Ok, we'll admit it, there were some bugs in visiting What's Up Hutch via mobile browser. Most daunting of all was the inability to comment via mobile. That was kind of frustrating when I would check the site from my Blackberry. On top of that, we ran into an issue not too long ago where most mobile browsers were returning some sort of XML error gibberish.
If you're anything like me, you loathe checking your voicemails. I mean completely despise the process of calling your own phone number, listening to that two seconds of your own voicemail message, punching in the password, getting to the main menu, pressing 1, listening to your first message, pressing 5, then the next message, pressing 5 and so on and so forth until the end of civilization. It's an arduous process.
I've always made my disdain for voicemails very obvious to my friends and family in hopes that they just wouldn't leave them unless it is important. Just the same, right now my voicemail inbox has four messages in it. I'm not going to listen to them, because I usually call the person that left the message back at my nearest convenience after I see them on the caller ID. So the voicemails will just sit there until one day I take the time to go through the process of deleting them.
When Cody, our office Google guru, or Googru, if you will (or just Google guru, if you won't. It makes no difference to me), told me that Google Voice was available and would transcribe all of my voicemails to text for me, I signed up right away. And I'm really digging it, so I figured I'd cover the perks and some of the problems of it for you.
