Google Launches Village Voicemail With Noticeboard in India

 Google is getting into voice, not only with its highly anticipated relaunch of GrandCentral, but all over the world. Google Labs in India, for instance, just released Google Noticeboard in beta. This is a service geared at developing nations where not everyone has a computer. You can think of it as village voicemail on shared computers.

An administrator sets up a noticeboard on a shared computer in a village or Internet cafe. Then the applications acts as public noticeboard, where anyone can record a voice message. Text can also be added, but it is designed to work in places where literacy rates are low. People from the village can check for new group messages on any shared village computer with the software installed. It works as a Firefox add-on for Windows only. more
