This is a surprise gift for me on the day I got the US Citizenship. Google has bought Grandcentral and it is a cool way to get connected, without providing your numbers. All you need to do is to add this button on your blog or Website and the system connects the caller to you.
It appears there is a delay to get a login to Grandcentral; However, if you are a blogger, you get it right away; You would need to setup which numbers to call and then embed the code into your blog. Any US phone can get connected by entering their number. Best part is your number is kept priviate.
Here is the note I read from article:
With GrandCentral, a free service from Google, you can receive phone calls and post voicemails right on your blog. Though GrandCentral is currently in a private beta test, bloggers can skip the wait and get a free account immediately. Sign up now

Update on Citizenship
However, many things at the USCIS center, left me thinking, that it should be organized better. Like when you are waiting after submitting your documents, there no knowledge how much it will take for your time for interview or when they will call you for Oath Taking ceremony.
While the appointment mentions clearly not to come early, however, it appears more like a first-come, first-served basis. We should have a system of tokens/sign boards, to tell which case is being considered, the expected wait time.
Although, there is no mention about NOT bringing children, however, it various from Officer to Officer. The person who interviewed my wife, was pretty rude and obnoxious; there should be a clear policy on this. If infants and children are not allowed, either these should be communicated in the Appointment letter or they should ensure a Child-care is available.
When I was called for Interview, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the officer who interviewed me, was very friendly. It was altogether a different experience. Anyway, time to celebrate!
