GotVoice: Get all your voicemails online

GotVoice

This is a pretty cool concept whose time has come: GotVoice lets you connect your voicemail to the web. All of it. Here's how it works: You tell GotVoice how to get your voicemail. At scheduled times or just whenever you tell it to, GotVoice will check your messages for you. If you have any, it will e-mail them to you as MP3s and also make them available in their web-based interface. Setting it up is easy and relatively quick, but perhaps the most difficult thing about GotVoice is typing your PIN number into a web form. It just feels weird. GotVoice has a pretty friendly privacy policy, so if you trust them to abide by it there's little risk in signing up, especially since it's free for individual use. The sound quality is good enough and the MP3s—32kbps mono—are quick downloads. In fact, if you want to hear an authentic voicemail message retrieved from my Verizon voicemail and sent to my e-mail, click here (and don't tell my very terse friend I put her voice up on the web). It appears that you can add an unlimited number voicemail accounts, though home answering machines are unsupported.

Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...
