For today's Invite-a-palooza, we're featuring Grand Central, an incredibly cool service that was recently acquired by Google. Grand Central lets you corral all your phone numbers -- home, cell, work, Batphone, whatever you've got -- under one master phone number that comes with features you can manage right at the Website. Screen, record, or block calls; assign rings based on who's calling; even switch between your mobile and home phone right in the middle of a call.

Today we're offering private invitations to the first 25 people who leave us a note in the comment section (be sure to activate it if you get an email confirmation). Thanks, and good luck!

UPDATE: We've given away all 10 invitations for today's featured site but check back Monday to see who's up next!

Grand Central - puts you in charge of all your phone calls

If you dread the evening onslaught of telemarketer calls as well as the monotone response of "please take me off your call list," (on a good day -- we can't print what we say on a bad day -- ), a much welcome and highly rated phone service is here to help. Grand Central puts you back in charge of all your phones, (work, home, mobile, etc.) as well as all those pesky phone messages.

First you simplify. Grand Central provides you with a phone number for life which links all of your existing phones and consolidates voicemail into one mailbox. When someone calls this number, you can pick up the call from any of your existing phones. All of your work, home, mobile voicemail goes into one mailbox which you can access from your phones, the internet or email.

Now, for the good part. You can send all the annoying telemarketing calls to a spam folder. B'bye! Even better, you can choose a setting called "not in service" which will play the detested and jarring three note alert, followed by, "we're sorry, the phone number you dialed is not in service." HaHa!

Take the jump for more on Grand Central...
