GrandCentral is hotter

Posted by Charles | March 19, 2007 .

Seems Tim O’Reilly just discovered what I introduced you last week, GrandCentral. He really thinks GrandCentral could be the waited Web 2.0 address book.

In short, I expect GrandCentral to become one of the premier Web 2.0 and social networking platforms overnight, and it’s squarely aimed at the heart of the communications device used by more people than any PC application will ever touch.

Regardless, give it try while it’s still free. You’d love it and that’s why they expect you paying the service later on. I might.

Perhaps most importantly, if this service takes off, it’s almost a perfect “Data is the Intel Inside” play, far greater than any email address-book based attempt like Plaxo. It will be the first service outside the phone companies themselves that could build that next generation Web 2.0 address book I’ve been writing about.

I do like their frontpage Flash. I gives all you need to know easily and quickly.
