Google calling just went live in my Gmail.
Call quality seems better than Skype. If that continues, I’ll retire my $3/mo. Skype account.

Voice analysis to sell ads! Gawd! You might be right.

You know Google . . . you know this has to be true!

Useless, unless you use Gmail. I will stick to my own webmail solution which I have 100% control over, thank you.

GMail has been mighty pokey lately, which makes me reconsider this post.

It’s probably pokey because everyone is calling!

I was very impressed with call quality. But note that the big G has committed to free calling for the USA and Canada only until 2010.
I would be very very surprised if they didn’t log all calls. I half expect them to use voice analysis to help sell ads. The fun part is that is a testable hypothesis.
