Worcester Woogle & More

It appears that whatever is being done behind closed doors to enable Worcester to be one of the cities that Google graces with Google Fiber is working and I'm continuing to keep my fingers crossed.  When I posted this on July 14, 2010, things appeared alot brighter and I just heard from some peeps I know in California that the city that I call home is "on the short list". 

Hey, what can I say?  It pays to know folks in key positions and some peeps that are willing to say, "Hey, I thought you'd find this interesting".

Not knowing the full details, I have to say first and foremost a HUGE hat-tip to Brendan & Scott of Worcester Woogle.

In other Google news, if you have a Gmail account, you can now make FREE telephone calls to US and Canada (both landlines and cellphones) right from within your email inbox.  Thus far, this has been the best write-up that I've read and I've since tried it and it does work pretty well. (If you weren't one to sign-up for a Google Voice number or luck enough to have someone grace you with an invitation, don't worry, you can get a local "508" area code Google number.)
