building that gets no reception).

But imho it's a little concerning to have one company with so much responsibility for so much. First it was just Internet content, now it's email, documents, video, music, books, voice, phone calls, etc. i wonder if Google has had any meetings with the DOD lately?

They're just rolling it out as a new feature (which makes sense). All you're doing is forwarding your calls that go to voicemail to your Google Voice number instead of the voicemail number your carrier currently uses.

Same with Google Wave. There are only so many hours in a day, and eventually (and likely already now) people are going to have to prioritize what extra services they subscribe to and actively check. The whole Google-anything craze is no different than Apple fan-boy status, and I guess I'm outside the crowd that worships literally anything that comes from Google or Apple.
