It's nice, but like everyone else has said, I'm sure it won't make nearly as much of a difference as food, sleeping bags, or shelter.

The "homeless shelter." I'm sure they're in every city, and even the soup kitchens would be an ideal place to start. @Isabella__They could set up shop at a junction homeless people gather at.

I mean, what the hell do homeless need voice mail for? And second, if they have phones to access voice mail, they probably already have that feature with their plans. This latest ploy from G smells!

Furthermore, how will the success rate of this new voicemail system be measured along with follow-up of each users account activity? A decent idea but really how successful will it be? Regards, Isabella http://www.760media.com Andy,

And better yet, how is google going to market this to homeless people? Last time I checked, they don't use the internet. It is a nice thought though.
