SmarterVoice (iPhone) - Routes your Google Voice calls to where you are


Developer Quote: "Ever wanted your home phone to ring only while you're at home? Well now you can! This app allows you to configure your GVoice settings so certain phones will only ring when you're nearby. No more worrying about someone else picking up your home phone when you're out of the house!"

If you use Google Voice (and you should, it's free!) and have several phone numbers associated with it, rather than having them all ring at once, no matter where you happen to be, this app will let you have the calls go to a phone you choose depending on your location.

If you're home, the app knows you're home and has your home phone ring. If you're not home, your mobile, if you're at the office, your work phone, etc. It makes excellent use of location awareness!

One Button Merge for Google contacts

Let's face it. You're a slob. At least your Google contact list makes it seem so. Time to take all those duplicate contacts and merge them into individual contacts. OK, so it might trim things down to where it looks like you don't know very many people, but at least you'll rid yourself of the slob image.

But knowledge and information are often lost or wasted simply because they aren't shared effectively, not stored in a way that's easily retrievable. Google's Sidewiki is one of those wonderful apps that is changing things for the better. Watch the video to learn more.

Now you can draw in Google Docs

Happens from time to time, you need to do a quick and easy, down and dirty flow chart, or some other type of diagram, and throw it into a document. Last time I was in that predicament I had to go looking for a free and simple way to do it. I wish this had been available then. From the blog:

"It's easy to create drawings using lines, free hand scribbles, text labels and a large choice of shapes that you can move, resize, rotate and adjust. Group, order, align and distribute and other features are available when you select objects you've drawn. You can also customize a range of shape properties, from line widths to fill color, and from arrowheads to font size, and much more. If you change your mind, there is undo and redo. You can collaborate with a friend or colleague on a drawing, or work alone, just as you can in Google Docs today."
