The "oddball marketing" concept they have seems to really be a catchy one. Anyone who says they have no use for it is lying. I'm drinking the slydial kool-aid!

I'm not going to complain over having some extra control over what I can do with my electronic voice. Oddball marketing or not, I see several uses for this service already; at work and at home.

I've needed a service like this in the past and I'm sure I'll be using it from time to time. I can see the point Gavin is making. There are times when I need to tell someone something but they are the type of person that can't talk for 20 seconds, so I have to schedule a block of time just to tell them one thing. So this could accomplish what I need and save both people involved some time. Its not that I'm trying to limit contact with them, it just might be an inconvenience at the time to talk with them. Great job on a good product that has many useful applications! I really like this idea. I’ve needed a service like this in the past and I’m sure I’ll be using it from time to time.
